go to antartica

The play “Terra Nova” portrays the ill-fated Scott expedition whose men arrived at the pole 2nd. It moved me deeply when I was a young man. I guess its the idea of doing such a very hard thing and remaining unrecognized for having done it. Or could it be the tragic story of the deaths of Scott and his men. I guess I’ll have to go to the pole and visit the cabin that they stayed in over the winter before they went to their deaths.
