Sinopsis

The Worst Journey in the World by Apsley Cherry-Garrard is a firsthand account of the harrowing experiences of the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913), led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott in Antarctica. Cherry-Garrard, one of the youngest members, describes both the scientific aims of the expedition and the brutal realities of polar exploration.The book is best known for its description of the infamous winter journey to collect emperor penguin eggs-an ordeal of total darkness, ?60°C temperatures, and constant danger-which Cherry-Garrard and two companions barely survived. It also recounts Scott?s tragic attempt to reach the South Pole, the team?s extreme hardships, and the deaths of Scott and four others on the return trip.Blending adventure, tragedy, and reflection, the memoir explores courage, suffering, and the limits of human endurance in one of the harshest places on Earth.
