A 100 years since the failure of Scott's Antarctic expedtition.
Its in the news here at the moment. Especially about this man:
[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Oates"]Lawrence Oates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]
and his famous last words"I am just going outside and may be some time"
[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroic_Age_of_Antarctic_Exploration"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroic_Age_of_Antarctic_Exploration[/ame]
Was this the end of terrestrial exploration, only space exploration has that "glamour" now?
