Terra Nova: The White Silence | Captain Scott’s Journey to the South Pole, Antarctica

A thorough telling of the events of the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913). This was an Antarctic venture led by famed explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott, whose main objective, aside from the many scientific research goals, was to reach the geographic South Pole and claim it for the United Kingdom. It is a well-known tale of struggle and survival, but too many people focus solely on Scott’s part in the expedition, and exclude the adventures of the many other men who accompanied him in Antarctica. This documentary aims to address Scott and his companions thoroughly, who were a band of interesting and colorful characters. Many were brave and honorable, and a few were arguably negligent. Join me in this sprawling documentary epic produced over a period of two years. You will be enthralled, educated, entertained, and moved. 0:00:00 - Introduction 0:01:35 - Part 1: Discovery 0:23:55 - Part 2: Intermission & Nimrod 0:38:22 - Part 3: Terra Nova 1:01:28 - Part 4: Settling Dow
