South Pole, the book published by Prosper and Martine Assouline, has a preface written by Prince Albert of Monaco and Princess Anne of England.
South Pole is a heroic tale of a team of explorers who made the treacherous journey down to the South Pole led by Captain Robert F. Scott. Unfortunately, the team died on their quest, but thanks to Scott’s diary and outstanding photos their journey that was frozen in time.
“Arriving at the South Pole on January 17, 1912, the adventurers were greeted by their worst nightmare: a Norwegian flag.
Disheartened and badly frostbitten, they trudged back toward their boat only to die just eleven miles from the next depot. Featuring
a collection of stunning black and white photography alongside entries from Scott’s harrowing diary, this tome starkly presents this
well documented tragically untold journey in three unique formats: a trade edition in hardcover; an oversized special edition hardcover
with jacket; and, most exclusively, an artist’s limited luxury hand bound edition in extra-large format, complete with waterproof
pages – the first luxury art book of its kind. The book’s proceeds are graciously donated to the Antarctic Heritage Trust who preserve
expeditions and the thousands of associated artifacts survive for the benefit of future generations; and inspire people through the
values associated with adventure, discovery and leadership.”
