Just started reading Apsley Cherry-Garrard’s The Worst Journey in the World (about his time on one of the Antarctic expeditions with Scott), and I have to say - his narrative voice is so warm, so human, so very focused from the first on friendship. He’s very wistful writing about this time as something that happened before the Great War, and seems to think the world’s attitude has changed so much since the war that the expedition could not have happened in the same way at the time of his writing. I think I am going to enjoy my time with this book, even though I have been promised a very bad time indeed.

The Worst Journey in the World

by Apsley Cherry-Garrard

"Polar Exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised."

The Worst Journey in the World is a gripping account of an expedition gone disastrously wrong. The youngest member of Scott's team, the author was later part of the rescue party that eventually found the frozen bodies of Scott and three men who had accompanied Scott on the final push to the Pole. These deaths would haunt Cherry-Garrard for the rest of his life as he questioned the decisions he had made and the actions he had taken in the days leading up to the Polar Party's demise.

The Worst Journey in the World is filled with details of scientific discovery and anecdotes of human resilience in a harsh environment. Each participant in the Scott expedition is brought fully to life. Cherry-Garrard's recollections are supported by diary excerpts and accounts from other teammates.

A masterpiece of travel writing, The Worst Journey in the World is the most celebrated and compelling of all the books on Antarctic exploration.
