Captain Scott at the South Pole<br>Fry's Cocoa & Chocolate<br>Volcanic eruption on Mount Erebus<br>Ross Island, so called after Captain Sir James Ross, is composed of four mountains, one of which is still an active Volcano. This is the biggest and is called Mount Erebus. It is continually smoking and frequently small eruptions take place, when great volumes of smoke and felspars pour out of the crater, no lava flow has ever been seen, though the land round C Evans is composed of old lava.

Immediately on finishing a day's march the four members of the sledge team would unpack the sledge as quickly as possible. First the tent poles would be erected over the floor cloth, and the tent spread over them. Large lumps of snow were then dug up and placed round the skirting of the tent to weight it down.

In this picture we see the biologists lowering a patent bottle down through a hole in the ice. A tripod has been erected over the hole and the bottle, & c, is lowered by means of a wire leading from a drum over a pulley. A meter on the drum shows the depth reached. When low enough a weight is sent down which seals the bottle.

The sigin at the hut on Hut Point by McMurdo Station on Ross Island.<br><br>&quotHut Point was the site of Captain R.F. Scott's National Antarctic Expedition 1901-1904, the first expedition to penetrate the heart of the Antarctic. &quotDiscovery" was iced in close to the shore on the southern side of this point and was the home of the Expedition. This hut was constantly in use and in later years was the main staging post for parties striking southwards towards the pole in 1907-1909, 1910-1913, and 1914-1917. This is historic ground."

Scott's last letter from the Antarctic, 1912. Scott's last letter was addressed to his friend JM Barrie, the author of Peter Pan. Scott begins with typical understatement: 'We are pegging out in a very comfortless spot'. He goes on to express his sadness that there had been some cooling in their frendship, and assures Barrie of his continued affection. Scott and his party died on the return from the South Pole, having discovered that Amundsen had beaten them to the Pole three days earlier.
