At the beginning of the

twentieth century, the South Pole was the most coveted prize in the

fiercely nationalistic modern age of exploration. In this brilliant

dual biography, the award-winning writer Roland Huntford reexamines

every detail of the great race to the South Pole between Britain's

Robert Scott and Norway's Roald Amundsen. Scott, who died along the

way with four of his men only eleven miles from his next cache of

supplies, became Britain's beloved failure, while Amundsen, who not

only beat Scott to the Pole but returned alive, was largely

forgotten. This account of their race is a gripping, highly

readable history that captures the driving ambitions of the era and

the complex, often deeply flawed men who were charged with carrying

them out.

The Last Place on Earth is the first of Huntford's masterly trilogy

of polar biographies. It is also the only work on the subject in

the English language based on the original Norwegian sources, to

which Huntford returned to revise and update this edition.
