I May Be Some Time: The Story Behind the Antarctic Tragedy of Captain Scott
When Captain Scott died in 1912 on his way back from the South Pole, his story became a myth embedded in the national imagination. Everyone remembers the doomed Captain Oates`s last words: `I`m just going outside, and I may be some time.` Francis Spufford`s celebrated and prize-winning history shows how Scott`s death was the culmination of a national enchantment with vast empty spaces, the beauty of untrodden snow, and perilous journeys to the end of the earth.
