One hundred years ago this week, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott reached the South Pole with a small crew of men. They all perished on the return trip. In 2008 on Weekend Edition, NPR’s Daniel Zwerdling reported from the South Pole on Scott’s tragic journey. To mark the 100th anniversary, we reprise that story.
