Scott of the Antarctic: The Film and its Production.

I suppose strictly speaking this is not a book about exploration in the Antarctic. It details the making of the film 'Scott of the Antarctic' released in 1948. There is however, good detailed research about the explorers themselves. The last chapter called 'Character sketches of the Polar party', written by Walter Meade is a very good thumbnail sketch. The genuine photographs taken by Ponting are shown against stills taken from the film and the shows the lengths the director went to to get as close to the real thing as possible.
The book was published by Convoy Publications in 1948 and as far as I am aware was not reprinted.

JONES, M.

THE LAST GREAT QUEST: CAPTAIN SCOTT'S ANTARCTIC SACRIFICE

I simply could not put this book down. The effect Scott's death had on the people of Britain and on the rest of the world is brought sharply to focus. Detailed without being petty.

JOYCE, H.R.

The South Pole Trail : Log of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition.

The story of the Ross Sea Shore party, which had the job of laying supplies for Shackleton's failed 'Endurance' expedition. Ernest Joyce, was a veteran of Antarctic exploration: like Shackleton, he had joined Captain Scott on the Discovery, and been a member of Shackelton's Nimrod expedition. On this Trans-Antarctic expedition he was in charge of stores. This entailed sledging in extreme conditions over 1600 miles in six and a half months to lay provision trails to support the continental crossing that would not occur. This account is based on his log of the expedition. Published by Duckworth 1929. A good copy is valued at £400.
