Season 1, Episode 03 –
With the South Pole still up for grabs, Scott sets off on his next attempt to claim the pole; the “Terra Nova” Expedition. Scott is chomping at the bit. He tried so hard on his first expedition, nearly lost out as Shackleton swooped in just two years previously, but ultimately failed. Now, the door is wide open for Scott and his team, the pole must be his. But a new pretender to the throne arrives. Norwegian Roald Amundsen announces his plan to take the pole at the last minute, and for Scott his expedition has now become a race – a deadly race.
Ben and Dwayne drag their kit across the Polar plateau in fierce storms as Scott and his team did, but for Scott arriving at the Pole was a desperate and wretched moment as they discovered that they had been beaten by the Norwegian – and by a full month. Scott’s dreams were shattered, and he and his team now faced the long journey home hauling their kit back all the thousands of kilometres they had already walked. As they headed home, their travails only increase as unseasonal weather turned against them, their rations running low and one by one they start to die in the frozen wastes of Antarctica.
Ben and Dwayne find moments to lift their spirts as they recreate the sailing that turned Scott’s sled into a ‘Heath Robinson boat’. But ultimately, Scott, who had now been out on the ice for nearly five months, was beaten not just to the South Pole but by Antarctica, as he and his two remaining team mates were tent bound just 11 miles from salvation and lay down to their deaths on the ice. In an emotive farewell Ben and Dwayne rebuild a memorial cairn to their heroes.
