On 15 June 1910, a large, excited and noisy Cardiff crowd cheered a heavily laden ship as she left Bute Dock. SS Terra Nova was headed south - to Antarctica.

The logistical and financial support received by Captain Scott and his expedition from the people of Wales, led him to designate Cardiff as the home port of the Expedition.

Amongst those who would eventually stand with him at the Pole was a local Welshman from the Gower and Swansea, P.O. Edgar Evans RN.

This exhibition was first shown in Cardiff as part of the Scott 100 events celebrating the centenary of the expedition's departure from Cardiff but now comes to the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea, proud home of Petty Officer Edgar Evans RN. It is a celebration of the contribution of Wales to the exploration of the Antarctic continent.
