Centenary Exhibition: The Race to the Pole

To celebrate the centenary of Captain Scott's last expedition aboard the Dundee built Whaler, 'Terra Nova', and the famous race to the Pole that ensued with the Norwegian, Roald Amundsen, Captain Scott's first famous ship, 'Discovery', is hosting a centenary exhibition at her home in Dundee.

The show features stunning images of the 'Terra Nova', sledging parties, penguins and portaits of the men including highly emotional photographs of the Polar party at the South Pole. Many are incredibly well-known, iconic images by Herbert Ponting, the most famous of all Antarctic photographers.
