Hell with a Capital H: An Epic Story of Antarctic Survival

Hell with a Capital H: An Epic Story of Antarctic Survival - Katherine Lambert [epub]

On 29 March 1912, as Scott and his three companions lay dying in their tent, six members of his doomed expedition, the so-called Northern Party, were fighting for their lives. Hand-picked by Scott to do scientific research they were on a small island they christened Inexpressible, more than 500 miles north of Scott’s camp -- with only six weeks of provisions.

Their unsung hero was Dr. Murray Levick, whose expertise in survival techniques saved his five other colleagues . He and his five men spent six-and-a-half months in conditions of unimaginable physical and mental hardship. This book is based on Levick’s previously unpublished, meticulous diaries, photographs and sketches.
