In light of the death of Edmund Hillary -- and my own interest in things south of the border (as I continue to research and "pre-write" sections of my next novel) -- I thought I'd note the anniversary of Captain Scott arriving at the South Pole, where he discovered that he was late to the party. Roald Amundsen and his group had been there first.
The story of Captain Robert Falcon Scott is tragic and amazing, and one that I don't have time to go into right now. But check out the original story from the New York Times, which I've linked to above and here.
