The Scott Polar Research Institue in Cambridge is publishing day by day the diary of Captain Scott during his tragic expedition to the South Pole. They are doing it in the form of a blog - something we're familiar with - to help readers capture the spirit of the expedition, and the difficulties they went through.
You'll find it here: Scott's diary. As one old enought to be brought up with him on the list of 'British heroes' I confess to knowing relatively little about the expedition. It's interesting reading - respect to them for their dedication to the cause through difficult circumstances, but also slightly morbid because we know what the result is going to be come March next year. These are real people, not fictional characters.
