About

Landscapes of Exploration Dir. Hubert Ponting, with Robert Falcon Scott (as self) Running time: 106 minutes UK Certificate: U 100 years ago the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913) led by Captain Scott set out on its ill-fated race to the South Pole. Joining Scott on board the Terra Nova was official photographer and cinematographer Herbert Ponting. The images he captured have fired imaginations ever since. Ponting filmed almost every aspect of the expedition: the scientific work, life in camp and the local wildlife, the result of which is this magnificent and haunting film.
