Captain Robert Scott’s last letter, written in March 1912 from his Antarctic camp, has been fully revealed 101 years later. Addressed to Admiral Sir Francis Bridgeman, Scott’s letter expresses his gratitude, pride in his team, and concern for his family’s welfare, highlighting the unyielding spirit he and his companions embodied. Acquired by Cambridge’s Polar Museum, this letter forms a crucial part of British polar history.
The frosted bottle design symbolizes the preservation of these heartfelt messages, serving as a reminder that the spirit of exploration endures through the written word.
