Cinematographer Herbert Ponting accompanied Capt. Robert Scott on his doomed 1910 expedition to the South Pole, and the result is this remarkable photographic diary. Not only did Scott discover that a Norwegian had beaten him to the finish line, but his entire party perished on the brutal return trip. Ponting's footage was re-edited into a documentary feature in 1933, with his own journal entries serving as poignant narration. 70 min.
