Capt. Scott and his team reaching the Pole

 

The struggle and suffering of Capt. Scott's polar party cannot be adequately described, Scott's overconfidence in motorsleds, in the ill-suited ponies and the heroic ideal of man-hauling doomed the team to lose the race - and later much more than that. This is the moment Scott and his followers discover that they have been beaten to the pole by the Norwegians. Still, with all their failings, you cannot but be moved by the heartbreak they each experience.
