Almost done the Martin Beck series and listening to
About Scott's Antartic expedition. Title seems correct
They were insane given their gear.
Mostly directly from the journals which makes the dire experiences very vivid yet spirits stayed high. Amundsen did much better with his gear and reliance on dogs instead of "motors", ponies and dogs plus man hauling. Beat Scott to the pole and lived to tell the tale.
I had not realized how much longer and tougher a journey than the race to North Pole. I do now..
