In this double biography Rainer K Langner describes a duel in the ice, a duel between planning and romanticism. On 17 January 1912 Captain Robert Falcon Scott and four companions, reached the South Pole. There they found a tent pitched by the Norwegian Roald Amundsen and in it a note for Scott, dated the previous month. The tragic drama of the British party’s return journey, having been so cruelly beaten to the post, only became clear after their final camp was found in November 1912. They were just 18 kilometres short of safety.
