In peace.  Deception Island, Antarctica.
 “… but for my own sake I do not regret this journey, which has shown  that Englishmen can endure hardships, help one another, and meet death  with as great a fortitude as ever in the past. We took risks, we knew we  took them; things have come out against us, and therefore we have no  cause for complaint, but bow to the will of providence, determined still  to do our best to the last … Had we lived, I should have had a tale  to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which  would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and  our dead bodies must tell the tale, but surely, surely, a great rich  country like ours will see that those who are dependent on us are  properly provided for.” [Robert F. Scott, Last Message. Scott’s Last Expedition vol 1, pp 605-07]
