Ninety Degrees South – Edgar Evans, Scott and the Journey to the Pole
Ninety Degrees South marks the 100th Anniversary of Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s (1868-1912) ill-fated journey to the South Pole.
It is now a hundred years since the five members of Scott’s historic expedition perished on the desolate Antarctic ice-cap, marching back from their fateful visit to the South Pole. Their story has become one of the twentieth century’s most enduring legends and whilst the names of Scott, Wilson, Oates and Bowers, have been celebrated across the nation, the name of Petty Officer Edgar Evans – the first of the five to die and a Swansea man – is less well known.
