In 1911, three men struggled for five weeks through the Antarctic winter to collect penguin eggs

Came here to post about this.
IDK - crossing eight foot pressure waves in the antarctic winter? They basically had to carry the sled. It quite clearly was a tougher journey than Scott’s - he messed up by taking ponies. If you can name a tougher expedition, give it your best shot.
It is one fantastic book. You’ve got it in the neck, stick it, stick it…
