Details |
Some of the dogs of the Captain Scott polar expedition to Antarctica, pictured on the deck of the Terra Nova after the vessel's return to Lyttelton, New Zealand in February 1913. Scott used dogs for some of the haulage but did not approve of slaughtering them for food as Amundsen did. Some biographers have argued that his views cost him the expedition and his life.
