The Maritime Museum in Pyrmont has an exhibition of Captain Robert Scott and his Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole. Next year marks the centenary of the sad and yet profoundly heroic deaths of Scott, Wilson, Oates, Evans and Bowers. They succeeded in reaching the pole but were beaten by the Norwegians by a matter of days. On the return trek they all perished - the last three were only eleven miles from a food depot that could have saved them.
