Captain Scott's Bunk
Back to gallery | Back to Thumbs | Previous | Next
It's as if Robert Falcon Scott is likely to come
back any day and continue where he left off. A reindeer
skin sleeping bag sits on the bunk with a pile of blankets
at the pillow end. A finnesko boot sits on a shelf, with
socks hung up and the chair and desk where he would sit
and write his diary prior to the fateful South Pole trek.
The bottom picture is an original picture of Scott at this desk taken in 1911, the middle is a composite of the two.
