March 14th: Scott's final Antarctic expedition.

Carruthers · 03-14-2014, 02:21 PM

Unseen images of Scott of the Antarctic’s doomed final expedition could be lost to the nation after their mystery owner gave Cambridge University until the end of the month to raise £275,000 to buy them. If the funds are not in place by March 25, the photographic negatives are due to go for auction, where it is expected they will be purchased by a private collector from overseas.

Daily Telegraph article.
