Die Terra Nova Expedition war eine Expedition in die Antarktis, die zwischen 1910 und 1913 stattfand. Unter der Leitung von Kapitän Robert Falcon Scott hatte die Expedition verschiedene wissenschaftliche und geografische Ziele. Scott wollte die wissenschaftliche Arbeit fortsetzen, die er bereits während seiner Discovery Expedition von 1901 bis 1904 begonnen hatte und wollte zudem als Erster den geografischen Südpol erreichen. Er und vier Gefährten erreichten den Südpol am 17. Januar 1912.

In 1911, Captain Robert Falcon Scott went back to the huge frozen wasteland of the Antarctic with the intention of reaching the South Pole, by a long and terribly arduous trek across the ice. On finally reaching the pole, Scott and his comrades were devastated to find that they had been beaten by the Norwegian explorer Amundsen. With temperatures of minus 30, they began their slow journey back to their base.

Growing up in the Polish village of Tarnogrod on the fringes of a deep pine forest gives Mala the happiest childhood she could have hoped for.

I 1906 drog den grønlandske polarforsker og opdagelsesrejsende Jørgen Brønlund (1877-1907) afsted på en livsfarlig ekspedition i det nordøstlige Grønland sammen med lægen Ludvig Mylius-Erichsen og kartografen Niels Peter Høeg Hagen. Ekspeditionen gik ikke som planlagt. Rejsekammeraterne kunne ikke finde vej og omkom en efter en af sult, kulde og udmattelse. Jørgen Brønlund var den sidste, der døde, og sammen med hans lig fandt man efterfølgende hans dagbøger og Niels Peter Høeg Hagens kortoptegnelser.
