Who Sings the Hero?: 2: Black Ice

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Bruce Bedford
Four stories of heroism.
In 1911, as a prelude to Captain Scott's ill-fated expedition to the South Pole, three men set off in the darkness of the Antarctic winter from Scott's overwintering hut to secure examples of the eggs of the emperor penguin. Their survival, in temperatures of minus 60 or 70, can only be ascribed to astonishing courage and willpower.
