The Love Story Hiding in a Legendary Tragedy Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s doomed journey to Antarctica captivated the world. But hidden within the legend was a story that has never been told—a love affair between two of the crew who survived.

Two years ago, I discovered a love story hidden within Scott’s last Antarctic expedition—between two of his officers, Pennell and Atkinson. They survived the tragedy which took Scott’s life and shocked the world, but further dangers still lay ahead for them.
