90° South. 1h 12m

“Considering the conditions which Herbert Ponting carried out all his photography work in the Antarctic and that all his plates had to be transported home, this film is worthy of the highest accolades for the fact that it exists at all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is about Scottu0026#39;s actual journey, which in a way is a shame because Ponting, although not in the party who ventured South, took infinitely more film and photographs than were shown.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe documentary failed to mention that the party who set out to store replies for the return journey (u0026quot;One Ton Baseu0026quot;) created the store 11 miles short of the the planned location due to bad weather. Scottu0026#39;s return party perished 11 miles short of the the store.”
