:- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Gail Logan -- Spellbinding. : I'm a 72 year old couch potato grandma currently in my Antarctic and shipwreck mode. I loved this story and the courage of the men involved. The sufferings they went through were amazing. I live vicariously thru them as I sit in my cozy recliner. Cozy is important to me so I loved the descriptions of their hut. As temps dip for the winter here in southeastern Washington I can accept it with grace, knowing what these men suffered thru. I couldn't put this book down.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from mikey d. -- Compare this version to Roland Huntford's version of Robert Falcon Scott : After reading excellent writer Roland Huntford's books about the South Pole expeditions, I came away with a certain opinion of Robert F. Scott and looking back now that I've read this book, I think Huntford put a negative slant on Scott which is hard to see past, if that's the only book you've read about the expeditions to reach the South Pole. . The same applies to Huntford's rendition of E.A. Wilson. Let me just say that having read The Last Place on Earth, Cherry-Gerard gives a different and way more positive perspective of Wilson, who he worked and toiled with and also Scott, and now I appreciate both of those characters a lot more, as they both had their good sides as leaders. I also encourage readers to buy and read Ranulph Fiennes book Captain Scott to round out the full picture, because he rebuts many statements by Huntford, often given with no references, because they were fabricated.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from sad and timeless -- Inspiring travel book, great adventure. : One of my favorite books, certainly one of the greatest travel books ever written. This copy was a gift, perhaps the fifth time I have bestowed this book on deserving friends and relatives. What a story! Sub-zero temperatures, hurricane strength winds, their tent blown away, the nearsighted author can't wear his metal-rimmed glasses because they would freeze to his skin. I think of those things every winter when I am tempted to complain about being cold. ( Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2019 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from M. Bailey -- Magnificent : Magnificent, and easily deserving of its frequent praise as the best of adventure and exploration stories. ( Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2015 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Conchscooter -- Scott Of the Antarctic : This is a long slow plod through the minutiae of South Pole exploration Circa 1910. The story is riveting but the style is rather languid. I pick it up and put it down and make slow going of it as though I too were plodding across the snow. It is an extraordinary document written by a literate member of the expedition and deserves to be read to learn how the explorers and scientists of the time devoted themselves to their science and suffered for it. Scott's final expedition is as movingly told here as anywhere but that peak of excitement and historical interest is a long time coming. Read it if you are fascinated by the period, if not better not try it. ( Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from OnTheShelf -- A Journey Within A Journey : Having read Scott's The Last Expedition, I turned to Aspley Cherry-Garrard's book to read his own account of not only Scott's expedition but also his part in the attempt by him, Wilson and Bowers to retrieve Emperor Penguin eggs from the remote place they were hatching. The book is a triumph and very readable, if only to get a different perspective from Scott's. Cherry is very respectful of Scott and his own account mirrors most of Scott's though Cherry really seems to enjoy the company of the various guys on the expedition and especially Bill Wilson's and Birdie Bowers, with whom he makes 'the worst journey' to get the eggs. The most amazing part is that any of the three of them survived that one part of the expedition - their tent blew away, leaving them to sleep in a man-made igloo. Miraculously, they found the wind, including its poles and strings on their way back from the igloo towards the Polar Hut which possibly accounts for them staying alive! All 3 men are well-described, Bowers, a naval man from Scotland (called Birdie due to his beaky nose) is a stocky, no-nonsense grafter who doesn't feel the cold like others do and can walk and ski further. Wilson is a diplomatic, kind man with wisdom to spare and especially good at encouraging the younger men but especially Scott. It is an amazing tale, a magnificent endeavour to collect eggs for the scientists back home. Cherry went to London with them (the only survivor of the expedition) and was made to wait for an hour before someone came to take them from him - the recipient showed little interest and was downright rude about why Cherry was leaving the eggs...little did he realise what those men went through to get them.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Mrs. J. Pattinson -- Book bucket list : A book I have wanted to read for some time. Deserves the praise many have given over the years. Makes me wonder how...given the lack of all modern technology, clothing and knowledge we now have these men set off into unknown places and conditions. Temperature alone frightening. Some beautiful descriptions of the natural world... especially the effects of light on snow. Have lent to a friend to read. I have no doubt that I will read this again. Outstanding courage across the account....not to mention determination. Wonder if there are many of this calibre left. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 11, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from PrideOfNottingham -- Gripping and moving account of real tough guys : The hardships endured by the expedition almost beggar belief. This is an account of just how far people can go and what they can do in the most inhospitable conditions. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 25, 2020 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Guy -- Derring Do, History in the making, and an awful lot more : Apsley Cherry Garrard was one of the youngest men on Scott's final, fatal expedition to the Antarctic and wound up responsible for writing the official account of the journey, out of which this book gestated.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Iain -- Mesmerising : This is everything a true adventure story should be. The author, Apsley Cherry-Garrard was one of the party who adventured to the South Pole with Scott and later located the bodies of his dear comrades. It is heart felt and provides the reader with a true understanding of the emotions of and the conditions for the party. I couldn't put this one down and later trawled the internet and libraries for all I could find on Antarctic Exploration. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 4, 2019 )
