Herbert Ponting's official account of Captain Scott's legendary expedition to the South Pole, restored by the BFI and featuring a score by Simon Fisher Turner, captures the otherworldly beauty of the landscape in breathtaking detail and ensured that the expedition's heroism would never be forgotten.
The BFI National Archive - custodian of the expedition's negatives - made this award-winning restoration using the latest photochemical and digital techniques and reintroduced the sophisticated use of colour.
You will enjoy this documentary in the museum hall of the ‘To the Antarctic’ exhibition. Imagine yourself as a true polar explorer on the Antarctic polar plain and follow Captain Scott's adventurous journey.
