3. The Thrill of Exploration: Facts and Figures of the Historic 30-Day Expedition

In November 1911, a 30-day scientific and geographical expedition set sail to explore the furthest reaches of the unknown. Embarking on this venture, a team of men from the Terra Nova Expedition planned to make the first recording of Earth’s supremely remote, icy terrain at  the South Pole. Armed with little more than sheer determination, enthusiasm, and a reliable ship, this team of groundbreaking exploration went where no human had gone before.

A sense of adventure is inherent in the expedition’s mission – and the results speak to the team’s resilience and unwavering commitment. In the face of dangers such as strong winds, ice ridges, and polar bears, the whole team made it safely back to shore after their 30-day venture. They managed to document incredible findings and achieved an unprecedented level of exploration with a mountain of evidence to prove it:

• Recording 643 geological samples
• Gathering numerous weather recordings
• Conducting 2,000 magnetometric readings
• Marking several hundred miles of landscape
• Taking 1,700 bacterial samples
• Taking numerous biological readings

The list serves as a testament to the trailblazing spirit that drove the crew of the Terra Nova Expedition to success. It also stands as a source of encouragement to those who continue to fantasize about the unchartered mysteries of our incredible planet.
