“For a joint scientific and geographical piece of organization,
give me Scott; for a winter journey, Wilson; for a dash to the Pole and
nothing else, Amundsen: and if I am in the devil of a hole and want to
get out of it, give me Shackleton every time.” Apsley Cherry-Garrard
Robert Falcon Scott
Edward A. Wilson
Roald Amundsen
Ernest Shackleton
