ENG  On board the Quest was Boy Scout James Slessor Marr, who had come through a rigorous competition, before being selected by the famous Sir Ernest Shackleton, for the honor of traveling with him to Antarctica. Shackleton was an admirer of the Boy Scout movement, and had arranged the competition with Robert Baden-Powell. James began a journal of his travels aboard the Quest, which would later be published as Into the Frozen South in 1923.

This is the perfect read for anyone interested in the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, Scott of the Antarctic, Sir Ernest Shackleton, or Robert Baden-Powell and the foundation of the Scouts.
