A sledge from the second year of the British Antarctic ‘Terra Nova’ Expedition1910. The expedition was led by Robert Falcon Scott, and had the objective of being the first to reach the South Pole as well as furthering scientific knowledge of this uncharted region. This type of sledge was known as ‘Finnesski’, originally designed by Dr F. Nansen, this variation had tapered runners to haul heavier loads. Scott and four companions attained the South Pole on 17 January 1912 to find that a Norwegian team led by Roald Amundsen had beaten them by thirty-three days. On a disastrous return journey to base camp Scott and his party all perished probably due to starvation or scurvy. Scott and his team became tragic heroes of the British Empire.
