The worst journey in the world | Natural History Museum

Join Douglas Russell, a curator in the Natural History Museum's Bird Group, as he tells the story of the remarkable journey undertaken by Apsley Cherry-Garrard, Henry Bowers and Edward Wilson during the Terra Nova expedition.

Find out why the men risked their lives to collect emperor penguin eggs in the middle of the Antarctic winter and discover the hardships they endured, later chronicled by Cherry-Garrard in his book The worst journey in the world.
