About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Worst Journey in the World. Volume 1, by Apsley Cherry-Garrard. Read by Kevin Green The Worst Journey in the World is a memoir of the 1910–1913 British Antarctic Expedition led by Robert Falcon Scott. It was written and published in 1922 by a survivor of the expedition, Apsley Cherry-Garrard, and has earned wide praise for its frank treatment of the difficulties of the expedition, the causes of its disastrous outcome, and the meaning (if any) of human suffering under extreme conditions.
