On 29th November 1910 the Terra Nova departed Port Chalmers near Dunedin, New Zealand for Antarctica.
The Scott Memorial Cairn commemorates the deaths of Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his 4 companions in 1912 on their return journey from the South Pole.
The Memorial is made of local stone, 12 metres high, with a concrete anchor on top.
The inscription includes Captain Scott's last message which I hope you can read. I find it very moving.

This is an excellent posting, I was able to read his last message. Very nice tribute post Lyn, I really like the presentation, and the linked look between the two images.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
They were brave men who gave all for their duty, faced so much hardship and awaited a slow death with courage. Fine image Lyn of this very apt tribute for them.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his 4 companions are heroes to me, Lyn!
When this fine image is viewed at full screen size, captain Scott's last message can be read easily. I find it very moving as well!

“I do not regret this journey, which has shown us that Englishmen can endure hardships, help one another, and meet death with as great a fortitude as ever in the past. We took risks; we knew we took them. Things have come out against us, and therefore we have no cause for complaint, but bow to the will of providence, determined still to do our best to the last. Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. We have been willing to give our lives to this enterprise.”
