British Antarctic Expedition 1910. An important 'Antarctic Ocean Sheet IV' chart with the plotted course for RYS 'Terra Nova' 1910-1913: with dates and annotations, each year's course listed 'Scott SS 'Terra Nova', the 1910-1911 course in red, 1911-1912 in green and 1912-1913 in yellow, detailing the voyages off South Victoria and noting the dates of entering and leaving the pack ice, 1911-1912, 69cm x 100cm. Together with a copy of 'With Scott Before the Mast'*Notes- Captain Scott notes in his diary on the 7th December, 1910, that 'First Ice' was spotted at dinner. This was to be the start of a frustrating period of twenty days for the expedition as the Terra Nova struggled to make passage through the pack ice. A summary in Scott's Diary notes that on two separate occasions, the ship stopped and fires were doused for a period of five days and four and half days. After leaving on the 26th February 1911, the Terra Nova continued her duties of surveying the region and carrying supplies back and forth.
