Radio 4 - Midweek programme discussing 'The Lost Photographs of Captain Scott'

The beginning of the recording talks about old pieces of furniture that had been placed in their homes as they were growing up and how one of the interviewees used to play hide and seek in one before it got send to a museum and was deemed a priceless artifact. The conversation moves on to the photographs they had found that no-one had ever seen before on how they stumbled upon these, The photos show through scotts eyes, what he saw during his expedition. They talk about the hash weather he endured and how sometimes it was not possible to take photos in that type of weather, especially if you breathed on the camera because you would steam it up, then it would freeze, leaving you with and afternoon without a camera. Scott kept a diary of all things he came across, the diary narrates the photos, they follow hand in hand.
