Terra Nova Illustrated 

Come and be the first to hear about David Wilson’s latest book, Terra Nova Illustrated: Pictures from Captain Scott's Last Antarctic Expedition 1910-1913, based on over a decade of research.

David Wilson has a personal connection to the subject – he is the great nephew Edward Wilson who died alongside Captain Scott on their return from the South Pole.
