In 1910, the British polar explorer Scott led the polar exploration team to set off from the United Kingdom to Antarctica on the "New Earth", trying to challenge the world's record of reaching the South Pole for the first time. After countless planning, repeated replenishment of supplies to the ice shed, and continuous trekking in the treacherous snow, the five-person team exploring the pole fell into the clutches of bad luck, bad weather, and mental breakdown in the final stage. In addition, they had to face the heavy blow from Norwegian explorer Amundsen and his party who had reached the South Pole first a month ago. In addition to grief, anger and pain, the five people embarked on a cursed return journey. In the end, they fell down one after another due to lack of physical strength and lack of fuel, and all died, which brought a heroic end to this extreme competition. The supply team who had returned to base earlier returned to New Zealand in 1913. Sherry Garrard, the youngest member of the expedition, published this classic masterpiece of polar exploration in 1922, allowing the world to witness the most famous tragic event in the history of exploration.
