Re: New Novel..
Book is in the file section of the group 'Amaring'- doesn't matter....
As to Shack's feud with Captain Scott, it stemmed from Scotts claiming priority in McMurdo sound after his 'Discovery' expedition landed there. Shack promised Scott to land somewhere else when he returned to Antarctica in 1907-09, but circumstance forced him to change plans..thus in Scotts eyes breaking the promise. Apparently the two men never saw eye to eye again. For what its worth, that's my interpretation of the literature. Its true that Roland Huntford builds it all up in his books about the two men.
