| 12. |  | Herbert G. Ponting n.d. Apsley Cherry-Garrard [British Antarctic Expedition 1910-1913 (led by Scott on the "Terra Nova")] Gelatin silver print, contact 12 x 16 cm L'Atelier d'Artistes With Wilson and Lieutenant Henry 'Birdie' Bowers, Cherry made a trip to Cape Crozier in July 1911 during the austral winter in order to secure an unhatched Emperor penguin egg. Cherry suffered from high degree myopia,[4] seeing little without spectacles that he could not wear while sledging.[5] In almost total darkness, and with temperatures ranging from -40 ¦F (-40 ¦C) to -77.5 ¦F (-60.8 ¦C), they man-hauled their sledge 60 miles (97 km) from Scott's base at Cape Evans to the far side of Ross Island. Frozen and exhausted, they reached their goal only to be pinned down by a blizzard. Their tent was ripped away and carried off by the wind, leaving the men in their sleeping bags under a thickening drift of snow, singing hymns above the sounds of the storm. When the winds subsided however, by great fortune they found their tent lodged nearby in rocks. Cherry-Garrard suffered such cold that he shattered most of his teeth due to chattering in the frigid temperatures. Having successfully collected three eggs and desperately exhausted they eventually arrived back at Cape Evans, sometimes only managing a mile and a half a day. Cherry later referred to this as the 'worst journey in the world' at the suggestion of his neighbour George Bernard Shaw, and gave this title to his book recounting the fate of the 1910-13 expedition.
