Not sure if this is the right section as its more of a daily blog that I have been following about Captain Scott's activities from his journey 1910/11.I kind of like the history around it.

"The 'Scott's Last Expedition' blog is a chance to relive the daily events of the Terra Nova Expedition, as recorded by Robert Falcon Scott in his famous journal. By republishing the entries as a daily blog, we hope to give the reader new insights into the scale and scope of Scott's experience.

Dividing the text into daily blog entries - combined with a twitter account and RSS feed - and linking to the famous photographs held in the Scott Polar Research Institute, means that the latest communication technology will add an extra dimension to a well known text: the dimension of time. We will follow the expedition's progress day by day, over many months, beginning with its departure from New Zealand, and ending with its tragic and heroic conclusion."

You might want to use a little info from Susan Soloman's book on the role of the weather on the expedition--she did a remarkable job on book (much as she contributed to data on the Ozone Hole event). She is an interesting person as well.
