Probably the longest, best presented, historic marker you will ever come across. This fascinating marker displays Scott’s journey to the Antarctic, including the departure of Terra Nova from Cardiff on 15th June 1910, and the methods used to reach the pole. Historic words that Captain Oats spoke on 17th March 1912 "I am going outside, I may be some Time" & Captain Scott's last diary entry on 29th March" It seems a pity, but I don't think I can write more"
"When the British Antarctic Expedition departed from Cardiff on its final voyage in 1910 it created one of the greatest legends of adventure and heroism of the 20th Century. So it’s important that we continue the memory of Captain Scott and his comrades, and their association with the City of Cardiff, to encourage future generations to push boundaries and seize their sprit of adventure."
