Day 76, Thursday, January 19th, 2017, Deception Island.

On January 17, 1912, Scott reached the South Pole with Oates, Wilson, Bowers and Evans. All died on the return journey. “The rescue team who discovered Scott’s body also found a half empty bottle of Sherry “El Rey”, from Gonzalez Byass in Spain. Once this news reached the group of Spanish vintners, as a tribute to their late client Scott, they sealed the barrel from where that bottle came from. Sixty six years later, on the occasion of the second scientific Spanish campaign to Antarctica, they reopened the barrel”.
