Scott discovering the Norwegians' tent at the South Pole

Captain Scott discovering the Norwegians beat him to the South Pole, 1911

Because it was FREEZING yesterday and it is FREEZING today, and I will probably be too busy frantically thawing myself under the electric blanket to post anything useful, here is a 101-year-old photo of about the only person who was ever colder than  you and I are right now.

For those of you who didn’t pay attention in history class, this is Robert Falcon Scott.  He not only got beaten in the race to the South Pole, but perished horribly along with all his companions pictured here on the way back, from starvation and cold.
