The hut where Scott and his party stay throughout the winter months before their final push to the South Pole still exists today, and is a tourist attraction for those few who travel down to that part of the world. The intensely cold, dry air has preserved everything almost exactly as it was a century ago.
The temperatures recorded by Scott and his team on their ill-fated expedition remain to this day some of the lowest ever recorded.
Captain Scott's log and many of the personal effects of the explorers were loaned by The British Museum to add to the authenticity of this near-documentary.
At the time of his death on June 7, 2015, Christopher Lee (Bernard Day) was the last surviving cast member of the film.
Scott jokes that he will bring a penguin back from Antarctica for his son Peter (1909-1989) who became an eminent ornithologist and conservationist, and founded the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.
