Notebook from Scott expedition found

(ANSA) - Sydney, October 23 - A notebook from the doomed 1912 expedition to the South Pole led by British explorer Robert Falcon Scott has been found, the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust announced. The 1911 notebook belonging to surgeon and zoologist George Murray Levick emerged at the Scott expedition's Terra Nova hut in Antarctica during a summer melt of 2013. The notebook had been trapped in the ice for more than a century. The heritage trust said each page of the notebook was conserved before being reassembled and sewn back together. Scott and his party reached the South Pole on January 17, 1912 only to find that Norwegian rival Roald Amundsen had got there a month prior. Scott and his companions died of exhaustion, hunger and extreme cold during their return to base camp. Levick was in a separate party that remained north to make scientific observations. He survived the expedition and died in 1956.
