Polar Regions
Famous last words...
Published February 2007 "I'm just going outside and may be some time." The famous last words of Captain Oates (pictures here) as recorded by Robert Falcon Scott, were uttered shortly before he left his tent during a blizzard in 1912. He died on his 32nd birthday; his body has never been found.
