Norman Vaughan who accompanied Byrd as the dog trainer and driver claims in his book, "With Byrd at the Bottom of the World," that Scott did not understand the importance of dogs to an expedition.

It amazes me that these men were able to survive at all, for years on end, with primitive equipment, on raw courage.

Yes and no. I think they were more than a little insane to put themselves in that position. Very tragic.

They had no dogs? Did they walk? Poor ba*tards.
