Extract

In the popular science journal Nauka i Zhizn' [Science and Life], No 10,1969, there is an article by N. Bolotnikov on the two Russians who took part in Scott's last expedition, Anton Omel'chenko, stable-man, and Dmitriy “Geroff”, dog-driver, giving information on their lives before and after the expedition. Both these men are spoken of very warmly in Scott's journal. They appear to have been excellent fellows, who not only worked hard and devotedly with their respective charges, but also got along very well with their British messmates, and it is interesting to know a little more about them.
