There, he taught mountaineer-

‘‘Two years later, he was of-

related.. That’s where he met up
with Robert Swan and Roger
Mear, the other two Antarctica
expedition members.

Robert Scott’s fatal at-—

. 7 polar ice € cap...

land to the South Pole.

“It’s all still. there,’’. John
said. ‘‘Food and all. It’s a bit of
a national shrine.’’

The Scottish explorer and his
four-man party-were the second
group of adventurers seeking
the South Pole. They were beat
to the Pole by a Norwegian
group led by Roald Amundsen
which found the southernmost
mark a few. months earlier.
Scott.and his group died on the
return trip in 1912.

And while. Scott’s group and
the Norwegians had the use of
dog teams and ponies, the 1985
expedition walked and skied the
entire ‘distance. ‘‘They each
pulled a 300-pound | sleigh,’’
John said. ‘‘The technical term
is man-hauling,’’ he added with
a laugh.

Seventy-one days later, they
stuck British. and Canadian
flags into the deep snow... —

And once the brouhaha of his
return quietens, the Woods
hope to spend a quiet. holiday

with their entire family in their.

waterfront home. ‘‘It’s .been
five. years since we spent. a
Christmas together,’’ John
said. ‘‘And the last time we saw
Gary was in September, 1984.”’

‘“We’re looking for a Butter-
ball penguin,’’ he joked.

But for. Diane, motherhood
‘has its trials. She’s . worried

- about the dangerous plane trip,
but has confidence in Gareth’s.

renowed pilot, Giles Kershaw, a
legendary airman with many
years experience flying «in. the

_ Arctic and Antarctic.

Diane _ remains. optimistic.
‘But I just don’t know. how
he’s going to take. all - this
publicity,’’ she shakes her head.

““FHe’s: really: very quiet and .

‘doesn’t go for all this.’”
