Apsley Cherry-Garrard
“Cherry” joined the Terra Nova Expedition at the age of 24, as Assistant Zoologist and “Adaptable Helper.” He participated in all the major sledging journeys, including the ghastly midwinter trek to Cape Crozier to collect penguin eggs which gave The Worst Journey in the World its title. After returning to Britain he served in the First World War. For the rest of his life, Cherry was a dedicated conservationist and historian of the Heroic Age of Polar Exploration.
