The Visitors Book/
Lat 79º.40.0’S Long 169º.23.0’E
These are the coordinates that marked the final resting place of Captain Robert Falcon Scott.
They were the last entry in Kinsey’s Visitors Book.
What followed was silence.
Until now.
Welcome to the next chapter.
What is The Visitors’ Book?
The Visitors Book belonged to Sir Joseph Kinsey, the Christchurch patron of Antarctic exploration and close confidant of Captain Robert Falcon Scott. In its pages, explorers, scientists, and adventurers signed their names beside the fire in Kinsey’s Den.
The final entry, written after Scott’s death, records the coordinates of his final resting place—Lat 79º.40.0’S, Long 169º.23.0’E—sent to Kinsey by telegram.
After that, the book fell silent.
Its remaining pages, untouched for over a century, have now resurfaced—inviting a new generation to leave their mark in light and story.
