Scott of the Antarctic
Outside the Norwegian Church in Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, Wales, United kingdom is this rather chilly looking Memorial to the Antartic explorer, Erected in memory of Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his companions who died whilst trying to reach the South Pole in 1912 and whose last ill-fated expedition set sail from Cardiff. The sculpture - made up of thousands of tiny mosaic pieces - was designed by Cardiff-based sculptor Jonathon Williams and shows Scott man-hauling towards the pole with the faces of his team trapped in the ice.
