      It's obvious that the physical surroundings doesn't make the trip back home easier. In page 62, line 5 Scott tells about freezing temperatures down to 35 degrees. "No human being could face it, and we are worn out nearly". This statement says much too, about their mental and physical conditions. Crises emerge clearly. In his next statement he claims: "My right foot has gone nearly all the toes - two days ago I was proud possessor of best feet." Pain simply feels lesser when winning. It was such a big disappointment for the men so it is evidently that their mental situation changes.
