Did others have to recover these photos?
If memory serves, only the actual expedition members died, while the crew aboard the Terra Nova survived.
I seem to remember they found Scott's notes, as well as documentation, including photos (plates?) of them at Amundsen's abandoned tent when they found the bodies but can't find a source just now.
