Das Opfer

About the show

At the South Pole in 1912, Scott, Wilson, Bowers, and Oates are the last survivors of the expedition. Oates’s frozen feet slow the others, but they refuse to abandon him. During a storm, Oates leaves the tent and walks into the snow to die. The penguin chorus first mocks him, then honors his self-sacrifice as the surviving explorers pay their respects.
