They've been found, 99 years later.
From the piece on 3 News New Zealand...
A 99-year-old manuscript has been discovered detailing captain Robert Falcon Scott’s plans to be the first to reach the South Pole.
The handwritten notes, acquired by Canterbury Museum, are a lecture Mr Scott gave to his men on the ice, setting out the journey to the pole.
Hand bound in royal blue, captain Robert Scott’s plans for his southern journey to the pole were thought to have been lost forever.
“It was really amazing the first time I got to read it and see and feel the paper and you can smell the tobacco smoke,” manuscript curator Joanna Condon says.
Mr Scott loved his pipe and loved to write inside his hut at Antarctica.
