Summary: | Description: Circular polished coloured granite mosaic in the form of a compass. From 'The Bay and other Artwalks': 'The symbolism suggests exploration to the farthest reaches of the globe, but also refers to the spiritual dimension of Scott's journey, ideas of humility before vast challenges; honour, vision and destiny. The epitaph, a quotation from Tennyson, which appears on a cross in Antarctica where Scott and his colleagues met their deaths, forms the centrepiece.' Additional Information: The paving mosaic commemorates Captain Scott's expedition to the South Pole, which sailed from Cardiff Dock on 15 June 1910 in the Terra Nova.
