( CNN ) -- Explorer Robert Falcon Scott died in 1912 while crossing Antarctica , but his story lives on in artifacts that continue to be discovered on the frozen continent at the bottom of the world . The most recent find : a century-old photographer 's notebook in the ice at one of Scott 's expedition bases in Antarctica . The notebook belonged to George Murray Levick , a surgeon and photographer who was part of Scott 's 1910-13 expedition . It contains pencil notes about photos he took in 1911 at Cape Adare . `` It 's an exciting find , '' said Nigel Watson , director of the Antarctic Heritage Trust . `` The notebook is a missing part of the official expedition record . After spending seven years conserving Scott 's last expedition building and collection , we are delighted to still be finding new artifacts . '' The notebook was found in January 2013 at another Scott camp , the Cape Evans base , after the summer snow melt around a building exposed it , said Paula Granger , communications manager for the trust . Notebook painstakingly conserved . After 100 years in the ice , the notebook 's binding had dissolved , and the pages were stuck together . The trust hired Aline Leclercq , a paper conservator , to separate and clean the pages , which were digitally recorded . The notebook was rebuilt and sewn back together using cover remnants , the trust said . The remarks in the notebook refer to photos now held by the Scott Polar Research Institute . `` You can marry up what he 's written down with the pictures , '' Granger said . Once the notebook was conserved , it was returned to Antarctica , Granger said . It 's one of 11,000 artifacts at Cape Evans . Scott died in March 1912 . Scott was a British explorer who became famous during what historians call the heroic age of Antarctic exploration . He arrived at the South Pole in January 1912 to discover that his rival , Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen , had beaten him to the spot by an estimated 33 days . Scott and several comrades died in March 1912 during the return journey . The trust said Levick was a member of a group of six men called the Northern Party , which spent the summer at Cape Adare but survived the 1912 winter in a snow cave before going to Cape Evans . In December , New Zealand 's Antarctic Heritage Trust reported finding 100-year-old negatives in one of Scott 's huts . The photos were taken during Ernest Shackleton 's 1914-17 Ross Sea Party , another failed exploration whose members were forced to live in Scott 's hut after their ship blew out to sea .
