The Fire on the Snow is a 1951 British radio drama that aired on the BBC.
It was based on the Australian verse drama The Fire on the Snow by Douglas Stewart about the Terra Nova Expedition to Antarctica by Robert Falcon Scott.
It was directed by Tyrone Guthrie and featured two movie stars, John Mills and Peter Finch.
[4] Tyrone Guthrie rarely produced for the BBC but was an admirer of the play and agreed to direct it.
It is the more thrilling that it has come from Australia, a continent which has not —as yet— made very many or very notable contributions to the art and literature bf the human race.
