The Fire on the Snow is a verse play by Douglas Stewart about the Terra Nova Expedition to Antarctica by Robert Falcon Scott. It premiered on ABC radio on 6 June 1941 to great acclaim.The original production was produced by Frank Clewlow and was to have starred Peter Finch as Scott but he joined the army only four days before broadcast so Frank Harvey replaced him. Clewlow decided to employ a female actor Ida Osbourne as narrator to contrast with the all-male cast.
