Captain Robert Falcon Scott "Had we lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale."

Robert Falcon Scott was born in Plymouth on 6th June 1868 Scott joined his first sea-going ship in 1893 when he was only 13! Kathleen married Captain Robert Scott on 2 September 1908, and a year later gave birth to their son Peter, who became famous in broadcasting.

The expedition had quite a lot of bad luck but in the beginning of 1912 they were 200 metres away from the Pole. Captain Scott set out on the final leg of the journey with 4 colleagues : Oates, Wilson, Bowers and Evans. Scott carried on serving in the Royal Navy until in 1901 he sailed to the Antarctic in the ship Discovery. His party returned two years later, no one ever having reached further South. Then again he travelled to the Antarctic in 1910 this time hoping to be the first to reach the South Pole.

They finally reached the Pole on the 18th of January but they found out that they had been beaten by an explorer called Amundsen. Disappointed they turned back, but they were beaten by the blizzards and died from starvation and exposure to low temperatures; many people believed that this was because their clothes didn't offer much protection.

The bodies of Scott and his colleagues were found eight months later by a search party, which also found some notebooks, diaries and letters describing the brave events. Even though he failed to reach the South Pole first, important scientific work was done on his expeditions.

The Discovery

Survival and Safety Precautions "Great God! This is an awful place!" - R.F. Scott (1911) Weather conditions in Antarctica are the harshest in the world. Imagine wind chills that freeze exposed skin in seconds, blizzards that reduce visibility to a few feet, months of darkness, and seemingly endless expanses of featureless snow and ice. For the early explorers and expeditioners, survival in Antarctica meant a constant struggle against the elements, a struggle which resulted in many paying the ultimate cost.
