SOUTH POLE CAPTAIN ROBERT FALCON SCOTT TERRA NOVA EXPEDITION
Captain Robert Falcon Scott, CVO, RN (6 June 1868  29 March 1912) was a British
Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the
Discovery Expedition (19011904) and the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition (19101913)
. On the first expedition, he set a new southern record by marching to latitude 82and
discovered the Polar (Antarctic) Plateau, on which the South Pole is located. On the second
venture, Scott led a party of five which reached the South Pole on 17 January 1912, less
than five weeks after Roald Amundsen's Norwegian expedition. On their return journey,
Scott's party discovered plant fossils, proving Antarctica was once forested and joined to
other continents. A planned meeting with supporting dog teams from the base camp failed
, despite Scott's written instructions, and at a distance of 150 miles from their base camp
and 11 miles from the next depot, Scott and his companions perished.
