Comments
Robert Falcon Scott, born on June 6, 1868 near Plymouth and died on March 29, 1912 on the Ross Gap in Antarctica, was a Royal Navy officer and British polar explorer, considered one of the leading figures of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, for which he led two expeditions: the Discovery Expedition (1901-1904) and the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913). During the latter, Scott led a group of five to the South Pole on January 17, 1912, where they discovered that Roald Amundsen's Norwegian expedition had preceded them by four weeks. On the way back, they all died of exhaustion, hunger and cold (Source: www.wikipedia.org).
