The Scott party reached the South Pole on January 17, 1912, where they found the marker flag, tent, and letters to Scott that had been left there by Roald Amundsen. Amundsen had reached the south pole over a month earlier, on December 14, 1911.
Once on the continent, which he reached by sailing ship, Scott trekked Antarctica on foot.
On his return from Antarctica, Robert Falcon Scott and his expedition team died after being caught in a blizzard. They had reached the South Pole in 1912, only to discover that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen's team had already been there. Scott's team faced harsh conditions during their return journey, leading to their tragic demise.
Roald Amundsen reached Antarctica first on December 14, 1911, becoming the first person to reach the South Pole. Robert Falcon Scott arrived about a month later on January 17, 1912, only to discover that Amundsen had beaten him to the pole.
In 1911, the Roald Amundsen (Norwegian explorer) beat the British explorer Robert F. Scott in the race to be the first who reached the South Pole (ie.the Antarctica).
Both expeditions were guided by the stars, using a sextant to find the latitude and longitude for their destination.
Robert Falcon Scott set out for Antarctica in 1901 and again in 1910.
Robert Falcon Scott did not cross Antarctica. They trekked from McMurdo Sound to the South Pole and died on their return. The march began 1 November 1911, and Scott died sometime during the last week of March 1912.
robert Falcon Scott left for Antarctica in 1901 and again in 1910.
Robert Scott was a British explorer who led an expedition to Antarctica in 1911-1912. He discovered the polar plateau and reached the South Pole on January 17, 1912, only to find that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten him there. Scott and his team tragically perished on their return journey.
Scott sailed to Antarctica twice, in 1901 and in 1910.
Robert Scott led an expedition to Antarctica in 1910-1913, known as the Terra Nova Expedition. Scott and his team reached the South Pole on January 17, 1912, only to find that they were beaten by Roald Amundsen's Norwegian team. Tragically, Scott and his companions perished during their return journey, succumbing to harsh weather conditions and starvation.
Robert Falcon Scott and his team reached Antarctica on January 4, 1902, during his first expedition known as the Discovery Expedition. They landed at McMurdo Sound, where they established a base for scientific research and exploration. This expedition laid the groundwork for future Antarctic exploration, including Scott's ill-fated journey to the South Pole in 1911.
