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.

Captain Scott and his team were prepared with foodstuffs and shelter, which they dragged with them as they trekked to the pole: this is called man-hauling. Their food included pemmican -- a 50/50 mix of lard and ground meat, biscuits, tea, sugar, and other tinned and dried food. Their shelter included a pyramid-shaped tent and deer-skin sleeping bags. Depots were laid in advance of their polar journey, with additional foodstuffs and cooking fuel. Their equipment was the most current for the time.

Robert Falcon Scott never finished his mission: he died on his way back to the base camp at Hut Point.

10 yearsAnother AnswerScott and his team spent a day or two at the South Pole, resting up for their return journey. After finding Amundsen's team's tent, flag and a letter indicating where Amundsen had camped for about a week in the area verifying their position, Scott had no reason to linger there.
Well it was two years before he died in a blizzard on the way back to the hut!
It took him two years and two days to reach the pole.
Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott both explored the South Pole at the same time in 1911. Amundsen was aware of Scott's objective, but Scott was not aware that Amundsen was right behind him. Roald Amundsen got there first on 14th of December, 1911. Amundsen reported that he saw no sign of Scott. Scott reached the South Pole on 17th of January, 1912, acknowledging in his diary that Amundsen had got there a month earlier. The last members of the Scott expedition was found dead by a relief party two years later in 1913.
The answer can only be conjecture, and it is that weather prevented the three remaining members of his expedition from getting to the depot -- for a long period, perhaps up to 10 days.

All explorers' ships were 'trapped in ice' during Antarctica's winter. The period was generally for weeks between about February and about November, depending on the location of the ship.
