It was mainly a scientific venture to chart and explore the unknown Antarctic landscape and to study wild life there. It was also to bring glory to Britain by being the first people to reach the South Pole. When asked Scott said that the scientific study was more important than reaching the pole, however, Scott and his crew knew that they would only be widely recognized and praised if they got there first.
