Why did Robert Falcon Scott choose to explore the South Pole not the North Pole?

Scott, the explorer, wanted to bring glory to England. The current news at the time was that the North Pole had already been 'conquered' -- reportedly by Cook in 1908 and Peary in 1909. Scott had been to Antarctica in the Discovery Expedition which left England in 1901. In 1910, he sailed again for Antarctica, and his 'conquest' of the South Pole.
