In 1989-90, American Will Steger led the International Trans-Antarctic Expedition of six men with the goal of walking across Antarctica. They began their trek in July on the Antarctic Peninsula, reached the South Pole during the Christmas holiday season, and exited from Mirny in April. They logged 3,741 miles on this expedition.
Scott sailed twice to Antarctica, once in 1901 and again in 1910.
The New Zealand base established on Antarctica is near Captain Scott's hut at Hut Point. New Zealand is part of the Commonwealth, and Captain Scott is a Commonwealth hero. Captain Scott left Christchurch, New Zealand to sail south on both of his Antarctic expeditions. Naming Scott Base in his honour makes perfect sense.
