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.
Captain Scott and two of his remaining companions, died in their tent on their return, 11 miles from One Ton Depot.
Sir Robert Falcon Scott died on Antarctica in March of 1912, and did not return.
Yes.
he traveled to Antarctic but on the way back he died.
Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his polar team all perished on their return trek from the South Pole.
Robert Falcon Scott never finished his mission: he died on his way back to the base camp at Hut Point.
Robert Falcon Scott died on March 29, 1912, while returning from the South Pole expedition. His team faced extreme weather conditions and food shortages on their journey back, leading to their unfortunate deaths.
Well it was two years before he died in a blizzard on the way back to the hut!
Robert Falcon Scott had a total of 13 dogs during his ill-fated Antarctic expedition from 1910 to 1913. These dogs were primarily Siberian Huskies and were used for transportation and hauling sledges. Unfortunately, only a few of the dogs survived the harsh conditions of the expedition, and none of them made it back to civilization after Scott's team perished on their return journey.
The Bad Luck Theory is now in vogue. No doubt it will swing back to the Bad Management Theory again.
Scott and his team died on the return trip from the South Pole in Antarctica, where they had been attempting to be the first to reach the pole. (Norwegian team led by Amundsen's team arrived a month before Scott's.) The Scott group ran out of food and oil on the way back to their base at Cape Evans, and were hampered from reaching supplies by bad weather closing in. Scott was the last member of the expedition to die only 11 miles from the One Ton Depot. It is assumed that the cause would be a combination of vitamin deficiency, starvation, hypoglycemia and hypothermia
No, Captain Scott perished in Antarctica.
