Captain Scott and his remaining team mates were significantly malnourished, according to some estimates, having man hauled for months consuming just over 3,000 calories a day. Man hauling requires about 6,000 calories a day in order to sustain the humans involved.
As well, the three men were pinned by weather into their tent for days with no additional access to food. In sub-zero weather and in blizzard conditions, their bodies were not well insulated enough to survive hypothermia, even given the deerskin bags and sturdy wool and canvas clothing and bedding in which their bodies were found.
