The team that found Captain Scott with his companions buried the tent with their bodies inside, in November of 1912.

Mother Nature subsequently covered the spot with ice crystals and as part of the Ross Ice Shelf, one can assume that their remains are either still there, or have been calved off in an iceberg and dropped into the sea bed.
