How did Robert Scott prepare for his expedition?

Answer 1

Dr Edward Wilson and Ernest Shackleton went with Robert Scott on his first expedition to Antarctica, Discovery Expedition.

Another Answer

Scott learned from his first expedition, the Discovery expedition, more about what was important to bring, plan, and execute in their efforts to be the first to step foot at the South Pole.

His second expedition, the Terra Nova expedition, was better planned and funded; he brought experienced and inexperienced people with him as his crew, and was careful to follow their plans...to a point.

Ultimately, he violated his plans and it cost him his life: he died on his return trip from the South Pole.

Answer 2

Robert Scott prepared for his expedition to the South Pole by gathering a team of experienced explorers, selecting appropriate equipment and supplies, and conducting thorough training exercises to improve their physical endurance and survival skills in harsh conditions. He also studied previous expeditions and consulted with experts to fine-tune his plan for success.
