How did explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott die?

Answer 1

Scott died on the return trip from the South Pole in Antarctica, where he had been attempting to be the first to reach the pole. His team were beaten by a month by the Norwegian team led by Amundsen. 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 and the cause would be a combination of vitamin deficiency, starvation, hypoglycaemia and hypothermia only 11 miles from the One Ton Depot.

Answer 2

Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his team died during their return journey from the South Pole in 1912 due to a combination of extreme cold, exhaustion, and lack of supplies. They were caught in a blizzard and succumbed to hypothermia and starvation.
