Discovery left the Isle of Wight on 6 August 1901 and finally arrived in McMurdo Sound on 8 February 1902. With stops, then, about six months.
Robert Falcon Scott led the Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole and reached the pole on January 17, 1912. However, he discovered that a Norwegian team led by Roald Amundsen had beaten him to the pole by a month. Scott and his team tragically perished on their return journey.
