Scott's crew came from at least six different countries. At the time of the Terra Nova expedition, Ireland was still part of Britain, so the separate countries represented amongst Scott's crew were Britain, Australia, Norway, Canada, Russia, and Ukraine.
The vast majority of the crew were British, and the majority of them came from England. However, there were four Irishmen (Tom Crean, Patrick Keohane, Robert Forde, and the dog driver Cecil Meares) and a Welshman (Edgar Evans).
The crew also included a Russian dog handler (Dmitri Gerof), a Ukrainian groom (Anton Omelchenko), a Canadian physicist (Charles Wright), a Norwegian ski instructor (Tryggve Gran), and two Australians (T. Griffith Taylor, the senior geologist, and Frank Debenham, another geologist).
Scott died at the age of 43 when he was in the Antarctic (hence Scott of the Antarctic). He brought along four crew members to reach the South Pole first but failed. On the way back a crew member (I think he was called Lawrence Oates) knew he was dying and they would not make it with him so he said the famous line "I am just going out, I may be some time" and killed himself. But they all died anyway.
Some of the crew members on Shackleton's Discovery expedition included Ernest Shackleton, Frank Wild, and Tom Crean.

Robert Falcon Scott CVO (6 June 1868 - 29 March 1912) was an English Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the Discovery Expedition and the Terra Nova Expedition, during which Captain Scott died. Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, CVO, OBE (15 February 1874 - 5 January 1922) was an Anglo-Irish explorer who was one of the principal figures of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.
Captain Scott and his crew sailed from England to Antarctica, and from their base near Mt Erebus, the team trekked -- man-hauling sledges laden with supplies -- across the ice fields to the South Pole.
That's a first. Haven't heard that one before. Scott has been accused of many things, but cannibalism definitely is not one of them.

6 menAnother AnswerThe total size of the Terra Nova crew was 66 men.
Robert Scott and his polar exploration team were forced to euthanize their sled dogs due to a shortage of supplies during their 1911-1912 expedition to the South Pole. The dogs were crucial for transportation in the harsh Antarctic conditions, and sacrificing them was deemed necessary for the survival of the human team members.

The Terra Nova was an Antarctic expedition ship that was part of Robert Falcon Scott's British Antarctic Expedition from 1910 to 1913. The crew consisted of 25 members, including notable figures like Scott himself, geologist Edward Wilson, and zoologist Ernest Shackleton. They undertook significant scientific research and exploration, but the expedition is most famously known for its tragic ending when Scott and several crew members perished on the return journey from the South Pole. The crew's dedication to exploration and science is remembered in the annals of polar history.

Henry Hudson was set adrift with some of his crew after a mutiny.
The members of his crew who found their bodies report that Scott had apparently thrown off his deer-skin bag and all the clothes from his chest, so although fully clothed, he apparently prefered to sucumb to hypothermia.
