Where was Robert Falcon Scott trying to get to?

Answer 1

Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott both explored Antarctica at the same time in 1911. Amundsen was aware of Scott's objective, but Scott was not aware that Amundsen was right behind him. Roald Amundsen reached the South Pole first on 14th of December, 1911. Amundsen reported that he saw no sign of Scott. Scott reached the South Pole on 17th of January, 1912, acknowledging in his diary that Amundsen had got there a month earlier. On their return trip, the last members of the Scott expedition were found dead by a relief party two years later in 1913.

Answer 2

Robert Falcon Scott was trying to reach the South Pole during his ill-fated expedition in 1911-1912. He and his team ultimately reached the pole, only to find that they had been beaten by Roald Amundsen's Norwegian team. Tragically, Scott and his companions perished on the return journey.
