In a mix of competition and bad luck, Scott's team discovered when they reached the South Pole that Norwegian Amundsen's team had reached that location before them. And, because of weather, Scott's team was confined to their tent on the return trek from the pole, where they all perished for lack of food. They were 11 miles from One Ton Depot.

What are facts about Robert Falcon Scott Give you a f answer?

Robert Falcon Scott was a British Royal Navy officer and explorer who led an ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1910-1913. He reached the pole on January 17, 1912, only to discover that he had been beaten by Roald Amundsen's Norwegian expedition. Tragically, Scott and his team perished on their return journey due to extreme weather conditions and lack of supplies.


Why did Robert Falcon Scott fail to return to the depot?

Journals found with the three last team members indicate that they were weathered into their tent for many days before they died, making it impossible for them to trek the last 10 miles to One Ton Depot.


Why did captain Robert Scott fail his first mission?

It's hard to assign the word 'fail' to the Discovery expedition, given all of its results. True, the team did not reach the South Pole -- due to illness, but they established a base hut and documented many scientific aspects of this, then unknown, world of Antarctica.


What were some of the difficulties Robert Falcon Scott faced on his journey?

Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his companions set out to 'achieve' the South Pole, by trekking from Cape Evans. They set off on 11 November 1911 in a caravan to accompany the final team -- which had not been chosen at departure time -- and to establish resupply depots along the way for four explorers. Even though the sun is up 24/7 now, the temperature and wind combine to force sub-freezing temperatures on all involved. The ponies began to fail, the dogs were not usefully employed, the mechanical equipment failed and so on 4 January 1912, Scott chose four companions to accompany him to the South Pole. The remainder of his team turned back. On 17 January 1912, Scott and his four companions reached 90 degrees South only to discover that Amundsen and his team had beat them by about five weeks. On the return journey, Scott lost two of his companions, one to a fall and probable concussion, another to frostbite and valor, then the three remaining explorers died in their tent during the last week of March 1912. The difficulties included the environment which is extreme, the wear and tear on human bodies of man-hauling sleds on fewer than the required number of calories for this work on a daily basis, and weather, which forced them to remain in their tent a mere 10 miles from One Ton Depot, where they all perished.


How did Apollo 4 fail?

Apollo 4 did not fail; it was the first unmanned test flight of the Apollo program and it was successful. Apollo 4 was launched on November 9, 1967, and it demonstrated the capabilities of the Saturn V rocket, the Command Module, and the reentry system.
