Robert Falcon Scott led expeditions to Antarctica primarily to explore the region and conduct scientific research. His most famous expedition, the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913), aimed to be the first to reach the South Pole. Additionally, Scott sought to gather valuable data on the area's geology, Biology, and meteorology, contributing to the broader understanding of the Antarctic environment. His journey ultimately ended in tragedy, but it remains a significant part of Antarctic exploration history.
