Scott wanted to reach the South Pole to achieve national pride for Britain and to assert its dominance in polar exploration. He aimed to be the first to reach the pole, which was a significant scientific and geographical milestone at the time. Additionally, Scott sought to advance scientific knowledge through exploration and research in the Antarctic region. The expedition was driven by both personal ambition and a sense of duty to contribute to the spirit of discovery.
Because he want to make the british proud
Captain Scott aimed to reach the South Pole first primarily to achieve national pride for Britain and assert its scientific and exploratory prowess. He was motivated by the spirit of competition, particularly against Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, who was also racing to the Pole. Additionally, Scott sought to conduct scientific research and gather valuable data about the Antarctic region, which would contribute to broader scientific knowledge. Ultimately, reaching the South Pole first was both a personal ambition and a national goal.
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.
The notable expedition to the South Pole in 1912 was led by British explorer Robert Falcon Scott. Members of his team included Edward Wilson, Henry Bowers, Lawrence Oates, and Edgar Evans, who tragically lost their lives on the return journey.
You probably mean our Earth. The diameter d of Earth from North Pole to South Pole is 12,713.54 kilometers (7,899.83 miles), but through the equator it is 12,756.32 kilometers (7,926.41 miles). This difference, 42.78 kilometers (26.58 miles), is only 1/298 the diameter of Earth. Thus the Earth is 42.78 kilometers or 25 miles wider than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator. This is only 0.3 percent, too small to be seen visually. To calculate the circumference C use the formula: C = pi times d. pi = 3.141592654...

Scott had no documented ambitions to explore the Arctic; his quest was for the South Pole in Antarctica.
The names you want are Roald Amundsen from Norway, and Sir Robert Falcon Scott from England.
You can get there by plane, and you would keep going south to roughly the center of the antarctic.

The Equator is 0 degrees and the South Pole is 90 degrees S: so the answer you want is 90 degrees of latitude.
Easy. When you want to travel ANYWHERE from the North Pole, you will be going south.
Captain Scott was particular that as many organizations as possible be represented by his team members in their Southern Journey.Captain Scott and Lt Evans were both of the British Royal Navy. Lieutenant Henry Robertson Bowers, represented the Royal Indian Marines, Dr Wilson was a British scientist and Army Captain Laurence Oates was from the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons. All were natural-born British subjects.
