Lawrence Oates died during the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition to Antarctica in 1912. He succumbed to severe frostbite and gangrene while stranded in a blizzard with his fellow explorers. Realizing that his condition endangered the survival of the team, he famously walked out of the tent into the storm, reportedly saying, "I am just going outside and may be some time," sacrificing himself for the others. His body was never recovered.
