What is the full name of Captain Lawrence the explorer who died in 1912 on his way back fron the north pole?

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 got there 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. The last members of the Scott expedition were found dead by a relief party two years later in 1913.

Answer 2

Captain Lawrence Edward Grace Oates, a British explorer, was a member of Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1912. He died during the return journey from the pole, famously saying "I am just going outside and may be some time" before walking into a blizzard to sacrifice himself for the rest of the team.

Answer 3

Lawrence Edward Grace Oates was the full name of that brave man.
