Polar Exploration

scott made it to the south pole on January 17, 1912

William Baffin, an English navigator and explorer, is believed to have died in 1622 from wounds sustained during a naval battle with French ships near the coast of Greenland. His exact cause of death is uncertain, but it is widely accepted that he died from injuries sustained during the battle.

Richard E. Byrd Jr. attended Shenandoah Valley Academy in Virginia as a child.

Yes, Robert Falcon Scott was considered brave for leading expeditions to the Antarctic, including the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole in 1912. Despite facing harsh conditions and ultimately perishing on his return journey, his determination and courage in the face of adversity were widely admired.

I take it you are asking about airplane landings.

On Oct. 31, 1956, a U.S. Navy R4D airplane that had been christened Que Sera Sera, and piloted by Lt. Cmdr. Conrad C. 'Gus' Shinn, landed at the South Pole, becoming the first to land there.

he lead an expedition to find a way through the north west passage none returned later graves and were found the anser they came up with was food poisoning because this was the first expedition to take tinned food also signs of cannibalism were discovered on bones they got permission to exhume abody of one of the sailors and because of the thermafrost his body was still intact so they were able to take samples and return the in its original state i have seen the photos and they are truly remarkable

he was the first man to reach furthest south he became very famous wrote a very popular book about it and gave his country glory (Brittan), until another country beat his record. After that Shackleton set out another expedition to be the first one to cross the Antarctic, and to come back with each of his crew members alive. he did not cross the Antarctic but everyone survived.

for more info read ship wreck at the bottom of the world, i reccomand it its a very good book, I hate reading but I actually enjoyed reading it.

Shackleton's expedition to Antarctica in 1914-1917 included supplies such as sled dogs, sledges, clothing, instruments, tents, food, and communication devices. They also brought boats, navigational tools, medical supplies, and a variety of other equipment needed for survival in the harsh Antarctic conditions.

Sir Ernest Shackleton is best known for leading the ill-fated British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1917), in which his ship, the Endurance, was trapped and eventually crushed by ice, leaving Shackleton and his crew stranded on the Antarctic ice. Despite facing extreme conditions and incredible odds, Shackleton successfully led all members of his expedition to safety, making it one of the greatest survival stories in history.

Captain Robert Falcon Scott was a Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the Discovery Expedition, 1901-04, and the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition, 1910-13. He was one of the first explorer to travel to the artic. His writings about the artic has been verified by modern expeditions and turned to be true.

Scott raced Roald Amunsden, Amunsden got to the South Pole first.

Vitus Bering died of scurvy on December 19, 1741 during an expedition to explore the Russian Far East. His death occurred on Bering Island (part of the Commander Islands), where he and his crew were stranded after their ship was shipwrecked during a storm.

Sir Hubert Wilkins was an Australian polar explorer, aviator, and photographer. He is known for his numerous expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic regions, as well as for being the first person to fly over both polar regions. Wilkins made significant contributions to the field of exploration and photography during the early 20th century.

The first man to reach the north pole was Robert Peary in 1909. He made it there with his employee Matthew Henson and their Inuit guides. Peary's claim was disputed when he returned home but as of today he is recognized as the first man to reach the north pole.

Peary's claim to have reached the North Pole is very widely doubted nowadays. Mainly due to lack of evidence in his omission to produce records of observed data for steering: for the direction (variation) of the compass, and for his longitudinal position at any time

Robert Falcon Scott CVO (6 June 1868 - 29 March 1912) was an English Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the Discovery Expedition and the Terra Nova Expedition, during which Captain Scott died.

Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, CVO, OBE (15 February 1874 - 5 January 1922) was an Anglo-Irish explorer who was one of the principal figures of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.

I contacted the Scott Polar Research Institute, Thomas H Manning Polar Archives as there was some doubt over the number of sisters Scott had. Some sites on the web state 2, some 3, others 4. The answer they gave me is 4 sisters, one brother. They are Ettie / Rose / Grace / Archie and Katherine.

Sir Ernest Shackleton achieved renown for his leadership in the Endurance expedition, where he successfully rescued all of his crew after their ship became trapped in ice in the Antarctic. His leadership, courage, and determination in the face of adversity have made him a legendary figure in the history of exploration.

Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer, beat Robert Falcon Scott in the race to the South Pole in 1912. Amundsen and his team arrived at the pole on December 14, 1911, while Scott's team reached it on January 17, 1912, only to discover they had been beaten.

Captain Robert Falcon Scott was an Antarctic explorer who died at the age of 43 on his return journey from the South Pole in March 1912.

On his first journey -- 1901-1904, the team only reached 89 degrees S, one degree short of the South Pole So he led another expedition to stand at the South Pole. From a distance of about 3 km away he saw a Norwegian flag: he must of been heart broken.

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.

Sir Ernest Shackleton's most famous Antarctic expedition was the Endurance expedition in 1914-1917. Shackleton did not reach the South Pole during this expedition, but he made heroic efforts to save his crew after their ship was crushed in the ice.

Both Amundsen's team and Scott's team left their native countries in 1910. Amundsen left on June 3, 1910 and Scott left on June 16, 1910.

Amundsen's published intent was to sail to the North Pole instead. While underway, Amundsen declared that he was 'proceeding Antarctic.'

Scott got to the Antarctic on January 4, 1911, and Amundsen got the the Antarctic on January 14th, 1911.

Amundsen's expedition began on October 20, 1911, and Scott's Expedition began on November 1, 1911.

It is unclear, then, which was the second group.

Robert Falcon Scott took supplies such as food, fuel, tents, clothing, sledges, and communication equipment for his journey to the South Pole. He also brought a team of experienced explorers, scientists, and expedition members to support him.

This is a heavily debated question, but the likely answer is no. He was unlucky on several occasions, but most of his failings cannot be chalked down to his foolishness when considered in Edwardian terms (the time when was Scott exploring the Antarctic).

It must be remembered that he was chosen to lead two national expeditions, which is a huge responsibility and honour, especially in those days.
