Scott's journey, specifically his ill-fated Antarctic expedition, differed significantly from Lewis and Clark's exploration of the American West in terms of purpose and environment. While Lewis and Clark aimed to map new territories and establish American presence after the Louisiana Purchase, Scott sought to reach the South Pole and conduct scientific research in extreme conditions. Additionally, Scott's expedition faced harsh weather and logistical challenges that ultimately led to tragedy, contrasting with Lewis and Clark's relatively successful return and contributions to American exploration. The two journeys reflect different historical contexts, motivations, and outcomes in exploration.

How many dogs did Robert falcon Scott have?

Robert Falcon Scott had a total of 13 dogs during his ill-fated Antarctic expedition from 1910 to 1913. These dogs were primarily Siberian Huskies and were used for transportation and hauling sledges. Unfortunately, only a few of the dogs survived the harsh conditions of the expedition, and none of them made it back to civilization after Scott's team perished on their return journey.


Did Robert Falcon Scott eat his dog on his trip to the South Pole?

Yes, Robert Falcon Scott and his team resorted to eating their sled dogs during their ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1912. This was a desperate measure to survive as they faced severe food shortages and harsh conditions on their journey.


Who died on Scott's 1912 expedition?

Robert Falcon Scott and four members of his team (Edward Wilson, Henry Bowers, Lawrence Oates, and Edgar Evans) died during the British Antarctic Expedition of 1912. They perished on their return journey from the South Pole due to a combination of harsh weather conditions, exhaustion, and lack of supplies.


Who was Scott's Antarctic companion?

That depends on what journey you are talking about. Ernest Shackleton and Edward Wilson accompanied him on his first Antarctic journey (when they left the ship and walked about 500 miles toward the South Pole). On his second journey, the four people who were with him at the very end (that made it to the South Pole and then died on the way back) were Edward Wilson, Henry Bowers, Lawrence Oates, and Edgar Evans. If, perhaps, you are referring to the guy that was in Antarctica at the same time and made it to the South Pole first, that was Roald Amundsen, but they weren't traveling together.


What are the names 3 different Antarctic explorers?

Sir Robert Falcon Scott, Rould Amundsen, Sir Douglas Mawson, to name a Brit, a Norwegian and an Australian.
