The 1910 Terra Nova Expedition. The 1910 Terra Nova Expedition. The Terra Nova Expedition, officially the British Antarctic Expedition, was led by Robert Falcon Scott with the objective of being the first to reach the geographical South Pole. Scott and four companions attained the pole on 17 January 1912, where they found that a Norwegian team led by Roald Amundsen had preceded them by 33 days. Scott s entire party died on the return journey from the pole; some of their bodies, journals, and photographs were discovered by a search party eight months later Copyright: xPhoto12 AnnxRonanxPicturexLibraryx ARP18A01321
Sir Robert Falcon Scott (Geboren am 6. Juni 1868 in Devonport bei Plymouth; Starb am 29. März 1912 in der Antarktis), britischer Marineoffizier und Polarforscher. Er wurde durch seinen Wettlauf um die Ersterreichung des Südpols gegen Roald Amundsen berühmt; nur knapp von diesem geschlagen, kam Scott gemeinsam mit seinen Begleitern während des Rückmarsches ins Basislager ums Leben. Photo: Scott at the Pole, January 1912, a month after Roald Amundsen. CAT 45 Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) was a Royal Naval officer and Antarctic explorer. In the so-called Race to the South Pole Scott came second, behind the Norwegian Roald Amundsen; he and his four companions died whilst trying to return to their base. Scott has become the most famous, and tragic, hero of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Überschrift: Sir Robert Falcon Sc UnitedArchives00684175

Scott s last letter from the Antarctic, 1912. Scott s last letter was addressed to his friend JM Barrie, the author of Peter Pan. Scott begins with typical understatement: We are pegging out in a very comfortless spot . He goes on to express his sadness that there had been some cooling in their frendship, and assures Barrie of his continued affection. Scott and his party died on the return from the South Pole, having discovered that Amundsen had beaten them to the Pole three days earlier. Scott s last letter from the Antarctic, 1912.
