Robert Falcon Scott was a British Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the Discovery Expedition (1901–1904) and the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition (1910–1913). During the latter, Scott led a party of five to reach the South Pole in January 1912, only to find that they had been preceded by the Norwegian expedition led by Roald Amundsen. On their return journey, Scott and his four comrades all died from a combination of exhaustion, hunger, and extreme cold.
