Robert F. Scott

explorer United Kingdom

Robert F. Scott was a British naval officer and explorer, renowned for his expeditions to the Antarctic in the early 20th century. He led the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition from 1910 to 1913, aiming to be the first to reach the South Pole. Scott's team reached the pole on January 17, 1912, only to discover they had been beaten by Roald Amundsen's team. Tragically, Scott and his companions perished on their return journey, which has immortalized him as a figure of both ambition and tragedy in the annals of exploration history.
