A bit about Scott, Robert Falcon ...

Captain Robert Falcon Scott (6 June 186829 March 1912) was a Royal Naval officer and Antarctic explorer. Having narrowly failed to be the first to reach the South Pole, beaten by Roald Amundsen and his party, Scott and his party died on the Ross Ice Shelf whilst trying to return to the safety of their base. Scott has become the most famous hero of the "heroic age" of Antarctic exploration.
