Robert's life was a bit of jigsaw, as shown !First he was born on the 6th of June 1868 Robert Falcon Scott. Summary.

He was a British Royal Navy officer and an experienced adventurer who led two famous expeditions to the Antarctic locales: the Discovery Expedition in 1901 to 1904 and the doomed Terra Nova Expedition in 1910 to 1913. On his first adventure into Antarctica, he set another southern record by discovering the Polar Plateau. On the second expedition, Scott gathered a party of five and managed to reach the South Pole on 17th January 1912, just to find out later that it was Roald Amundsen’s Norwegian team who reached the South Pole first. Fortunately on their return adventure, Scott’s team found plant fossils, providing evidence that Antarctica was once filled with plant life and joined to other continents. With an overall estimated distance of 150 miles from their base camp and 11 miles from the next stop, Robert and his crew passed away from lack of energy, food and heat.
