R. Scott joined the Royal Navy in 1880 and in 1897 became a first lieutenant. While commanding an Antarctic expedition on the ship «Discovery» (1901-1904), he proved to be a competent scientific investigator and leader and was promoted to captain upon his return to England.

On 15 June 1910 Scott embarked on a second Antarctic expedition on the ship «Terra Nova». Its aims were to study the Ross Sea area and reach the South Pole.

Equipped with motor sledges, ponies, and dogs, he and eleven others started overland for the pole from cape Evans on October 24, 1911. The motors soon broke down, the ponies had to be shot and the dog teams were sent back

On March 9 R.Scott wrote the final entry in his diary:«Every day we have been ready to start for our depot 11 miles away but outside the door of the tent it remains a scene of whirling drift…. We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker, of course. It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more.»
