Robert Falcon Scott, CVO (1868-1912) was a Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic, 1916. Scotts final expedition left London on 1 June 1910 bound for the South Pole. They reached the Pole on 17 January 1912, only to find that the Norwegian expedition under Amundsen had beaten them to their objective by a month. Delayed by blizzards, and running out of supplies, Scott and his team died at the end of March. Their bodies and diaries were found eight months later.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the determined and adventurous spirit of Robert Falcon Scott, a renowned Royal Navy officer and explorer. Taken in 1916, it showcases Scott's unwavering determination to conquer the uncharted territories of the Antarctic. Scott led two daring expeditions to this icy continent, with his final one commencing on 1 June 1910 from London. His ultimate goal was to reach the South Pole, but upon their arrival on 17 January 1912, they were met with heart-wrenching disappointment. The Norwegian expedition under Amundsen had triumphed over them by reaching the Pole a month earlier. Tragically, beset by blizzards and dwindling supplies, Scott and his team perished at the end of March that same year. Their bodies and diaries were discovered eight months later, immortalizing their brave yet ill-fated journey. In this photograph from John Player & Sons' Polar Exploration series in 1916, we see Captain Scott dressed for battle against nature's harshest elements. His attire reflects both practicality and British elegance as he dons a heavy coat fit for an Arctic leader. This image serves as a poignant reminder of human ambition and resilience while also highlighting the risks inherent in exploration. Despite facing failure in their quest for glory at the South Pole, Captain Robert Falcon Scott remains an iconic figure whose legacy continues to inspire generations fascinated by adventure and discovery.
