During his homeward voyage to return from the South
During his homeward voyage to return from the South Pole in 1912, Captain Robert Scott met his very unfortunate demise. He and his fellow travelers perished due to the extremely cold temperatures as well as the lack of food. Scott showed great courage facing his unfortunate demise, following the extreme disappointment at losing the race to the South Pole, and this increased his popularity, and branded him a national hero. Detailed resources on antarctic cruises are located there.
After many years of study, we can now understand the vast dangers that explorers faced while trekking the vast Antarctic continent. Antarctica is a place where temperatures dip to minus 90 degrees Celsius during the winter months, and experiences wind speeds that can average 67 kilometres an hour. Unfortunately, Captain Scott saw the same conditions without knowing what to expect beforehand.
