/KOOC-0/9/KOOC-0/0 June/KOOC-0/day, robert scott led an expedition to leave England and launch a sprint to the South Pole. At that time, Norwegian Roald Amundsen also led another Antarctic expedition. Results Amundsen 19 1 1 year1February 14 arrived earlier than us, and Scott19 12 18 arrived, one behind Amundsen. Unfortunately, on the way back, the Antarctic cold weather came early, and Scott's team was understaffed and hungry. They struggled in the cold wind for more than two months, and finally they were buried in the snow because of exhaustion. [2] (The other four are F Scott, Captain herry bowers, Dr Edward Wilson, Sergeant edgar evans and Captain lawrence oates. ) When Scott and two others died, they were only 20 kilometers away from the nearest supply station. Their bodies and diaries were not found until six months later. They died with more than ten kilograms of rock specimens, and he was later knighted by the king of England. [1] Although they went through hardships, they did not discard the collected 17kg plant fossils and mineral samples, which made great contributions to the later Antarctic geology. Diaries and photos of their expeditions are also precious historical materials for Antarctic scientific research. [3]
The six surviving members are a scientific expedition named "Northern Team" in the expedition, led by Victor Campbell. The members are Dr. Murray Leivick, geologist Raymond priestley, navy sergeant George Albert and Frank Browning, and sailor Harry Dixon.
The research team observed Adelie penguins in Antarctica for several months. After the study was completed, due to the surrounding sea ice, terranova could not meet them as planned. In order to survive, Dr. Leivick and five other team members made their own way. In order to defend against snow, they temporarily dug an ice cave-what Dr. Leivick called a "snow house" for heating; Due to the lack of food reserves, they feed on goose and whale fat.
Six explorers spent the Antarctic winter, set out on September 30th of 19 12, and walked 200 miles (about 322km) for five weeks, and arrived at Evans port on October 7th of 165438/kloc-0. [2]
Reasons for failure: bad weather; Instead of polar dogs, Siberian ponies and manpower are used to transport materials; Did not use the experience of polar people.
