Great Adventurers: Robert Falcon Scott

Robert Falcon Scott's doomed attempt to be first to the South Pole became a race against his Norwegian rival Roald Amundsen. When Scott and his exhausted men arrived at the pole, Amundsen's flag was already in place, and before Scott and his team lay only starvation and death. Handpicked at the early age of nineteen as a man suitable to lead a British polar exploration, on his fateful second journey, Scott made decisions which involved great risk, and these are still shrouded in controversy today.
