About this listen

Scott’s Doomed Terra Nova Expedition - In 1910, Captain Robert Falcon Scott led the British Antarctic Expedition, better known as the Terra Nova Expedition, determined to be the first to reach the South Pole. What began with high hopes and scientific goals soon collapsed into one of the most tragic stories in survival history.Battling storms, starvation, frostbite, and exhaustion, Scott and his men pushed farther into Antarctica than they should have — only to discover Roald Amundsen had beaten them to the Pole. The return journey became a slow-motion catastrophe. Edgar Evans fell, Lawrence Oates sacrificed himself, and Scott’s final diary plea still echoes through history: “For God’s sake look after our people."If you enjoy survival history, mysteries, and true accounts of people pushed beyond their limits, subscribe for weekly episodes.🔔 Subscribe for more real survival stories and historical mysteries.This video includes paid stock, public domain, or Creative Commons content used under fair dealing or fair use.
