Best Answer

Captain Scott and his team, during both expeditions, trekked toward the South Pole. On the second expedition, they reached the pole.

His team collected geology samples, took temperature readings, measured sunrise-sunset times, logged wind speeds, and so forth, to explore the foreign and exotic environment of Antarctica.

Robert Scott was a British explorer who led an expedition to Antarctica in 1911-1912. He attempted to be the first to reach the South Pole but was beaten by Roald Amundsen. Tragically, Scott and his team perished on the return journey in 1912.
