In 1910 the British Antarctic Expedition, led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott, led this fateful expedition that departed Wales in the SS Terra Nova for the South Pole.

"British explorer Robert Falcon Scott reached the South Pole during his ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition on 17 January 1912. It was his second attempt and 34 days after Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen got there first. On the return trip, Scott and his crew died from starvation and extreme temperatures."
