On this day in 1912: the frozen bodies of pioneering British explorer Captain Scott and his men were found on the Ross Ice Shelf. After an incredible 800-mile journey they were discovered just 11 miles from the nearest food depot.

The idea was to explore the part of Antarctica around the Ross Sea, discovered in 1841 by Sir James Clark Ross. Scott also wanted to find out more about the animals, weather and geology of the Antarctic.
