Polar Regions - wk 3 - day 5 - Robert Falcon Scott


Today I will be sharing Robert Falcon Scott and animals in Antarctica resources.



Robert Falcon Scott


Who was Robert Falcon Scott?

Robert Falcon Scott (June 6, 1868 - March 29, 1912) was a British naval officer and Antarctic explorer. Scott led two expeditions to the South Pole, and died on the disastrous second trip, along with his crew. His expedition was the second to reach the South Pole (1910-1912); Roald Amundsen led the first.

The routes to the South Pole taken by Scott (green) and Amundsen (red), 1911–1912.

  I have to admit, Antarctica is way cool! So cool, I wouldn't actually mind going as a tourist. Although, I don't know if I could handle the cold. Brrr....but it would be so neat to see those way big emperor penguins


Here the girls are showing how tall some emperor penguins can be.

We Learned How Antarctic animals stay warm in bone-chilling water.
We did the Blubber Glove experiment.
