Robert Falcon Scott, geboren am 6. Juni 1868 in Devonport bei Plymouth, England, und verstorben am 29. März 1912 in Ross-Schelfeis, Arktis war ein britischer Marineoffizier und Polarforscher. Er leitete die Discovery-Expedition (1901–1904) und die Terra-Nova-Expedition (1910–1913), zwei Forschungsreisen während des sogenannten Goldenen Zeitalters der Antarktisforschung. Er zählt zu den ersten zehn Menschen, die den geographischen Südpol erreichten.
Zunächst durchlief Scott eine Offizierslaufbahn in der Royal Navy. Als seine Karriere ins Stocken geraten war, ergriff er die Gelegenheit, das Kommando auf dem Forschungsschiff Discovery zu übernehmen. Nach eigenem Bekunden entsprang diese Entscheidung seinem persönlichen Ehrgeiz und nicht einer besonderen Vorliebe für die Polarforschung. Während der von ihm geleiteten Discovery-Expedition unternahm er zwischen November 1902 und Februar 1903 gemeinsam mit Edward Wilson und Ernest Shackleton einen Vorstoß Richtung Südpol, bei dem die drei Männer mit dem Erreichen der geographischen Breite von 82° 17′ S einen neuen Südrekord aufstellten. Scotts Entscheidung nach der Rückkehr ins Basislager, den seiner Ansicht nach dienstuntauglichen Shackleton entgegen dessen Willen nach Hause zu schicken, gab Anlass zu einer noch heute geführten Diskussion über eine tiefe Rivalität beider Polarforscher.
Nachdem Shackleton mit seinem eigenen Versuch, während der Nimrod-Expedition (1907–1909) den Südpol zu erreichen, knapp gescheitert war, unternahm Scott anlässlich der Terra-Nova-Expedition einen neuerlichen Anlauf. Dieser entwickelte sich zu einem Wettstreit mit dem norwegischen Polarforscher Roald Amundsen. Scott erreichte den Pol am 18. Januar 1912 mit der Erkenntnis, dass Amundsen und dessen vierköpfige Mannschaft ihm rund einen Monat zuvorgekommen waren. Auf dem Rückweg zum Basislager starben Scott und seine vier Begleiter an Unterernährung, Krankheit und Unterkühlung.
Scott wurde in seiner Heimat durch seinen als heroisch empfundenen Tod jahrzehntelang als selbstaufopfernder Nationalheld stilisiert. Erst zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts begann eine differenziertere Betrachtung und Neubewertung seiner Person.

National Antarctic Expedition, 1901-1903 A cloth covered album containing 48 photographic prints relating to the National Antarctic Expedition between 1901 and 1903 when E. H. Shackleton was sent home. The album is inscribed by Shackleton With kindest wishes from E. H. Shackleton to the Missis Dawson Lambton in Remembrance of the great share they took in helping the Expedition, June 1905. According to a caption in the album the Dawson Lambtons subscribed to the balloon that was taken and used. A few photographs illustrate the balloon and the view from it. There is some element of doubt about the accuracy of some of the captions and images. They may have been compiled in such a way as to provide a narrative, rather than an accurate record as depicted by each image. ALB0346; National Antarctic Expedition, 1901-1903, Plate 40, E.H.
