Because Scott was one of the first explorers to reach the South Pole. Gave his precious life for Antarctic exploration. \x0d\\x0d\ Scott: The most tragic and famous explorer in Antarctica \x0d\\x0d\ Today, the scientific experimental station located at 90 degrees south latitude of Antarctica was named Amundsen-Scott Station to commemorate the two explorers who first arrived in the Antarctic-Norwegian Amundsen and Englishman Scott. At that time, they each led an expedition and had a fierce competition to become the first person in the world to reach the South Pole. \x0d\\x0d\ As a result, Amundsen got there first,1911214 reached the South Pole,1912/kloc-4. In the end, Amundsen's team evacuated safely, while the five members of Scott's team who finally attacked the South Pole stayed there forever ... \ x0d \ x0d \ Scott is a colonel in the Royal Navy. He did well in the navy. After retiring, he organized an expedition with shackleton. There is no sign that he is a hero, and his face is as cold, determined and expressionless as all British people in Qian Qian. Blue-gray eyes, closed mouth, face without any romantic lines and a hint of relaxed and happy color. He has been to India, conquered many isl\x0d\s, been to Africa and participated in numerous world wars. However, his iron will is still felt by people. He was going to explore the Antarctic, and he gave all his property for lack of funds. The young wife gave birth to a son for him, but he still couldn't give up the idea of going to the South Pole. \ x0d \ x0d \ 1 910 June1day, Scott and more than 30 expedition members he recruited left England. Began a long journey to conquer the South Pole. \x0d\\x0d\ 1。 Bad news: Amundsen has already reached \ x0d \ x0d \ Scott and his expedition arrived at Cape Evans in New Zealand at the end of 19 1 1, which is the edge of the polar region. They built a wooden house here. 65438+February and 65438+ 10 are considered as summer here. At this time of the year, the sun appears in the sky for several hours every day. \x0d\\x0d\ Whenever the sun comes out, they will hurry to work: test motorized sledges, practice skiing, train dogs, and build warehouses for future adventures. An expedition brought back news from the west. On the way, they found Amundsen's winter camp. Scott immediately understood: now, besides the cold and danger, there is another person who challenges him to take away his honor as the first person to discover the last secret of the earth. This man is Norwegian Amundsen. Scott repeatedly measured on the map. When he found that Amundsen's camp was closer to the South Pole than his own 1 10 km, he was completely shocked, but he was not discouraged. \x0d\ "I must cheer for the honor of the British Empire! "He wrote in his diary. \x0d\\x0d\ The phone finally rang, and the news came from the observation highland: the sun came out. For the first time in months, the sun appeared on this cold night 1 hour. The sunlight is so weak and dim that it can hardly revive the cold air. However, just seeing the sun is enough to make people laugh. In order to make full use of this bright time, the expedition made preparations nervously. The motorized sleigh clears the way in front, followed by the sled pulled by Xibe \x0d\ Leah pony and Eskimo dog. Scott divided the whole journey they were going to take into several sections in advance. Set up a storage point every two days to store new clothes, food and the most important kerosene for those who return later. \ x0d \ x0d \ Although Scott's plan was well made, it didn't succeed. After two days' journey, all the motorized sledges broke down and became a useless burden; The situation of Siberian ponies is not as good as expected. \ x0d \ x0d \ 1 9 1 year1month/day, they set out in several groups. This strange expedition started with 30 people, then 20 people, 10 people, and finally there were only 5 people left. Scott walked at the head of the line. He always wraps himself in fur and cloth, revealing only his beard and a pair of eyes, and looks like a savage. Holding the halter of Siberian pony in one hand. Behind him is a man in the same dress and posture. \ x0d \ x0d \ They got into the tent at night and built a snow wall in the windward direction to protect Siberian ponies. Early the next morning, they set off again, walking in the cold air that humans breathed for the first time in thousands of years with a monotonous and desolate feeling. \ x0d \ x0d \ The weather is always bad, sometimes they can only walk 30 kilometers a day. Time is more and more precious, because they know that another person is also moving towards the same goal. Here, every little thing can lead to danger. An Eskimo dog escaped and a Siberian pony refused to eat. All these make people nervous, because in this desolate snowfield, all useful things are extremely precious, and the living things are even more priceless. \x0d\\x0d\ At the same time, the health condition of the whole team has also gone wrong. Some people have snow blindness, and some people have frostbite on their limbs. Feed is getting less and less, and Siberian ponies are getting more and more tired. At last, the ponies all died as soon as they reached the foot of Mount I of Bill \x0d\ Zymore Glacier ... They had touched them tenderly for countless times, and now they want to kill these loyal animals. They called this sad place "slaughterhouse camp". In this fresh and bloody place, some explorers left the team and went back, while others had to make a final effort. \ x0d \ x0d \ They walk less and less every day, and the snow becomes hard ice. They can't ride the sleigh any more, they have to tow it. Hard ice cut the sled board, and my feet were worn out when I walked on the snow as hard as sand. On February 30th, 65438, they reached 87 degrees south latitude, which was the farthest point that shackleton reached. The last batch of support personnel must also return, and only five selected people can go all the way to the extreme. Scott will pick out the wrong people. These people dare not defy, but their hearts are heavy. The goal is close at hand, but they have to go back and give the honor to other partners. They shook "x0d" to each other again, using men's strength to hide their emotional excitement. The five people selected are Scott, Bowles, Oates, Wilson and Evans, and they will go on alone. \ x0d \ x0d \ Scott's log shows more and more anxiety in recent days. However, there is also a spark of hope between the lines of the log. Scott recorded the distance more and more vigorously: "We only need to walk 150 km to reach the limit, but if we go on like this, we really can't hold on." Two days later, the log reads: "There is still 137 km from the limit, but this journey will be very difficult for us." Then, suddenly \x0d\ appeared a confident voice: "Just walk 94 kilometers to the limit! Even if we can't get there, we are very, very close. " \ x0d \ \ x0d \ 2。 Finally arrived at the South Pole, but still one step late \ x0d \ x0d \ 65438+1October 14, hoping to become a certainty: "We only need to walk another 70 kilometers, and our destination will arrive!" From the diary of the next day, we can already see their joy and almost relaxed and happy mood: "There are only 50 kilometers left from the pole. We will reach our destination anyway! " \ x0d \ x0d \ 65438+1October 16 They set off early in the morning, earlier than usual, in order to see the incomparable beautiful secret earlier. At noon, the five of them had already left 14 km. They walked enthusiastically on the deserted white snow. But suddenly, Bowles became uneasy and stared at a small black spot on the snow. He dare not say his guess: someone may have set up a road sign here. \ x0d \ x0d \ Not long after, they found a ski pole stuck in the snow, with a black flag tied to it, surrounded by the remnants of the camp. In the face of this harsh fact, there is no need to doubt that Amundsen has set up camp here. The Antarctic race, which has been inaccessible for thousands of years, was discovered twice in 35 days, which is incredible in human history. They only came for the second time, only a month late, but for human beings, the first arrival \x0d\ means having everything, and the second arrival is nothing. "After all kinds of hardships, camping, endless pain and troubles, what is this for? Not only for these dreams, but now these dreams are shattered. " Scott wrote in the log. Tears filled their eyes. Tired as they were, they couldn't sleep that night. Like prisoners sentenced to death, they lost hope and went on the last road to the limit in frustration. None of them want to comfort others, just dragging their feet silently. On \ x0d \ x0d \ 18 10/8, Colonel Scott and his four partners finally reached the South Pole. He is no longer the first person to arrive here, and everything here will not make him feel dazzling. He just looked at the sad place with cold eyes. "I can't see anything here, which is no different from the creepy monotony of the past few days. 011-these are all Scott's descriptions of the pole. \ x0d \ x0d \ The only unusual thing they found there was not nature, but Amundsen tent with Norwegian flag. Amundsen also left a letter, waiting for the unknown second place to come. He believed that the second letter would arrive soon, so he asked him to take it to King Haakon of Norway. Scott accepted this task, and \x0d\ he will faithfully perform this most ruthless duty: to testify for another person's achievements in front of the world, which is exactly what he dreams of. \ x0d \ x0d \ They unpleasantly planted the British flag next to Amundsen's victory flag and left. There was a cold wind blowing behind them, and Scott wrote in his diary with a sense of foreboding: "The way back made me feel terrible. "\ x0d \ x0d \ The return journey was extremely difficult. Finally, they were killed, and the danger of the return journey increased tenfold. They must also follow the original footsteps and walk back. During the weeks-long trip, they must be careful not to leave the original footprints, so as not to miss the pre-set storage point, where food, clothes and kerosene are stored. If you miss the storage point, you are dead. \ x0d \ x0d \ Their iron will has also slackened. When they came, they were full of hope, which reflected the curiosity and desire of all mankind and added infinite strength to them. Now, they are just fighting for the skin not to be damaged, for the survival of their bodies, \x0d\ for going home without any glory. Perhaps in their hearts, they are more afraid of going home than expecting it. \x0d\\x0d\ It's terrible to look at the logs of those days. The weather is getting worse and worse, and the cold season comes earlier than usual. The snow under their feet turned from soft to hard, forming thick ice. Stepping on it is like stepping on a tripod, \x0d\ every step will stick to the shoes. The biting cold devoured their tired bodies. Only a few people walk in the darkness and loneliness, and their heroism is admirable, which can best prove that this is due to Dr. Wilsha, who is in charge of scientific research. When he was far away from death, he continued his scientific observation. In addition to all the necessary items, he also dragged 16 kg of precious rock samples on the sled. \ x0d \ x0d \ However, people's courage is gradually eroded by the great power of nature. Their feet have been frozen rotten; The ration of food is getting less and less. I can only eat one hot meal a day, which is very weak. One day, his friends discovered horribly that Evans, the strongest among them, suddenly went insane. He stood aside, muttering to himself and complaining about his pain. What shall we do, abandon him on this lifeless ice field? No. However, they must arrive at the next storage point quickly, otherwise ... it is not clear from the log what Scott is going to do. /kloc-at one o'clock in the night of February, 0/7, the unfortunate British navy sergeant died. On that day, they just went to the \x0d\ slaughterhouse camp, found the pony slaughtered last month, and had a sumptuous meal for the first time. \x0d\\x0d\ Now only four people continue to walk, but the next storage point brings new disappointment. There is too little kerosene stored here, so they must use these fuels carefully. They continued to drag themselves forward, \x0d\ Oates' toes were frozen off. The wind was blowing harder than ever before. On March 2, they arrived at the next storage point and felt terrible despair again: there was very little fuel stored there. \ x0d \ x0d \ From the log, people can see how Scott tried to hide his fear, "God bless! We can't stand this kind of fatigue any longer. May God bless us! We can hardly count on people's help now. " However, they dragged their tired bodies, gritted their teeth and moved on in despair. Oates became more and more unable to walk and became a burden to his friends. One day at noon, the temperature reached minus 40 degrees Celsius \x0d\ and they had to slow down. Oates knew in his heart that he would bring bad luck to his friends. He asked Wilson, who was in charge of scientific research, for ten morphine tablets in order to end his life quickly when necessary. They "x0d" walked hard for another day, and Oates asked to stay in the sleeping bag and separate their fate from theirs. They resolutely refused, although it was obvious that doing so would undoubtedly reduce everyone's burden. Oates staggered for several kilometers with his frostbitten feet until he reached the camp. \ x0d \ x0d \ got up early in the morning and they saw a raging snowstorm outside. Oates suddenly stood up and said to his friends, "I'm going out for a walk. Maybe I'll stay longer." Everyone knows what this means and no one dares to stop it. Everyone is in awe: Lawrence? Oates, the captain of the Royal Guard, died like a hero. \ x0d \ x0d \ Now, only three exhausted people are dragging their feet on the endless ice and snow wasteland. They are too tired to have any hope. They just rely on their own vague intuition to support their bodies \x0d\ and walk at a staggering pace. On March 2 1 day, they were only 20 kilometers away from the next storage point, but the snowstorm was so fierce that they could not leave the tent. Now they can only choose two ways to die: starvation or freezing. Surrounded by the white primitive world, three people fought for their doomed death for eight days in a small tent. On March 29th, they knew that there would be no more miracles, so they decided not to go to \x0d\ luck, but to die proudly in the tent. ...
