Robert Falcon Scott
Robert Falcon Scott, known as Captain Scott or Scott of the Antarctic, was a British polar explorer.
He joined the Royal Navy in 1882.
Although he had no previous experience of polar research, in 1900 he became the leader of the British Antarctic Expedition.
This expedition, known as the Discovery Expedition lasted from 1901 to 1904.
Among other important things it determined the nature and size of the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
The aim of Scott’s second expedition in 1910 - 12 was to reach the South Pole.
Departing from Cardiff, Wales, on the ship Terra Nova, the expedition reached the Antarctic coast in 1911.
There Scott learned that the Norwegian explorer, Roald Amundsen, had already left for the Pole.
So Scott’s chance to reach the South Pole before R.
Amundsen was poor.
Equipped with motor tractors, ponies and dogs, Scott and 11 members of his team set off for the Pole on 24 October, 1911.
Unfortunately, the motor tractors rapidly broke down and their ponies were unsuitable for Antarctic conditions.
Very soon, six members of the team were sent back.
The five explorers continued their dangerous journey across the snowy desert.
On 16 January, they saw a black marker flag left by the Norwegian expedition, and two days later the party reached the South Pole itself, where the Norwegians had built a snow marker.
Amundsen had reached the South Pole more than a month earlier, on 14 December 1911.
Scott was greatly disappointed after the exhausting 81 - day journey and recorded in his diary, "This is an awful place and terrible enough for us to have reached it without the reward of priority.
"
However, the 800 mile return journey was even more terrible.
Two members fell ill and died, and the remaining explorers were frozen inside their tent in a terrible nine - day snowstorm.
The last entry in Scott's diary was made on 29 March.
Eight months later a search party, led by Dr Atkinson, discovered the tent and the bodies of the explorers, along with the diaries and last letters of Scott.
Scott had written a message explaining the reasons for the failure.
The search party buried the brave explorers and built a snow memorial on their grave.
Later, another memorial was put up at Observation Hill, at Hut Point (Antarctica) with the words ‘to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.
’
The news about the death of the Polar team reached Britain in February 1913.
Within days, Scott became a national icon.
A memorial service was held in St Paul’s Cathedral.
A campaign was launched to raise a memorial fund to continue the scientific work Scott had carried out.
The Scott Polar Research Institute was founded.
In the several years following the disaster, more than 30 monuments and memorials were set up in Britain alone.
Captain Scott put the British flag on the South Pole.

Captain Cowgill had always wanted to arrange a hot - air balloon
expedition.
One day, he placed an announcement in all the morning papers.
He
wrote that he needed three people who wanted to take a risky adventure.
Ten
people came to his office and Captain Cowgill selected three of them : two men
and a young lady.
The first volunteer was Mr.
Crutter, a well - dressed man of about sixty.
He
looked depressed and unhappy.
The second one was a doctor, Dr.
Hagan, a sad
thin gentleman.
The third adventurer, Miss Dermott, looked slim and miserable.
They were ready to fly in the balloon in spite of the risks.
Though Captain
Cowgill hoped for success, there was a great chance that the participants
wouldn’t come back.
The next day, the balloon was ready for the journey.
They had some food
and the gas equipment.
It was supposed that the travellers would fly during the
day and then land for the night.
Right before take - off, a young man ran up to
Captain Cowgill and begged to let him join the expedition.
Captain Cowgill
listened to his arguments and let the young man, Mr.
Winden, fly too.
With the last farewell to Captain Cowgill, the balloon went sailing
towards the clouds.
At first the travellers said nothing.
An hour later they found
the journey exciting.
Two hours later they revealed their reasons for coming on
the dangerous flight.
Mr. Crutter said that he had been cheated by his partners and had lost a
large part of his business.
Though he had enough money left, he felt extremely
depressed.
Dr. Hagan told the travellers that he had lost his job in a hospital.
He
felt lonely and unwanted.
Miss Dermott said that she suffered from a serious
disease and had no money for treatment.
Mr. Winden had just split up with his
girlfriend and was ready to die.
In the evening, the travellers decided to take a rest.
They landed in a
deserted place and tied the balloon to a tree.
After supper they continue talking
about their unhappy fates.
Suddenly, Mr.
Crutter offered to share his money
with his new friends.
Dr. Hagan smiled and looked at Miss Dermott.
“I think I
can cure you, Miss Dermott, ” he said.
“I have already had patients with the same
diagnosis.
” Miss Dermott smiled.
But it wasn’t the last surprise.
Mr. Winden
proposed to Miss Dermott saying that he had fallen in love at first sight.
She
shyly promised to think it over.
The talk raised their spirits and, in the morning, everybody decided to go
back home.
Now that all their problems were happily solved, they didn’t want to
go anywhere.
Suddenly Miss Dermott cried out pointing to distant object in the
sky.
It was their balloon that had broken loose while they were having breakfast.
Nobody felt upset!
The group decided to walk to the nearest railway station.
Mr. Crutter
bought tickets for his new friends and they sent Captain Cowgill a telegram.
It
said that the balloon had flown away accidentally, their expedition had failed
and they would arrive in town the next day.
Captain Cowgill tried to find the participants for his project using an advert.

The First Cinema Films.
One of the first cinema films was made by Edison, but the intervals between his photographic exposures were too short - about forty - eight photographs taken (and shown) to the second.
The human eye could not see them so fast and the movements therefore appeared very jerky.
This made the eyestired.
When Edison's machine was brought to France to show films, it was seen there by Auguste and Louis Lumiere.
These two brothers soon made a camera and projector that worked at about 16 photographs per second.
This reduced the jerkiness very much, and in December 1895 the Lumiere brothers gave the worlds's first real cinematograph show.
Their film was called The Arrival of a Train at a Station.
The film was so good that some of the audience almost expected the train to rush out at them from the screen.
In 1903 one of Edison's cameramen made a new long picture.
It was called «The Life of an American Fireman».
People liked it and asked for more ; and so more films of this kind were made.
More cinemas were built.
These first films had no sound.
When it was necessary, printed words were thrown on the screen to explain what was happening or what people were saying.
Usually music was played during the showing of a film.
If the film was showing moonlight on the sea, the music was gentle and sweet.
If there was a fight or a storm, the music wasloud and noisy.

The story of the famous and talented Brontё family is strange and unusual.
The Brontё children — five girls and a boy — lived with their father and aunt in Yorkshire.
All the children were in poor health.
Two of the girls died while they were still at school.
Bramwell, the boy, was good at writing poetry.
But he died at the age of 31.
Anne, who wrote poetry and two novels, died at 29.
Emily, who became world famous as the author of "Wuthering Heights", died a year after the book was published in 1847.
Charlotte, the author of the wonderful novel “Jane Eyre", was the only one strong enough to go out into the world and live her own life for a while.
But even she died at the early age of 39.
It was nearly impossible to believe that these wonder ful books were written by young women who had not seen anything of the world except the life of their own family.
Nobody knew that the Brontё children had learned to write stories while they were playing.
They didn’t like to play noisy games.
The game they liked best of all was writing little stories of their own.
All this was only found out in 1930 by an American university librarian who studied some of the toys and hand - written little books found in the house where the Brontё family had lived.
