Слайд 2On June 15 1910 the English ship “Terra Nova” left England went

to the Antarctic. On a board of the ship was an English naval Officer Robert Falkon Scott. He had a dream. He wanted to be first the first on the South Pole.
Слайд 3On 1 November 1912 Scott and his expedition started to go to

Слайд 9He had thought of everything. But one thing worried Scott: another famous

explorer Roald Amundsen from Norway, had also gone to the Antarctic
Слайд 10Scott’s expedition remembered about Amundsen and didn’t want to lose the raсe

Слайд 14Very quickly Scott understood that he had made a lot of mistakes

Слайд 15The sledges didn’t work. The ponies couldn’t walk in a deep snow

and soon died. Scott hadn’t bought any dogs, and the men had to pull the sledges with their food and equipment
Слайд 17The team had never been to the Antarctic before, so they were

not ready for all the difficulties
Слайд 21Finally on 12 January Scott and his men got to the South

Pole. There they saw a Norwegian flag; Amundsen had got there two weeks before.
Слайд 22In the last letter he wrote: “We knew that our expedition was

dangerous. But we had been on the South Pole.
And I ask for God's sake look after our relatives”
Слайд 23The people in Scott’s expedition died on their way back to the

camp. Winter killed them.
Слайд 24They were not first at the South Pole. But they showed an

example of courage, strength and love for their country in the hearts of people all over world.
Слайд 25There is a simple wooden cross in the Antarctic. People put it

there in the memory of the brave Englishmen.
Слайд 26The inscription on the cross is
To strive,
to seek,
to find
and not

to yield .
