Murray presented a paper entitled "The Renewal of Antarctic Exploration", and called for a full-scale expedition for the benefit of British science.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJones56–58-12">[11]</a> This was strongly supported, both by Markham and by the country's premier scientific body, the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Society" title="Royal Society">Royal Society</a>. A joint committee of the two societies was established to decide the form in which the expedition should take. Markham's vision of a full-blown naval affair after the style of Ross or Franklin was opposed by sections of the joint committee, but his tenacity was such that the expedition was eventually moulded largely to his wishes. His cousin and biographer later wrote that the expedition was "the creation of his brain, the product of his persistent energy".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJones56–58-12">[11]</a> It had long been Markham's practice to take note of promising young naval officers who might later be suitable for polar responsibilities, should the opportunity arise. He had first observed <a href="/wiki/Midshipman" title="Midshipman">Midshipman</a> Robert Falcon Scott in 1887, while the latter was serving with <a href="/wiki/HMS_Rover_(1874)" title="HMS Rover (1874)">HMS Rover</a> in <a href="/wiki/St_Kitts" class="mw-redirect" title="St Kitts">St Kitts</a>, and had remembered him. Thirteen years later, Scott, by now a torpedo <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant" title="Lieutenant">lieutenant</a> on <a href="/wiki/HMS_Majestic_(1895)" title="HMS Majestic (1895)">HMS Majestic</a>, was looking for a path to career advancement, and a chance meeting with Sir Clements in London led him to apply for the leadership of the expedition. Scott had long been in Markham's mind, though by no means always his first choice, but other favoured candidates had either become in his view too old, or were no longer available.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrane82–83-13">[12]</a> With Markham's determined backing, Scott's appointment was secured by 25 May 1900, followed swiftly by his promotion to <a href="/wiki/Commander" title="Commander">commander</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPreston28–29-14">[13]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Science_versus_adventure">Science versus adventure</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Discovery_Expedition&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Science versus adventure">edit</a>]</div> The command structure of the expedition had still to be settled. Markham had been determined from the beginning that its overall leader should be a naval officer, not a scientist.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrane80-15">[14]</a> Scott, writing to Markham after his appointment, reiterated that he "must have complete command of the ship and landing parties", and insisted on being consulted over all future appointments.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrane91–101-16">[15]</a> However, the Joint Committee had, with Markham's acquiescence, secured the appointment of <a href="/wiki/John_Walter_Gregory" title="John Walter Gregory">John Walter Gregory</a>, Professor of Geology at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Melbourne" title="University of Melbourne">University of Melbourne</a> and former assistant geologist at the <a href="/wiki/British_Museum" title="British Museum">British Museum</a>, as the expedition's scientific director. Gregory's view, endorsed by the Royal Society faction of the Joint Committee, was that the organisation and command of the land party should be in his hands: "...The Captain would be instructed to give such assistance as required in dredging, tow-netting etc., to place boats where required at the disposal of the scientific staff."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrane91–101-16">[15]</a> In the dispute that followed, Markham argued that Scott's command of the whole expedition must be total and unambiguous, and Scott himself was insistent on this to the point of resignation.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrane91–101-16">[15]</a> Markham's and Scott's view prevailed, and Gregory resigned, saying that the scientific work should not be "subordinated to naval adventure".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJones62–63-17">[16]</a> This controversy soured relations between the Societies, which lingered after the conclusion of the expedition and was reflected in criticism of the extent and quality of some of the published results.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJones70-18">[17]</a> Markham claimed that his insistence on a naval command was primarily a matter of tradition and style, rather than indicating disrespect for science.

Other areas of the continent had been considered, but the principle followed was that "in going for the unknown they should start from the known". The two main objectives of the expedition were summarised in the joint committee's "Instructions to the Commander" as: "to determine, as far as possible, the nature, condition and extent of that portion of the south polar lands which is included in the scope of your expedition", and "to make a magnetic survey in the southern regions to the south of the fortieth parallel and to carry out meteorological, oceanographic, geological, biological and physical investigations and researches". The instructions stipulated that "neither of these objectives was to be sacrificed to the other". The instructions concerning the geographical objective became more specific: "The chief points of geographical interest are [...] to explore the ice barrier of Sir James Ross to its eastern extremity; to discover the land which was believed by Ross to flank the barrier to the eastward, or to ascertain that it does not exist [...] If you should decide to winter in the ice...your efforts as regards geographical exploration should be directed to [...] an advance to the western mountains, an advance to the south, and an exploration of the volcanic region". <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Expedition">Expedition</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Discovery_Expedition&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Expedition">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="First_years">First years</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Discovery_Expedition&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: First years">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Outward_journey">Outward journey</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Discovery_Expedition&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Outward journey">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Discovery_Expedition_field_of_work.png" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="The routes of the expedition's main journeys are shown by differentiated lines emanating from the base at Hut Point." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Discovery_Expedition_field_of_work.png/370px-Discovery_Expedition_field_of_work.png" decoding="async" width="370" height="249" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Discovery_Expedition_field_of_work.png/555px-Discovery_Expedition_field_of_work.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Discovery_Expedition_field_of_work.png/740px-Discovery_Expedition_field_of_work.png 2x" data-file-width="890" data-file-height="598" /></a><figcaption><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r981673959">.mw-parser-output .legend{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .legend-color{display:inline-block;min-width:1.25em;height:1.25em;line-height:1.25;margin:1px 0;text-align:center;border:1px solid black;background-color:transparent;color:black}.mw-parser-output .legend-text{}</style><div class="legend">  <a href="/wiki/Farthest_South" title="Farthest South">Farthest South</a>, November 1902 – February 1903</div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r981673959"><div class="legend">  <a href="/wiki/Polar_Plateau" class="mw-redirect" title="Polar Plateau">Polar Plateau</a>, October–December 1903</div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r981673959"><div class="legend">  <a href="/wiki/Cape_Crozier" title="Cape Crozier">Cape Crozier</a>, October 1902; September–October 1903.</div></figcaption></figure> Discovery left <a href="/wiki/Isle_of_Wight" title="Isle of Wight">Isle of Wight</a>&#91;[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|<span_title="This_citation_requires_a_reference_to_the_specific_page_or_range_of_pages_in_which_the_material_appears.&#32;(July_2014)">page&nbsp;needed]]&#93;_44-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESkelton2004[[Category:Wikipedia_articles_needing_page_number_citations_from_July_2014]]<sup_class="noprint_Inline-Template_"_style="white-space:nowrap;">&#91;[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|<span_title="This_citation_requires_a_reference_to_the_specific_page_or_range_of_pages_in_which_the_material_appears.&#32;(July_2014)">page&nbsp;needed]]&#93;-44">[42]</a> on 6 August 1901, and arrived in <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand" title="New Zealand">New Zealand</a> via Cape Town on 29 November after a detour below 40°S for a magnetic survey.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESavours24-45">[43]</a> <a href="/wiki/%C5%8Ctamahua_/_Quail_Island" title="Ōtamahua / Quail Island">Quail Island</a> in <a href="/wiki/Lyttelton_Harbour" title="Lyttelton Harbour">Lyttelton Harbour</a> was used as the quarantine station for the expedition's dogs.<a href="#cite_note-46">[44]</a> After three weeks of final preparation she was ready for the journey south.

After the support parties had returned, on 15 November, Scott's group began relaying their loads (taking half loads forward, then returning for the other half), thus travelling three miles for every mile of southward progress. Mistakes had been made with the dogs' food,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrane205-66">[64]</a> and as the dogs grew weaker, Wilson was forced to kill the weakest as food for the others.

The expedition's organisers had assumed that the Discovery would be free from the ice in early 1903, enabling Scott to carry out further seaborne exploration and survey work before winter set in.

Armitage's reconnaissance party of the previous year had pioneered a route up to altitude 8,900 feet (2,700 m) before returning, but Scott wished to march west from this point, if possible to the location of the <a href="/wiki/South_Magnetic_Pole" class="mw-redirect" title="South Magnetic Pole">South Magnetic Pole</a>.

This prevented them from reaching the glacier summit until 13 November.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFiennes120-77">[74]</a> They then marched on beyond Armitage's furthest point, discovered the <a href="/wiki/Polar_Plateau" class="mw-redirect" title="Polar Plateau">Polar Plateau</a> and became the first party to travel on it. After the return of geological and supporting parties, Scott, Evans and Lashly continued westward across the featureless plain for another eight days, covering a distance of about 150 miles to reach their most westerly point on 30 November.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPreston70–76-76">[73]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrane70-78">[75]</a> Having lost their navigational tables in a gale during the glacier ascent, they did not know exactly where they were, and had no landmarks to help them fix a position. The return journey to the Ferrar Glacier was undertaken in conditions which limited them to no more than a mile an hour, with supplies running low and dependent on Scott's rule of thumb navigation.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPreston70–76-76">[73]</a> On the descent of the glacier Scott and Evans survived a potentially fatal fall into a crevasse, before the discovery of a snow-free area or <a href="/wiki/McMurdo_Dry_Valleys" title="McMurdo Dry Valleys">dry valley</a>, a rare Antarctic phenomenon.

Their daily average of over 14 miles on this man-hauling journey was significantly better than that achieved with dogs on the previous season's southern journey, a fact which further strengthened Scott's prejudices against dogs.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPreston70–76-76">[73]</a> Polar historian David Crane calls the western journey "one of the great journeys of polar history".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrane270-79">[76]</a> Several other journeys were completed during Scott's absence. Royds and Bernacchi travelled for 31 days on the Barrier in a SE direction, observing its uniformly flat character and making further magnetic readings. Another party had explored the <a href="/wiki/Koettlitz_Glacier" title="Koettlitz Glacier">Koettlitz Glacier</a> to the south-west, and Wilson had travelled to Cape Crozier to observe the emperor penguin colony at close quarters.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPreston70–76-76">[73]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Second_relief_expedition">Second relief expedition</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Discovery_Expedition&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Second relief expedition">edit</a>]</div> Scott had hoped on his return to find Discovery free from the ice, but she remained held fast. Work had begun with ice saws, but after 12 days' labour only two short parallel cuts of 450 feet (140 m) had been carved, with the ship still 20 miles (32 km) from open water.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrane275-80">[77]</a> On 5 January 1904 the relief ship Morning returned, this time with a second ship, the <a href="/wiki/Terra_Nova_(ship)" title="Terra Nova (ship)">Terra Nova</a>. Colbeck was carrying firm instructions from the Admiralty that, if Discovery could not be freed by a certain date she was to be abandoned and her complement brought home on the two relief ships. This ultimatum resulted from Markham's dependence on the Treasury for meeting the costs of this second relief expedition, since the expedition's coffers were empty. The Admiralty would foot the bill only on their own terms.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFiennes129–30-81">[78]</a> The deadline agreed between the three captains was 25 February, and it became a race against time for the relief vessels to reach Discovery, still held fast at Hut Point. As a precaution Scott began the transfer of his scientific specimens to the other ships. Explosives were used to break up the ice, and the sawing parties resumed work, but although the relief ships were able to edge closer, by the end of January Discovery remained icebound, two miles (approx. 3 km) from the rescuers. On 10 February Scott accepted that he would have to abandon her, but on 14 February most of the ice suddenly broke up, and Morning and Terra Nova were at last able to sail alongside Discovery.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESmith66-82">[79]</a> A final explosive charge removed the remaining ice on 16 February, and the following day, after a last scare when she became temporarily grounded on a shoal, Discovery began the return journey to New Zealand.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrane277–87-83">[80]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Homecoming_and_results">Homecoming and results</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Discovery_Expedition&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Homecoming and results">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bull_Pass_-_Antarctica.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="In the foreground is a landscape of dull brown mounds and undulations, behind which are snow-covered mountain peaks." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Bull_Pass_-_Antarctica.jpg/220px-Bull_Pass_-_Antarctica.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Bull_Pass_-_Antarctica.jpg/330px-Bull_Pass_-_Antarctica.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Bull_Pass_-_Antarctica.jpg/440px-Bull_Pass_-_Antarctica.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1600" data-file-height="1200" /></a><figcaption>The Dry Valleys in the western mountains of Victoria Land, discovered during the expedition's western journey.</figcaption></figure> On its return to Britain, the expedition's reception was initially muted.

The island nature of Ross Island was established,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPreston47-88">[85]</a> the Transantarctic Mountains were charted to 83°S,<a href="#cite_note-89">[86]</a> and the positions and heights of more than 200 individual mountains were calculated.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPreston77-90">[87]</a> Many other features and landmarks were also identified and named, and there was extensive coastal survey work. There were also discoveries of major scientific importance. These included the snow-free Dry Valleys in the western mountains, the emperor penguin colony at Cape Crozier, scientific evidence that the Ice Barrier was a floating ice shelf,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrane272–73-91">[88]</a> and a leaf fossil discovered by Ferrar which helped to establish Antarctica's relation to the <a href="/wiki/Gondwana" title="Gondwana">Gondwana</a> super-continent.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrane272-92">[89]</a> Thousands of geological and biological specimens had been collected and new marine species identified.

This euphoria was not conducive to objective analysis, or to thoughtful appraisal of the expedition's strengths and weaknesses. In particular, the glorification by Scott of man-hauling as something intrinsically more noble than other ice travel techniques led to a general distrust of methods involving ski and dogs, a mindset that was carried forward into later expeditions.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJones71-107">[104]</a> This mystified seasoned ice travellers such as <a href="/wiki/Fridtjof_Nansen" title="Fridtjof Nansen">Fridtjof Nansen</a>, whose advice on such matters was usually sought, but often set aside.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJones83-108">[105]</a> The Discovery Expedition launched the Antarctic careers of several who became stalwarts or leaders of expeditions in the following fifteen years.

Under duress, Shackleton agreed not to work from McMurdo Sound, which Scott was claiming as his own sphere of work.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERiffenburgh108–16-111">[108]</a> In the event, unable to find a safe landing elsewhere, Shackleton was forced to break this promise.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERiffenburgh153–55-112">[109]</a> <a href="/wiki/Nimrod_Expedition" title="Nimrod Expedition">His expedition</a> was highly successful, its southern march ending at 88°23′, less than 100 geographical miles from the South Pole, while its northern party reached the location of the South Magnetic Pole.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERiffenburgh221–44-113">[110]</a> However, Shackleton's breach of his undertaking caused a significant break in relations between the two men, with Scott dismissing his former companion as a liar and a rogue.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford,_''Shackleton''304-114">[111]</a> Scott's plans gradually came to fruition – a large-scale scientific and geographical expedition with the conquest of the South Pole as its principal objective. Scott was anxious to avoid the amateurism that had been associated with the Discovery Expedition's scientific work. He appointed Edward Wilson as his chief scientist, and Wilson selected an experienced team.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPreston111–12-115">[112]</a> The expedition set off in June 1910 in Terra Nova, one of Discovery's relief ships. Its programme was complicated by the simultaneous arrival in the Antarctic of <a href="/wiki/Roald_Amundsen" title="Roald Amundsen">Roald Amundsen</a>'s Norwegian expedition. Amundsen's party reached the South Pole on 14 December 1911 and returned safely. Scott and four companions, including Wilson, arrived at the Pole on 17 January 1912; all five perished on the return journey.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPreston197–205-116">[113]</a> <div
