The International Scott Centenary Expedition is a dynamic project celebrating the centenary of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913) aboard Terra Nova and the death of Captain Scott and the Pole Party in March 1912. We are undertaking an expedition to Antarctica in 2012, involving people from multiple backgrounds and ages, to visit the last tent site of Scott and his Polar Party, and in doing so to provide a clear focus for the education programme and media outreach campaign, and thereby to inspire and educate the community at large and the leaders of tomorrow.

The expedition salutes the memory of Scott and his Pole Party and celebrates their achievements, providing a powerful focus to our education and outreach programme. A century on, Scott's legacy is to be found in the modern framework of the Antarctic Treaty itself, which designates Antarctica as an international continent for science. With its educational and scientific emphases, this expedition will be supporting this ethos. We will also be supporting the work of the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge, which continues the legacy of Scott's expeditions in the Polar regions to this day, ensuring a century of polar scientific work inspired by Captain Scott. Our education and outreach work, with children and engaging the community through 'Scott' themed events and workshops is already under way. You can find out more about all aspects of the expedition at our website.
