Robert Scott and his team were left where they died on the Ross Ice Shelf. It is not certain if their bodies are still on the Ice Shelf, or if they have been carried away by the continuing movement and breakup of that Ice Shelf.

Where is Captain Scott buried?

Captain Scott together with his two companions were covered with their Scott tent -- centre pole removed, and buried in a snowdrift that covered the tent. The spot is located on the Antarctic continent on an ice shelf that may by now have calved into the sea.


When was Robert Falcon Scott buried?

The team that found Captain Scott with his companions buried the tent with their bodies inside, in November of 1912. Mother Nature subsequently covered the spot with ice crystals and as part of the Ross Ice Shelf, one can assume that their remains are either still there, or have been calved off in an iceberg and dropped into the sea bed.

Was Robert Falcon Scott buried?

Yes he was.Another AnswerApsley Cherry-Gerard, one of Scott's crew, led an expedition in the later months of 1912, to find the polar team. They came upon the tent that had been mostly drifted over by blowing ice crystals and snow. They dug into the ten, opened the flaps and discovered the three remaining explorers: Dr Wilson, Captain Scott and Birdie Bowers. In the middle of the three, Captain Scott had thrown off his deer-skin bag, and thrown open his coat.Cherry-Gerard's team removed all portable items from the tent -- tools, equipment, journals, letters written by the explorers to their families, and such -- and re-buried the tent.It is assumed that the tent drifted with ice calving into the Southern Ocean, no formal or absolute result has ever been documented.
