''“For scientific discovery, give me Scott; for speed and efficiency of travel, give me Amundsen; but when you are in a hopeless situation, when you are seeing no way out, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton”

He aborted ALL his expeditions. But he never lost a single man. There's a story of how he kept a cracker all throughout 1 expedition. Everyone on the verge of starvation - he gives the cracker to the youngest member of the expedition. It was just 1 simple cracker - but to that boy it meant the world.

The sad thing about Scott is he never even wanted to go to the South Pole. The financiers made it a stipulation so they could use it for headlines.
