Comments:
The statue is dedicated to Robert Falcon Scott, who was the second to discover Antarctica (after the Norwegian Amundsen). On their way back from Antarctica, Scott and his friends died.

The statue made by Kathleen Scott (Scott’s widow), which is actually a copy of a statue found in New Zealand, was placed in 1915.

The statue was photographed on the same day Click for a larger image

The inscription appears at the base of the statue
ERECTED BY OFFICERS OF THE FLEET

In the house where Scott lived there is a sign indicating this fact Click for sign's details
