Scott really took Amundsen’s letter. Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen first reached the South Pole in 1911 and became the first person in the world to reach the South Pole. After this, in order to raise funds to continue the expedition, Amundsen wrote a letter to the then British King George V and requested sponsorship from the Royal Geographical Society. This letter was considered a very important piece of propaganda material at the time. At the end of 1911, the British explorer Robert Scott also planned to explore Antarctica. He learned that Amundsen's letter was very important, so he asked Amundsen to forward the letter to him. Amundsen wrote on the cover of the letter: "Will you please forward this letter to Captain Robert Scott?" Scott later arrived at the South Pole, but unfortunately encountered serious problems such as severe weather and equipment failure. Neither he nor his accompanying explorers survived the return journey, and their bodies were discovered in heavy snow. It is understood that Scott took Amundsen's letter with him before his death and protected it until the last moment.
