What does the text tell us about the moral ideas of explorers - of Scott’s and his men’s attitude to death, fame, honour, their country?

Scott and his team, are first of all, on a mission because they want to honor their country by getting to the South Pole as the first team ever. When they found out that they were beaten they got very disappointed, because they knew the people in Britain had certain expectations to them. When the weather conditions got worse they knew that they had reached the end. But even though they knew that they probably wouldn't reach the ship they kept trying instead of giving up. They died as heroes and that is what mattered. When they died they probably didn't think of how famous the journal would be and how many people would be fascinated about their fight against the weather.
