What happened on Friday January 19, 1912?

Here's what happened on January 19, 1912:

• British Antarctic Expedition: Scott's Fateful South Pole Journey On January 19, 1912, during the British Antarctic Expedition, Captain Robert Falcon Scott made a critical and ultimately tragic decision that would seal the fate of his polar exploration team. Devastated by the knowledge that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had already reached the South Pole, Scott and his team were exhausted and facing dwindling supplies. Originally planning to split the team, Scott altered the plan by adding Henry Robertson Bowers to the South Pole assault group, which now consisted of Scott, Edward Wilson, Lawrence Oates, and Bowers. This meant dividing limited resources among five men instead of four, a decision that would prove catastrophic for the expedition. The team's morale was low, and their physical condition was deteriorating. Scott's choice to modify the original plan would contribute to the team's ultimate demise, as they struggled against extreme Antarctic conditions with insufficient provisions and mounting challenges.
