Scott’s Doomed Terra Nova Expedition - In 1910, Captain Robert Falcon Scott led the British Antarctic Expedition, better known as the Terra Nova Expedition, determined to be the first to reach the South Pole. What began with high hopes and scientific goals soon collapsed into one of the most tragic stories in survival history.Battling storms, starvation, frostbite, and exhaustion, Scott and his men pushed farther into Antarctica than they should have — only to discover Roald Amundsen had beaten them to the Pole. The return journey became a slow-motion catastrophe. Edgar Evans fell, Lawrence Oates sacrificed himself, and Scott’s final diary plea still echoes through history: “For God’s sake look after our people."If you enjoy survival history, mysteries, and true accounts of people pushed beyond their limits, subscribe for weekly episodes.🔔 Subscribe for more real survival stories and historical mysteries.This video includes paid stock, public domain, or Creative Commons content used under fair dealing or fair use.

Juana María was abandoned on San Nicolas Island stranded alone for 18 years. She became the last of the Nicoleño people, cut off from the world and forced to survive in total isolation. This is one of the most astonishing survival stories in history.With no family, no community, and no way off the island, she built whale-bone shelters, sewed clothes from bird feathers, and kept her fire alive with scraps of driftwood and rancid fat. For nearly two decades she endured storms, hunger, and solitude.

In 1552, the Portuguese carrack São João shattered on a remote stretch of the South African coast, throwing more than 600 people into the surf. Those who survived the wreck were left stranded with almost no food or water , and faced a single impossible option.
March north.
Across a brutal coastline.
Barefoot, starving, hunted, and collapsing one by one.
What followed became one of the deadliest survival marches in history.
