RRS Discovery

RRS Discovery was a British ship built specifically for scientific exploration, most notably for Sir Robert Falcon Scott’s Antarctic expeditions in the early 20th century. Launched in 1901, it was designed to carry explorers and equipment to remote, icy regions of Antarctica, enabling detailed scientific research and geographic discoveries. The ship's sturdy construction and ice-strengthened hull allowed it to navigate through thick ice conditions. RRS Discovery played a crucial role in expanding our understanding of polar environments and contributed significantly to scientific knowledge about Antarctica. It is remembered as a symbol of exploration and scientific investigation.
