The Robert Falcon Scott statue stands in the City of Westminster as a public artwork and memorial. British sculptor Kathleen Scott created this public memorial. She was the widow of explorer Robert Falcon Scott. Scott was a British naval officer whose Antarctic expeditions made his name widely known. His Terra Nova Expedition sought the South Pole. Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen’s team reached it first. Scott and his companions died during the return journey.

Kathleen Scott shaped the sculpture in a traditional style, linking private grief with public remembrance. Her wider work includes monuments and portrait busts. This statue commemorates Scott’s exploration and the story of his Antarctic journey. It also reflects Kathleen Scott’s personal connection to the subject. The work places British sculpture beside the history of polar exploration. As an art spot, it connects Westminster with a notable figure from Britain’s Antarctic history.
