This is how Apsley Cherry-Garrard, in The Worst Journey in the World, his account of the Terra Nova expedition, described leader Captain Scott.

Temperamentally he was a weak man, and might very easily have been an irritable autocrat. As it was he had moods and depressions which might last for weeks, and of these there is ample evidence in his diary. The man with the nerves gets things done, but sometimes he has a terrible time in doing them. He cried more easily than any man I have ever known.
