It is always possible to trash-talk people who actually do things.

Sure the brits in general were full of self-confidence and stiff upper lips and lacked competence, but that includes most of them.

Scurvy was not well understood at the time, most other polar explorers avoided it, not with lime juice, but by eating raw meat.

Not using skis were a huge mistake by all of the brits, but it was just not part of the culture. Norwegians grew up on them.

Same with dogs, it takes a lot of competence and energy to train, you can not do that at a whim.

Schackleton is still the most successful among the british in my opinion, and a hero.

Scott though...
