Robert Scott
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
In 1910, Captain Robert Scott travelled from Cardiff to the Antarctic. He took two years to get there and died shortly after. A statue was erected in his honour. (TW: To the Last Man)
Behind the scenes
Though Scott's first name was not given by To the Last Man, the scene doesn't parse correctly unless it's assumed to be Captain Robert Scott, the famous real world Antarctic explorer.
