The bronze plaque on the base reads:

Robert Falcon Scott
Captain Royal Navy
who with four companions
died march 1912 returning from the South Pole
'Had we lived I should have had a tale to tell
of the hardihood endurance and courage
of my companions which would have stirred
the heart of every Englishman
but these rough notes and
our dead bodies must tell the tale.' — From Scott's Diary
