I think Scott's main problem was that he never learned from the mistakes he made in previous expeditions, he never said "that didn't work, let's try something else", he just went on with the plan. I don't know if this was a Victorian attitude or not. I do not think the failure of Scott's last expedition was bad luck as some would say. The Franklin Expedition was lost due to bad luck, circumstances arose that they could not have foreseen.
