They showed determination and strength of character which is seen in heroes. They are not losers but inspirational figures. They kept their goals in mind. They carried the rocks even in the hopeless situations. The spirit and what they did helped the followers do further research.
They did not only think about themselves but also about the greater benefits of humankind.
They created what is called “the heroic age of Antarctic exploration”. Since then, humans have never stopped exploring Antarctica.
