The last Robert Scott expedition failed with the complete (compleat?) expiration of the explorers.
The staged supply points had kerosene stored in lead-soldered cans. The cans didn't hold up under the Antarctic climate, and all the fuel escaped, a situation that they didn't foresee.
If only they had the foresight to stock fruitcakes.
