During their expedition the team ran into multiple issues due to the extreme weather, status of the animals, and other ailments. Lawrence Oats himself fell prey to a combination of frostbite and scurvy, causing him immense pain in his feet during the return journey home. After days of agony, Lawrence asked that the rest of the group proceed without him as his condition slowed the group and risked them running out of food.
With the team not willing to leave him behind, Lawrence Oates excused himself for a 'long walk' and left the tent to never return. Captain Robert Falcon Scott wrote in his diary "We knew that poor Oates was walking to his death, but though we tried to dissuade him, we knew it was the act of a brave man and an English gentleman". Unfortunately, his valiant effort did not save the rest of the team. The rest of the expedition, including Captain Scott died just a few days later, only twenty miles away from the nearest supply depot.
