At the age of 24, 'Cherry' was one of the youngest members of [[Robert Falcon Scott]]'s Terra Nova expedition (1910–13). This was Scott's second and last expedition to [[Antarctica]]. Cherry's application to join the expedition was initially rejected as Scott was looking for scientists, but he made a second application along with a promise of £1,000 (2009 approximation £50,000) towards the cost of the expedition. Rejected a second time, he made the donation regardless. Struck by this gesture, and at the same time persuaded by Dr Edward 'Bill' Wilson, Scott agreed to take Cherry-Garrard as assistant zoologist.
