I believe the answer is:

scott

(Other definitions for scott that I've seen before include "British Antarctic explorer, died 1912" , "He died leading Antarctic expedition" , "Sir Peter -----, ornithologist son of a great explorer" , "old novelist" , "one wanting to explore?" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
