Another famous
Antarctica story
Race
to the South Pole
Highlights:
Amundsen
and Scott
Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and British explorer Robert Falcon Scott were
avid
rivals in the quest to become the first human to reach the South Pole.
The
winner
Amundsen and his team won bragging rights in 1911. He returned home to
widespread acclaim.
Misfortune
Although Scott also reached the South Pole, he found a
Norwegian flag, which meant Amundsen beat him. Scott's luck worsened on the way back.
He and his men ran out of essential provisions and died.
