Description

In 1911, two teams headed to the southernmost point on Earth: the South Pole. No one had ever been there before, and at the end of the race, not everyone would live to tell the tale. Readers go exploring with Norwegian adventurer Roald Amundsen and his team as they head south in competition with English explorer Robert Scott. Details of their adventures, full-color photographs, and the description of the impact of their perilous journey show readers what is possible with training, will, and courage.
