About This Item

2325_0

The Southpole expedtion was competition between the Britain Robert Scott and the Norwegian Roald Amundsen.

Both tried to be the first recorded human reaching the geographic South Pole.
On 09. August 1910 Amundsen started his expedition with his ship "Fram". The official destination was the North Pole. However Amundsen was informed that two Americans (Cook and Peary) made it to the North Pole yet. This was the reason why his plans have changed.
When he stopped in Madeira (the last stop before reaching the Pole) he informed his crew about their new destination. the South Pole.
In January 1911 he reached the Antarctica where they build their base camp until Amundsen started his expedition to the geographic South Pole on 19. November 1911 together with a team of 4 men, 4 sledges and 50 dogs.
Amundsen finally reached his destination on 14. December 1911 and left the Norwegian flag at this place. He made the FTF ;-).
