England 1909, Robert Falcon Scott is preparing to go to the end of the Earth, the South Pole. Meanwhile in Norway, Roald Amundsen is preparing for the same voyage.

The American, Robert Peary, had conquered the North Pole which left only the South Pole, for only the bravest of explores to reach. The two teams departed, the British and the Norwegians, to try to be the first to reach the southern most tip of the Earth. In a race which included enduring 80+ mile per hour winds and temperatures well below zero these two teams gave every last bit of energy to reach their destination and forever be remembered as the man who conquered the South Pole. Do you want to know the results of the race? Visit this easy to navigate site which gives the history of the planning and the trials and tribulations endured during the trek. I assure you this is a wonderful story of perseverance and a determination rarely seen in modern day men and women.
