In the summer of 1910, a race began to be the first man to reach the South Pole in Antarctica. Robert Falcon Scott, an Englishman, set sail from London aboard his ship, the Terra Nova, and began the long journey south. Five days later, another ship also began its journey south, carrying Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian. But Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth, and the journey across the ice to the South Pole is long and arduous. Some voyagers never returned home. This is the story of Scott and Amundsen, and one of the most famous and dangerous races in history.
