Both the Norwegian Roald Amundsen and Brit Robert Falcon Scott led expeditions to the South Pole within weeks of each other. Unfortunately, things didn't work out for one team on the return leg. In these
Wonderful photographs from Roald Amundsen's account of his expedition which became the first to reach the South Pole on 14 December 1911.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the South Pole was the most coveted prize in the fiercely nationalistic modern age of exploration. In the brilliant dual biography, the award-winning writer Roland Huntford re-examines every detail of the great race to the South Pole between Britain's Robert Scott and Norway's Roald Amundsen. Scott, who dies along with four of his men only eleven miles from his next cache of supplies, became Britain's beloved failure, while Amundsen, who not only beat Scott to the Pole but returned alive, was largely forgotten. This account of their race is a gripping, highly readable history that captures the driving ambitions of the era and the complex, often deeply flawed men who were charged with carrying them out. THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH is the first of Huntford's masterly trilogy of polar biographies. It is also the only work on the subject in the English language based on the original Norwegian sources, to which Huntford returned to revise and update this edition.

The buildings in this neighborhood are in Scandinavian takes on the Art Nouveau style, more commonly called Jugendstil here. The style happened to be

Heute vor hundert Jahren erreichte Roald Amundsen als erster Mensch den Südpol. Arktis und Antarktis waren damals völlig unbekanntes Terrain - und jeder, der in das ewige Eis vordrang, riskierte sein Leben. Ein schmaler Grat entschied, wer zum Held wurde und wer qualvoll sterben musste.
“I'm not waddling! I'm working my glutes!” ― Picture quote, Wild World Roald (ペンタ, Penta?) is a jock penguin villager from the Animal Crossing series. He has appeared in every game so far. Roald's name could possibly come from Roald Amundsen, the first person to reach Antarctica, the natural habitat of Adelie penguins. His name could also have come from the fact of "Roald" rhyming with "Cold", the temperature of the natural habitat of penguins. His initial phrase is a reference to the cold, as w
