EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration presents a historic moment in the annals of polar exploration: the Amundsen Antarctic Expedition team, led by Roald Amundsen, reaching the South Pole on December 14, 1911. In this image, five intrepid explorers are seen meticulously checking their position at the pole using a sextant and an artificial horizon. The team, consisting of Roald Amundsen, Olav Bjaaland, Helmer Hanssen, Sverre Hassel, and Kristian Birkeland, had become the first humans to accomplish this remarkable feat. The year was 1911, and the race to the South Pole between Amundsen and the British team led by Robert Falcon Scott was at its climax. Amundsen's team had reached the pole over a month earlier than their rivals, making history with their groundbreaking achievement. The use of a sextant and an artificial horizon was essential for the team to determine their precise location and confirm their triumphant arrival at the South Pole. This technique allowed them to measure the angle between the celestial bodies and the horizon, enabling them to calculate their latitude and longitude. This illustration is a testament to the determination, innovation, and perseverance of the Amundsen Antarctic Expedition team. Their pioneering journey opened up a new chapter in the exploration of the Antarctic continent and expanded the boundaries of human knowledge and achievement. This historical image, taken in December 1912, stands as a symbol of human curiosity and the indomitable spirit of adventure that continues to drive us to explore the unknown corners of our world.
