Amundsen Antarctic Members Pole Pulling Roald Sledge
EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration transports us back to the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, specifically to Roald Amundsen's groundbreaking expedition of 1910-1912. The image showcases one of the intrepid team members skillfully skiing alongside his sledge, making steady progress towards the elusive South Pole. The harsh, icy terrain is softened by the presence of a team of loyal and hardworking huskies, their powerful forms straining as they pull the sledge, laden with supplies, forward. Amundsen's team, consisting of 17 men and approximately 52 dogs, set out to be the first to reach the South Pole, and their determination is palpable in this evocative scene. The date of the image is 1912, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into the arduous journey that Amundsen and his team undertook, braving the extreme conditions and enduring countless challenges to make history. This illustration is a testament to their indomitable spirit and unwavering resolve, and serves as a reminder of the incredible feats that can be achieved through perseverance and determination.
