EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map illustrates the harrowing journey of two legendary polar expeditions led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott of the British team and Roald Amundsen of the Norwegian team, as they raced towards the South Pole in 1911 and 1912. The map highlights the vastly different routes taken by each team, with Scott's expedition (marked in red) facing numerous challenges due to unusually bad weather, while Amundsen's team (marked in blue) was able to make faster progress in comparative sunshine and warmth. The British team, which included five sledging parties, set out from their base camp at Cape Evans on August 1, 1911. However, they were soon beset by treacherous weather conditions, including blizzards, high winds, and extreme cold. The team's progress was significantly delayed, and they were forced to make several detours to find suitable campsites and secure enough food and fuel for their journey. In contrast, Amundsen's team, which had set out from their base camp at the Bay of Whales on October 17, 1911, faced far fewer weather-related challenges. They were able to make good time, and on December 14, 1911, Amundsen and his team became the first humans to reach the South Pole. Tragically, Scott and his team arrived at the pole on January 17, 1912, only to find Amundsen's team had already left. Scott and his men perished on their return journey due to a combination of exhaustion, starvation, and extreme cold. This map serves as a poignant reminder of the brutal conditions faced by polar explorers during this era, and the role that weather played in determining the outcome of this historic race to the South Pole.
