Has Captain Robert Falcon Scott Reached the South Pole Today?
EDITORS COMMENTS
, read the headline of the article in The Sphere magazine, published in late December 1911. The front page featured a detailed map of Captain Scott's proposed route across Antarctica, marking his predicted arrival at the South Pole on December 17th. The excitement was palpable as the world held its breath, eagerly awaiting news of Scott's historic achievement. Scott and his team, consisting of Lieutenant Edward Evans, Dr. Edward Wilson, and Petty Officer Tom Crean, had set out from their base camp at Cape Evans on November 1st, determined to be the first humans to reach the geographic South Pole. Their journey had been fraught with challenges, including treacherous ice conditions, extreme weather, and dwindling supplies. As the days passed, the explorers made slow progress, battling against the harsh Antarctic conditions. The world watched with bated breath as they neared their goal, with daily dispatches from the team providing updates on their progress. However, unbeknownst to the world, a different team had already reached the South Pole. Roald Amundsen and his Norwegian expedition had arrived on December 14th, more than a week earlier than Scott's team. Tragically, Scott and his companions would perish on their return journey in March 1912, just 11 miles from their base camp. Despite this tragic outcome, the world continued to follow Scott's journey with great interest, as the map in The Sphere magazine attests. The dream of reaching the South Pole had captured the imagination of people around the world, and Scott's heroic attempt, though ultimately unsuccessful, would go down in history as a testament to human determination and perseverance.
