EDITORS COMMENTS
"This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph for Roald Amundsen's Norwegian Antarctic Expedition of 1910-1912 as they reached the South Pole on December 14, 1911. In the image, Lieutenant Helmer Hansen stands proudly next to his sledge and dog team, with the Norwegian flag planted firmly in the snow behind him. The team's arrival at the pole marked a significant achievement in human exploration, as Amundsen and his men became the first to reach the geographic South Pole, beating their rivals, the British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition led by Robert Falcon Scott, by just over a month. The harsh and unforgiving Antarctic landscape is evident in the background, with its barren, icy terrain stretching out in every direction. The determination and resilience of Amundsen and his team are palpable in this iconic image, which stands as a testament to the human spirit of discovery and exploration." This photograph, taken on December 17, 1911, shows Lt. Helmer Hansen of the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition standing with his sledge, dog team, and the Norwegian flag at the South Pole.

This image is an important piece of Antarctic exploration history and a testament to the human spirit of discovery.
