Baksidestext: At the beginning of the twentieth century, the South Pole was the most coveted prize in the fiercely nationalistic modern age of exploration. In the spring of 1911 two separate expeditions left their respective camps in Antarctica in a desperate bid to achieve the glory of being the first to reach the South Pole: a British party, led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott, and a Norwegian one under Captain Roald Amundsen. The South Pole - Amundsen's first-hand account of the expedition - is a gripping and highly readable narrative that captures the driving ambitions of the era.
