Roald Amundsen got to the South Pole 1st and just a month later, Robert Falcon Scot made it to the South Pole but sadly died on his journey back because of the cold and hunger.
Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott both explored Antarctica at the same time in 1911. Amundsen was aware of Scott's objective, but Scott was not aware that Amundsen was right behind him. Roald Amundsen got there first on 14th of December, 1911. Amundsen reported that he saw no sign of Scott. Scott reached the South Pole on 17th of January, 1912, acknowledging in his diary that Amundsen had got there a month earlier. The last members of the Scott expedition was found dead by a relief party two years later in 1913.
16 men and one dog were the first to fly over the North Pole on May 12th 1926. They thought they were actually the second to fly over the pole as Richard Byrd claimed to have done it three days earlier, but this was later discovered to be falsified. They were the crew of the Airship Norge and were, Umberto Nobile, Roald Amundsen, Lincoln Ellsworth, Oscar Wisting, 1st Lt. Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen, 1st Lt. Emil Horgen, Capt. Birger Gottwaldt, Dr Finn Malmgren, Fredrik Ramm, Frithjof Storm-Johnsen, Flying Lt. Oscar Omdal, Chief Mechanic Cecioni, Rigger Alesandrini, and Motor-Mechanics Arduino, Caratti and Pomella.

It is well known that Santa Claus (aka Kris Kringle) lives in the North Pole, Canada and the postal code for the North Pole is H0H 0H0, sometimes written incorrectly as HO HO HO. It is equally well known that mail addressed to Santa Claus or Mr Kringle as follows: Santa Claus North Pole H0H 0H0 CANADA by December 1st each year is guaranteed delivery by Canada Post to the one, true, Santa Clause who will send a written reply by return post. I trust there will be no more unfortunate mistakes such a the spurious claim that Santa Claus lives in the United States? Thenk Yew.
