Roald Amundsen.
Amundsen went to Antarctica to locate the South Pole. 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 reached the South Pole 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.
Amundsen sailed twice to Antarctica, once with the Belgica Expedition in 1887 and again in 1910 with his South Pole Expedition.
