Scientists propose theories about the health of planet earth and qualify for grants from organizations interested in the same topics. A scientist who is a principle investigator travels to the continent to establish the study parameters there, and may remain to conduct some studies.
Antarctica is a continent dedicated to science. Governments involved in the Antarctic Treaty -- representing about 80% of the population of the planet -- fund research to study the health of planet earth.
They survive by living in specially designed housing structures and wearing specialised clothing. Also because humans are warm blooded and lose heat very quickly in freezing temperatures, they have to eat a diet extreamely high in calories to give their bodies enough energy to keep warm.
Once he was safely en route, Amundsen was not shy about sending word that he was bound for the South Pole. He wanted to be part of the team that was first to set foot in this geography, and he was successful in December 2010.
roald went to Antarctica to find the south pole.
All science in Antarctica answers questions about the health of planet earth.
We are trying very hard to not make an impact in that area. To do so requires a fair amount of extra effort.
There are special treaties that are in place to ensure minimal impact.
because there is always more to find out about Antarctica and they love looking all the interesting particles from ice water and dirt.
So that they can get money.
he was the first man to reach the south-pole
to antartica
adventurous and like a movie
Amundsen's team was five, and included fifty-two dogs when they set out on 19 October 1911 to be the first to set foot at the South Pole.
Roald amundsen wanted to explore because he wanted to locate the south pole
Roald Amundsen trekked to the South Pole, and in fact, was the first human to do so.
Roald Amundsen's team spent 1910, 1911 and part of 1912 in Antarctica. As well, Amundsen was also part of an exploratory team in Antarctica in 1897-1899.
because he made it to antarctica

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.
After Douglas Mawson, Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott went to Antarctica
he wanted to be the first man to discover antarctica
he was the first man to reach the south-pole
to antartica
Do you mean why was he trying to go to Antarctica? Well, he went to Antarctica because he was racing Roald Amundsen. When Robert Falcon Scott arrived at Antarctica he sooner realized that Rolad Amundsen left Antarctica 34 days before.
