amundsen took 52 dogs with him to the south pole
Amundsen completed an expedition in 1906, and planned next to 'conquer' the North Pole. In 1909, he learned that the North Pole had already been 'conquered' by Cook and Peary. Amundsen decided to head for the South Pole, and learned Englishman Captain Scott was planning a similar expedition. Amundsen left for the South Pole on 1910 June 3. From these details you could surmise that it took him about four years to complete his plans for his trip to Antarctica.
Since the earth is a sphere (a ball), you can reach anywhere by going either direction from anywhere. But the trip is usually shorter in one direction than in the other. From the Prime Meridian, the trip to North America or South America is shorter if you head out going toward the west.
The trip was 1487 to 1488.

The British explorer Robert Falcon Scott. Scott ultimately reached the pole but died with his team on the return trip.
Robert Scott just did'nt quite manage to reach the south pole before Roald Amundsen.
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. On their return trip, the last members of the Scott expedition were found dead by a relief party two years later in 1913.

On their trip to the South Pole, Roald Amundsen's team encountered some bad weather. They wisely chose to rest in their tents, rather than exhaust themselves and risk frostbite slogging through the howling storm.
Shackleton and his team attempted to reach the South Pole, and turned back at 88 degrees S, due to their instincts to survive.The Nimrod expedition (1907-1909) established a goal of 'reaching the pole', which was taken up by Roald Amundsen and Captain Robert F Scott in the upcoming years.
opj.
A Norwegian, Erling Kagge made the first solo journey to the South Pole in 1993.
He was 30
Amundsen lost no team members on the expedition that he led.
Well one big thing was that Ronald Amundsen didn't die on his way back. There was more interactiveness, and Ronald Amundsen had a much more victorious trip, if you ask me.
