Roald Amundsen did not reach the North Pole; he is best known for being the first to reach the South Pole in 1911. His famous expedition aimed at the North Pole was eventually overshadowed by Robert Peary's disputed claim to have reached it in 1909. Amundsen later successfully navigated the Northwest Passage and continued his polar explorations until his disappearance in 1928 during a rescue mission in the Arctic.

That would depend on your definition of "reach". 1773: Captain James Cook became the first person to cross the Antarctic Circle. 1820: The Antarctic continent was first seen by human eyes. Historians have disagreed on who those eyes belonged to; at least one possible claimant is believed to have seen land but mistaken it for ice at the time. Credit for being the first man to see the continent has been divided between three men who made separate voyages to Antarctica that year: Fabian von Bellingshausen, a captain in the Russian Imperial Navy; Edward Bransfield, a captain in the British navy; Nathaniel Brown Palmer, an American sealer. 1840: Frenchman Jules-Sébastien-César Dumont d'Urville became the first person to set foot on Antarctica. (Some historians believe that John Davis, an American sealer, may have set foot on the Antarctic Peninsula in 1821, but even he was unsure if he landed on the continent itself or a nearby island.)
