It was Roald Amundsen who set out from the Bay of Whales and used dog teams for the entire journey, unlike Scott who man-hauled his sledges and who had only four sets of skis for five men, starting from McMurdo Sound and taking the extremely difficult route up the Beardmore Glacier.

I recommend the book "The Worst Journey in the World" for a very moving account of the Scott expedition. It was written by the man who found the bodies of Scott, Wilson and Bowers.
