Polar Exploration

Roald Amundsen's discovery of the South Pole in 1911 had a significant impact on polar exploration by showcasing the capabilities of careful planning, adapting to extreme conditions, and utilizing teamwork. It also solidified Norway's reputation as a pioneering nation in exploration, inspiring future generations of adventurers. Additionally, the successful expedition enhanced international understanding of Antarctica's geography and spurred further scientific research in the region.

Some of the equipment used on Ernest Shackleton's expeditions included sled dogs, sledges, tents, clothing made of reindeer fur, snow goggles, ice axes, and specialized cookware for melting ice into water. Additionally, they also used navigation tools like compasses and sextants to chart their course.

Both respective explorer teams left their native countries in 1910.

Robert Falcon Scott led the Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole and reached the pole on January 17, 1912. However, he discovered that a Norwegian team led by Roald Amundsen had beaten him to the pole by a month. Scott and his team tragically perished on their return journey.

Figuratively. While explorer Robert Peary is remembered for reaching the North Pole, he did not achieve literal immortality as he died in 1920. His legacy lives on through his expeditions and accomplishments in polar exploration.

Ernest Shackleton was knighted and became Sir Ernest Shackleton in 1909.

Roald Amundsen reached Antarctica first on December 14, 1911, becoming the first person to reach the South Pole. Robert Falcon Scott arrived about a month later on January 17, 1912, only to discover that Amundsen had beaten him to the pole.

Only human animals.

Humans can live and work at 'pole' for up to 12 months before being required to leave Antarctica.


There are no animal experiments conducted at 'pole', unlike other research stations closer to the sea, where some animals, especially fish, are captured, studied and then released back into their native habitat.

Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition lasted from 1914 to 1917, lasting approximately three years.

the climate of this region is very dangerous with hurricanes and blizzards blowing people who travel here can not bear the cold and often get the frost bite can be so sever los there limbs becaus of their extrme weather

Robert Falcon Scott and four members of his team (Edward Wilson, Henry Bowers, Lawrence Oates, and Edgar Evans) died during the British Antarctic Expedition of 1912.

William Baffin, an English navigator and explorer, is believed to have died in 1622 from wounds sustained during a naval battle with French ships near the coast of Greenland. His exact cause of death is uncertain, but it is widely accepted that he died from injuries sustained during the battle.

Richard E. Byrd Jr. attended Shenandoah Valley Academy in Virginia as a child.

Yes, Robert Falcon Scott was considered brave for leading expeditions to the Antarctic, including the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole in 1912. Despite facing harsh conditions and ultimately perishing on his return journey, his determination and courage in the face of adversity were widely admired.

I take it you are asking about airplane landings.

On Oct. 31, 1956, a U.S. Navy R4D airplane that had been christened Que Sera Sera, and piloted by Lt. Cmdr. Conrad C. 'Gus' Shinn, landed at the South Pole, becoming the first to land there.

he lead an expedition to find a way through the north west passage none returned later graves and were found the anser they came up with was food poisoning because this was the first expedition to take tinned food also signs of cannibalism were discovered on bones they got permission to exhume abody of one of the sailors and because of the thermafrost his body was still intact so they were able to take samples and return the in its original state i have seen the photos and they are truly remarkable

he was the first man to reach furthest south he became very famous wrote a very popular book about it and gave his country glory (Brittan), until another country beat his record. After that Shackleton set out another expedition to be the first one to cross the Antarctic, and to come back with each of his crew members alive. he did not cross the Antarctic but everyone survived.

Shackleton's expedition to Antarctica in 1914-1917 included supplies such as sled dogs, sledges, clothing, instruments, tents, food, and communication devices. They also brought boats, navigational tools, medical supplies, and a variety of other equipment needed for survival in the harsh Antarctic conditions.

Sir Ernest Shackleton is best known for leading the ill-fated British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1917), in which his ship, the Endurance, was trapped and eventually crushed by ice, leaving Shackleton and his crew stranded on the Antarctic ice. Despite facing extreme conditions and incredible odds, Shackleton successfully led all members of his expedition to safety, making it one of the greatest survival stories in history.

Captain Robert Falcon Scott was a Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the Discovery Expedition, 1901-04, and the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition, 1910-13. He was one of the first explorer to travel to the artic. His writings about the artic has been verified by modern expeditions and turned to be true.
