Título: South Pole Expedition, Norwegian Flag, 1911
Descripción: Ver traducción automática
Amundsen, Helmer Hanssen, Sverre Hassel and Oscar Wisting stand by the tent they erected at the South Pole on December 16, 1911. The first expedition to reach the geographic South Pole was led by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. He and four others arrived at the pole on December 14, 1911, five weeks ahead of a British party led by Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova Expedition. Amundsen and his team returned safely to their base, and later learned that Scott and his four companions had died on their return journey. They planted the Norwegian flag and named the polar plateau "King Haakon VII's Plateau". Amundsen later reflected on the irony of his achievement: "Never has a man achieved a goal so diametrically opposed to his wishes. The area around the North Pole, devil take it, had fascinated me since childhood, and now here I was at the South Pole. Could anything be more crazy?" Photographed by Olav Bjaaland.
