The South Pole - An Account of the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition in the Fram, 1910–1912

On 14 December 1911, Roald Amundsen (1872–1928) and his Norwegian team became the first humans to reach the South Pole, a month before their ill-fated British rivals. Reissued here is the 1912 English translation of Amundsen's two-volume illustrated account of how this extraordinary and perilous feat was achieved.
