the race began in the summer of 1910.00:00:16
on June 1st in London a black ship the00:00:21
Terra Nova00:00:23
Went Down the River Thames00:00:25
to the Sea00:00:28
thousands of people stood by the river00:00:30
to watch it00:00:33
they were all excited00:00:35
and happy00:00:39
on the Terra Nova00:00:41
Captain Robert Falcon Scott00:00:45
smiled quietly00:00:47
it was a very important day for him00:00:53
he was a strong man00:00:55
not very tall00:00:57
in the blue clothes of a captain00:01:01
he was 41 years old00:01:05
but he had a young face00:01:08
like a boy00:01:10
his eyes were dark and quiet00:01:16
one man on the ship00:01:18
Titus Oates00:01:20
smiled at Scott00:01:24
what an exciting day captain00:01:26
he said00:01:28
look at those people00:01:31
I feel like an important man00:01:36
Scott laughed00:01:38
you are important Titus he said00:01:42
and you're going to be famous too00:01:46
we all are00:01:49
do you see this flag00:01:53
he looked at the big British flag at the00:01:56
back of the ship00:01:58
and smiled at oats00:02:01
that flag is coming with us00:02:04
he said00:02:06
in the Antarctic00:02:08
I'm going to carry it under my clothes00:02:12
we're going to be the first men at the00:02:15
South Pole00:02:17
and that flag is going to be first too00:02:24
five days later00:02:26
on June 6th00:02:28
a man opened the door of his wooden00:02:31
house in Norway00:02:34
he was a tall man with a long face00:02:40
he waited outside the house for a minute00:02:44
everything was very quiet00:02:48
you could see no houses00:02:50
only mountains trees00:02:53
and water00:02:56
it was nearly dark00:02:59
the sky was black over the mountains00:03:04
the man smiled00:03:06
and walked quickly away from the house00:03:09
down to the Sea00:03:12
in the water00:03:14
a big wooden ship waited for him00:03:18
the man got onto the ship00:03:21
and talked and laughed quietly with his00:03:24
friends00:03:26
the ship's name was Fram00:03:30
and the man was ruled amundsen00:03:35
the Fram was the most beautiful ship on00:03:38
Earth amundsen thought00:03:42
his friends were the best skiers on00:03:45
Earth too00:03:48
one of them00:03:50
ulath bioland00:03:51
smiled at him00:03:54
North Pole here we come captain00:03:58
he said00:04:00
yes amundsen said00:04:03
his friends could not see his face in00:04:06
the dark00:04:08
Fram is going to the Arctic00:04:14
everyone on the Fram was ready to go to00:04:17
the North Pole to the Arctic00:04:22
amundsen wanted to go there too00:04:25
but first he wanted to go south00:04:30
his friends didn't know that00:04:34
at midnight on June 6th00:04:38
the Fram moved quietly away from00:04:41
amundsen's House00:04:43
out to sea00:04:51
chapter 2.00:04:52
the race00:04:55
the Fram went to an island in the south00:04:59
of Norway00:05:01
it was a very little island with only00:05:04
one small wooden house00:05:07
two trees00:05:09
and nearly a hundred dogs00:05:13
look at that the Allen said00:05:17
it's an island of dogs00:05:20
there are dogs in the water00:05:22
near the trees on the house00:05:26
dogs everywhere00:05:29
two men came out of the house00:05:32
hold Lindstrom00:05:35
amundsen said00:05:37
it's good to see you00:05:40
how many dogs do you have for me00:05:43
99 Royal said hassle00:05:46
the best 99 dogs from Greenland00:05:50
and they're very happy00:05:52
they don't work they just eat and play00:05:56
all day00:05:58
they're having a wonderful summer here00:06:03
amundsen laughed00:06:05
but that's finished now00:06:08
hey your land00:06:10
stop laughing00:06:11
come down here and help me00:06:14
let's get all these dogs onto the ship00:06:18
it was not easy00:06:21
the dogs were fat and strong00:06:24
and they didn't want to go on the ship00:06:28
but at last after three hours hard work00:06:32
all 99 were on the ship00:06:36
and the Fram went out to sea again00:06:41
the men were not happy00:06:44
the weather was bad00:06:46
the dogs were dirty00:06:48
and some of the men were ill00:06:51
they began to ask questions00:06:55
why are we bringing dogs with us asked00:06:59
to a man you Hansen00:07:01
we're going thousands of kilometers00:07:03
South past Cape Horn and then North to00:07:07
Alaska00:07:09
why not wait and get dogs in Alaska00:07:15
don't ask me said his friend Helmer00:07:18
Hansen00:07:19
I don't understand it00:07:23
the man talked for a long time00:07:26
then on September 9th00:07:29
amundsen called everyone to the back of00:07:32
the ship00:07:34
he stood quietly and looked at them00:07:38
behind him was a big map00:07:41
it was not a map of the Arctic00:07:45
it was a map of Antarctica00:07:49
theorland looked at Helmer Hansen and00:07:53
laughed00:07:55
then amundsen began to speak00:07:59
boys he said00:08:01
I know you are unhappy00:08:05
you often ask me difficult questions00:08:08
and I don't answer00:08:12
well00:08:13
I'm going to answer all those questions00:08:16
now00:08:17
today00:08:19
we began to work for this journey two00:08:23
years ago00:08:24
then we wanted to be the first men at00:08:29
the North Pole00:08:31
that last year Perry an American found00:08:36
the North Pole00:08:38
so America was first to the North Pole00:08:42
not Norway00:08:45
we're going there00:08:47
but we're too late00:08:51
I don't understand this we all unthought00:08:55
why is amundsen talking about the North00:08:59
Pole00:09:00
with a map of Antarctica behind him00:09:05
amundsen stopped for a minute00:09:08
and looked at all the men slowly00:09:12
no one said anything00:09:16
we have to go a long way South before we00:09:20
get to Alaska he said00:09:23
very near Antarctica you know00:09:28
and Captain Scott the Englishman00:09:31
is going to the South Pole this year00:09:36
he wants to put his British flag there00:09:39
an American flag at the North Pole a00:09:43
British flag at the South Pole00:09:47
your land began to understand00:09:51
he started to smile and couldn't stop00:09:55
he was warm and excited00:10:00
well boys00:10:02
amundsen said slowly00:10:05
do we want the British to put their flag00:10:07
at the South Pole first00:10:10
how fast can we travel00:10:14
we have a lot of dogs00:10:16
and some of the most wonderful scares on00:10:19
Earth00:10:21
we all land here is the best in Norway00:10:25
so I have an idea boys00:10:29
let's go to the South Pole and put the00:10:34
Norwegian flag there before the British00:10:38
what do you say00:10:42
for a minute or two00:10:44
it was very quiet00:10:47
amundsen waited00:10:49
and the men watched him and thought00:10:54
then beyond laughed00:10:57
yes he said why not00:11:00
it's a ski race isn't it and the English00:11:04
can't ski00:11:06
it's a wonderful idea of course00:11:10
let's go00:11:17
chapter three00:11:19
the ponies00:11:22
on October 27th00:11:25
the Terra Nova arrived in Wellington New00:11:28
Zealand00:11:30
when Scott came off the ship00:11:33
a newspaper man walked up to him00:11:37
Captain Scott00:11:39
Captain Scott00:11:40
can I talk to you please00:11:43
he said00:11:45
Scott stopped and smiled00:11:48
yes of course00:11:50
he said00:11:51
what do you want to know00:11:54
are you going to win00:11:56
the man asked00:11:58
when00:12:00
Scott asked00:12:02
when what00:12:04
win the race to the South Pole of course00:12:08
the newspaper man said00:12:11
it's a race between you and amundsen now00:12:15
look at this00:12:18
he gave a newspaper to Scott00:12:21
looked at it00:12:24
said00:12:26
Fram races Scott to South Pole00:12:30
we're going to win says amundsen00:12:35
Scott's face went white00:12:39
give me that00:12:41
he said00:12:43
he took the newspaper and read it00:12:45
carefully00:12:47
the newspaper man watched him and waited00:12:52
well Captain Scott00:12:55
he said at last00:12:57
who's going to win this race00:13:00
tell me that00:13:03
Scott looked at him angrily00:13:05
this is stupid00:13:08
he said00:13:09
it's not a race00:13:12
I came here to learn about the Antarctic00:13:16
I'm not interested in amundsen or in00:13:20
races00:13:22
then he walked back onto his ship00:13:26
with the newspaper in his hand00:13:31
later that day00:13:33
he talked to his men00:13:36
he gave them the newspaper00:13:38
and laughed00:13:41
it doesn't matter00:13:43
he said00:13:44
we're in front of amundsen00:13:47
and we have more men and more money00:13:52
he has only eight men and a lot of dogs00:13:57
I know about dogs00:14:00
they don't work in the Antarctic00:14:03
we have 16 men and the new motor sledges00:14:09
they are much better00:14:11
and tomorrow the ponies are coming00:14:14
we need ponies00:14:16
motor sledges and good strong British00:14:20
men00:14:21
that's all00:14:23
forget about amundsen00:14:25
he is not important00:14:29
Scott asked Oates to look after the00:14:32
ponies00:14:34
but he did not let oats buy them00:14:38
when Oates first saw the ponies in New00:14:42
Zealand00:14:43
he was very unhappy00:14:46
most of the ponies were old00:14:49
and some of them were ill00:14:53
they're beautiful ponies Titus00:14:56
Scott said00:14:57
they come from China00:15:00
they're wonderful ponies00:15:03
oats looked at them angrily00:15:06
and said nothing00:15:10
then he asked00:15:13
where is their food captain00:15:16
yeah00:15:17
Scott opened a door00:15:20
oats looked inside00:15:23
he thought for a minute00:15:26
we need more food than this Captain00:15:29
Scott00:15:31
these Ponies are going to work in the00:15:34
coldest place on Earth00:15:37
they need a lot of food00:15:40
more than this00:15:43
Scott smiled quietly00:15:47
we can't take more food on this ship00:15:49
Titus00:15:51
where can we put it00:15:54
but it doesn't matter old boy00:15:57
they're very strong ponies you know00:16:01
the best ponies on Earth00:16:06
later that night00:16:08
Oates wrote a letter to his mother00:16:12
there are 19 ponies on the Terra Nova00:16:15
now he wrote00:16:18
all the ponies are in a small room at00:16:22
the front of the ship00:16:25
we eat our food in the room under the00:16:28
ponies00:16:30
so our table is often wet and dirty00:16:35
Scott makes a lot of mistakes I think00:16:40
and Antarctica00:16:42
is a very dangerous place00:16:50
chapter 4.00:16:53
food depots00:16:56
the two ships00:16:58
Terra Nova and Fram00:17:01
arrived in Antarctica in January 1911.00:17:06
at the end of summer00:17:10
the Englishman and the Norwegians wanted00:17:13
to stay on the ice all winter00:17:17
they wanted to be ready to go to the00:17:20
South Pole at the beginning of the next00:17:23
Antarctic summer00:17:26
the dogs pulled the Norwegians sledges00:17:31
they rang quickly over the snow00:17:34
and pulled the big sledges from the ship00:17:37
onto the ice00:17:39
the man ran beside them on skis00:17:45
they put a big wooden house on the ice00:17:50
the house was full of food and skis and00:17:54
sledges00:17:56
they called it00:17:58
framheim00:18:01
outside the house00:18:03
the dogs lived in holes under the snow00:18:08
when the house was ready00:18:11
the men made their first journey South00:18:16
before the winter00:18:18
they wanted to take a lot of food South00:18:23
and leave it in depots00:18:27
for the long journey to the pole they00:18:30
needed a lot of food00:18:33
and they couldn't carry it all with them00:18:38
on February 10th00:18:40
five men00:18:42
three sledges00:18:44
18 dogs00:18:46
and half a ton of food00:18:48
left framheim and went South00:18:53
it was easy00:18:56
the weather was warm for the Antarctic00:18:58
between -7 degrees centigrade and minus00:19:02
17 degrees Centigrade00:19:05
the snow was good00:19:08
and the dogs and skis went fast00:19:12
they went 50 or 60 kilometers every day00:19:18
after four days they reached 80 degrees00:19:22
south00:19:23
and made the first Depot00:19:29
amundsen made his Depot very carefully00:19:33
it was very important to find it again00:19:36
next summer00:19:39
so he put a big black flag on top00:19:44
then he put 10 Flags to the east of the00:19:48
depot00:19:49
each flag half a kilometer from the next00:19:54
and 10 Flags to the West00:19:58
so there were flags for five kilometers00:20:01
to the left of the depot00:20:04
and five kilometers to the right00:20:10
then they went back to framheim00:20:13
and took some more food South00:20:17
this time to 82 degrees south00:20:23
this time it was harder00:20:26
the temperature was sometimes minus 4000:20:30
degrees Centigrade00:20:32
and there were strong winds with a lot00:20:36
of snow00:20:38
the dogs and men were very tired00:20:42
and the tents and boots were bad00:20:46
at the second Depot00:20:48
they put out 60 Flags to help them find00:20:52
it again00:20:55
they came back to framheim on March 23rd00:21:00
it was nearly winter in the Antarctic00:21:03
their ship Fram was far away now near00:21:07
South America00:21:10
they were alone on the ice00:21:15
oats went with Scott to make the first00:21:18
British Depot00:21:21
they left Cape Evans on January 25th00:21:26
there were 13 men00:21:28
eight ponies00:21:30
and 26 dogs00:21:34
the dogs were faster than the ponies00:21:37
they ran quickly over the top of the00:21:40
snow00:21:41
but the pony's feet went through it00:21:45
every morning the pony started first00:21:49
and the dogs started two hours later00:21:53
because they ran faster00:21:57
at night the dogs made warm holes under00:22:01
the snow00:22:03
but the ponies stood on top of the snow00:22:07
it was minus 20 degrees centigrade00:22:12
after 15 days00:22:14
oats talked to Scott00:22:18
there was a strong wind00:22:20
and the two men's faces were white with00:22:22
snow00:22:25
three of the ponies are ill captain00:22:29
Oates said00:22:31
they can't go on00:22:35
don't be stupid odds Scott answered00:22:39
they're good strong animals00:22:42
the best ponies on Earth00:22:45
not these three oats said00:22:49
they're ill and unhappy and now they00:22:53
can't walk00:22:55
let's kill them and leave the meat here00:22:58
in the snow00:23:00
we can eat it or the dogs can00:23:05
snot00:23:06
Scott said angrily00:23:08
these Ponies are our friends they work00:23:12
hard for us00:23:14
I don't kill my friends00:23:19
three days later00:23:21
two of the ponies were dead00:23:25
Scots men were slower than amundsen's00:23:29
it took them 24 days to get to 8000:23:33
degrees south00:23:36
they made a big Depot there00:23:39
and put one large black flag on top of00:23:43
it00:23:44
then they went back to Cape Evans00:23:49
their Camp was on an island in the ice00:23:53
and the sea ice moved sometimes00:23:57
there were holes in the ice00:23:59
and black sea water under it00:24:04
one day00:24:05
seven ponies went through the ice into00:24:08
the sea and died00:24:13
one motor Sledge also went into the sea00:24:22
chapter 500:24:24
a long cold winter00:24:28
it was dark for four months00:24:32
outside the wooden house at framheim00:24:36
it was often minus 60 degrees Centigrade00:24:42
the dogs lived in warm holes under the00:24:45
snow00:24:47
the men stayed in the house00:24:50
and worked in their rooms under the snow00:24:55
skis and sledges came from the best00:24:58
shops in Norway00:25:01
but beyond wasn't happy with them00:25:04
he changed a lot of things on the skis00:25:07
and sledges00:25:10
soon the sledges were stronger than00:25:13
before00:25:14
the skis were better and faster too00:25:20
all the Norwegians worked hard00:25:24
they looked after their dogs00:25:26
and worked on their equipment00:25:28
the sledges skis00:25:31
tents00:25:33
every day they thought about their00:25:36
Journey to the pole and talked about it00:25:40
and every day00:25:42
amundsen thought about Scott00:25:46
one day in mid-winter00:25:48
he talked to his men00:25:52
let's start early before Scott00:25:56
amundsen said00:25:57
remember00:25:59
Scott has more men than us and he has00:26:03
motor sledges too00:26:05
perhaps they can go faster than us00:26:09
the Orland laughed00:26:11
oh no00:26:12
they can't go faster than me he said00:26:16
on snow nothing can go faster than a00:26:19
good man on skis00:26:23
we don't know00:26:24
amundsen said00:26:26
you're the best skier in Norway00:26:29
but you get tired and dogs get tired too00:26:34
motor sledges don't get tired00:26:38
they can go all day and all night00:26:42
you Hansen laughed angrily00:26:45
that's stupid00:26:47
he said00:26:48
perhaps the motor sledges can go all00:26:51
night00:26:52
but the Englishman can't00:26:55
the English can't win ruled00:26:58
they don't understand snow00:27:01
but we do00:27:03
and they're too slow00:27:07
perhaps amundsen said00:27:10
but I want to win this race00:27:13
so we're going to start early00:27:17
do you understand00:27:20
it was quiet and warm inside framheim00:27:24
we all learned looked at amundsen00:27:27
and thought about the long cold journey00:27:30
in front of him00:27:33
he thought about the dogs in their holes00:27:35
under the snow00:27:37
and listened to the wind over the house00:27:43
when ruled00:27:45
he said quietly00:27:47
on August 24th the Sun comes back on00:27:52
that day00:27:53
we start then00:27:57
but we can't you Hansen said00:28:01
he looked angry and unhappy00:28:04
that's too early00:28:06
we can't start then00:28:09
it's dangerous and stupid00:28:13
amundsen looked at you Hansen coldly00:28:17
you're wrong you're handsome he said00:28:21
we want to win remember00:28:24
so we start on August 24th00:28:29
we all learned listen to the Winter Wind00:28:32
outside00:28:36
in Scott's camp at Cape Evans00:28:40
no one talked about amundsen00:28:43
and no one worked hard00:28:46
they had good food00:28:49
and they played football on the snow00:28:52
they wrote a newspaper00:28:54
the South polar times00:28:57
and read books00:29:00
no one learned to ski00:29:02
no one worked on the motor sledges00:29:06
twice men went for long Journeys across00:29:09
the snow00:29:11
they walked and pulled the sledges00:29:13
themselves00:29:15
Oates stayed at Cape Evans and looked00:29:18
after his ponies00:29:21
over the window in Cape Evans00:29:24
Scott put a map of Antarctica00:29:28
with a pen he made a line from Cape00:29:32
Evans to the South Pole00:29:34
and he put a little British flag at the00:29:38
pole00:29:40
under the map00:29:41
Scott wrote the day for the start of00:29:44
their Journey00:29:46
we start on November 3rd00:29:50
he wrote00:29:55
chapter 6.00:29:57
a bad start00:30:01
on August 23rd00:30:03
the Norwegian sledges were ready00:30:06
they took them outside00:30:08
and the dogs pulled them across the ice00:30:13
the sun came up for half an hour00:30:16
but it was too cold00:30:18
minus 46 degrees Centigrade00:30:22
they could not travel in that weather00:30:26
they went back to franheim00:30:28
and waited00:30:31
they waited two weeks00:30:34
until September 8th00:30:37
then00:30:38
with the temperature at -37 degrees00:30:41
Centigrade00:30:42
they started00:30:45
they ran happily across the snow to the00:30:48
South00:30:49
eight men00:30:50
seven sledges00:30:52
and 86 dogs00:30:55
only Lindstrom the cook stayed behind in00:30:59
framheim00:31:02
at first everything went well00:31:05
they went 28 kilometers on Saturday00:31:09
and 28 kilometers on Sunday00:31:12
it was easy00:31:14
then on Monday00:31:17
the temperature went down to minus 5600:31:20
degrees Centigrade00:31:22
there was white fog in front of their00:31:25
faces00:31:26
they couldn't see anything00:31:30
but they traveled 28 kilometers00:31:35
that night in their tents they nearly00:31:38
died of cold00:31:41
next day they stopped and made snow00:31:44
houses00:31:46
inside the snow houses it was warm00:31:50
but everyone was unhappy00:31:53
I told you rawald you Hansen said00:31:57
even September is too early00:32:01
we can't travel in this cold00:32:04
do you want us to die00:32:07
let's go back and wait for better00:32:10
weather00:32:12
amundsen was very angry00:32:15
he was angry with you Hansen but he was00:32:18
angry with himself too00:32:21
he knew Johansson was right00:32:25
all right he said slowly00:32:29
we can go on to the depot at 80 degrees00:32:32
south leave the food there and then go00:32:36
back00:32:38
we can't do more than that00:32:42
it was 37 kilometers to the depot00:32:46
the wind was in their faces all day00:32:50
two dogs died on the way00:32:54
at the Depot they did not stop00:32:58
they put out the food and the flags00:33:01
turned round and went North00:33:06
at last the wind was behind them00:33:09
the dogs rang quickly and the man sat on00:33:12
the empty sledges they went faster and00:33:15
faster00:33:16
it was like a race00:33:18
amundsen was on visting Sledge and soon00:33:21
he visiting and Hansen were three or00:33:23
four kilometers in front00:33:25
soon they were alone00:33:27
they traveled 75 kilometers in nine00:33:30
hours00:33:31
and they reached framheim at four00:33:34
o'clock that afternoon00:33:37
we all land arrived two hours later with00:33:41
two more men00:33:43
but the last two you Hansen and prestude00:33:47
went more slowly00:33:50
their dogs were tired00:33:52
their feet were wet and cold00:33:54
they had no food00:33:56
and they were alone in the dark00:34:01
the temperature was minus 51 degrees00:34:04
Centigrade00:34:06
they reached framheim at midnight00:34:12
next morning Johansson was angry00:34:16
in front of everyone he said00:34:19
you were wrong ruiled00:34:22
September was too early00:34:25
I told you but you didn't listen00:34:29
and then you left us alone00:34:32
and we nearly died in the cold00:34:37
you're a bad captain00:34:39
I'm a better Captain than you are00:34:44
amundsen was very angry00:34:47
but at first00:34:49
he said nothing00:34:51
because he knew that you Hansen was00:34:54
right00:34:56
then that evening00:34:59
he gave a letter to you Hansen00:35:02
said00:35:04
you aren't coming to the pole with me00:35:08
when I go south you can take some dogs00:35:11
and go east to King Edward the seventh00:35:14
land00:35:15
you can go with pristrude and stupa rude00:35:19
you can be the first man to go there00:35:22
but not to the South Pole00:35:28
the Norwegians stayed in framheim and00:35:30
waited00:35:32
they lay in bed00:35:34
listened to the wind outside00:35:38
and thought about Scott00:35:40
and his motor sledges00:35:46
chapter 7.00:35:48
motor sledges and mountains00:35:53
Scott had two motor sledges now00:35:56
they were the first motor sledges in the00:35:58
Antarctic00:36:00
the First on Earth00:36:03
on October 24th00:36:05
the motor sledges started south from00:36:07
Cape Evans00:36:10
four men went with them00:36:12
but Scott stayed at Cape Evans for00:36:15
another week00:36:18
oats was unhappy00:36:21
he wrote to his mother00:36:24
we had a very bad winter here00:36:28
I don't like Scott00:36:30
we were here all winter00:36:33
but he didn't learn to ski or to drive00:36:36
dogs00:36:38
our equipment is bad00:36:41
and he doesn't think about other people00:36:45
I'm going to sleep in his tent on the00:36:47
journey00:36:49
but I don't want to00:36:54
on November 1st00:36:55
Scott and Oates and six more men left00:36:59
Cape Evans with eight sledges and eight00:37:02
ponies00:37:05
the ponies walked slowly because their00:37:07
feet went down into the snow00:37:11
it was hard work for them and they got00:37:13
tired very quickly00:37:16
they traveled 13 or 14 kilometers in a00:37:20
day00:37:22
behind the ponies came mirrors with one00:37:26
Sledge and some dogs00:37:29
Mayors knew how to drive dogs00:37:33
every day mere started two hours after00:37:37
the ponies00:37:38
and arrived two hours before them00:37:44
after five days00:37:46
they found the motor sledges00:37:52
the Norwegians began again on October00:37:54
20th00:37:56
there were five men this time00:37:59
amundsen00:38:01
bioland00:38:03
visting00:38:04
parcel00:38:05
and Hansen00:38:08
they had four sledges and 48 dogs00:38:14
there was a lot of wind and fog00:38:18
on the first day00:38:20
vesting Sledge suddenly stopped00:38:23
and the back went down00:38:26
come on you dogs00:38:29
he said angrily00:38:30
bull bull00:38:33
at first nothing happened00:38:36
then slowly00:38:38
the Sledge moved again00:38:41
visting looked down over the side of the00:38:44
Sledge00:38:46
under the snow00:38:47
there was a 50 meter hole00:38:51
did you see that00:38:53
amundsen said00:38:55
the ice wants to eat us men dogs sledges00:39:00
everything00:39:04
on the fourth day they reached the Depot00:39:06
at 80 degrees south00:39:10
there was a bad snowstorm00:39:12
but they found the flags easily00:39:16
next day the men stayed in their tents00:39:19
and the dogs played in their holes under00:39:22
the snow00:39:24
they were all happy00:39:26
they had a lot of food they had good00:39:28
equipment and they were warm they could00:39:31
travel fast00:39:35
morning the snowstorm stopped00:39:38
and the journey began again00:39:42
today everything is wonderful the Orland00:39:46
wrote in his diary00:39:49
but where is Scott00:39:51
in front of us00:39:53
or behind00:39:57
there was no one with the motor sledges00:40:00
they were broken00:40:02
Scott looked at them angrily00:40:06
it doesn't matter00:40:08
he said00:40:09
Teddy Evans and his men are in front of00:40:11
us00:40:12
they're good men00:40:14
they're pulling their sledges themselves00:40:17
we can get to the pole on foot00:40:22
oats looked at mirrors00:40:25
oats and the ponies were tired but Meers00:40:28
and his dogs were not00:40:31
the snow was home for them00:40:34
that night Oates wrote00:40:37
three motor sledges at one thousand00:40:40
pounds each00:40:42
19 ponies at five pounds each00:40:46
32 dogs at one pound fifty each00:40:50
well it's not my money it's Scots00:40:56
on November 21st00:40:59
one of the ponies died00:41:03
on November 11th the Norwegians saw the00:41:07
mountains00:41:09
the mountains were very high00:41:11
some of the highest on Earth00:41:14
the Orland smiled00:41:17
there is good skiing up there ruald he00:41:19
said00:41:20
but can dogs get up there too00:41:23
of course they can amundsen said00:41:27
come on00:41:29
they left Hansen with the dogs00:41:32
and skied a little way up the mountains00:41:35
it was difficult00:41:37
but the mountains were big and beautiful00:41:41
behind the mountains amundsen thought00:41:43
there was a high plateau of ice00:41:47
that's it00:41:49
amundsen said00:41:50
that's the road to the pole00:41:53
tomorrow we can bring the dogs and00:41:56
sludges up here00:41:58
but now00:41:59
let's have a ski race00:42:02
who can get back to Camp first00:42:05
they laughed and skied happily down the00:42:09
white snow00:42:11
this is like home we all learn thought00:42:14
but it's bigger than Norway and better00:42:19
in the next four days00:42:21
the dogs pulled the sledges 8100:42:24
kilometers00:42:25
and went up 3 000 meters00:42:29
at last amundsen and bjorland stood on00:42:33
the plateau behind the mountains00:42:36
they were tired happy men00:42:40
we all learned looked back at the00:42:42
mountains00:42:44
can a motor Sledge get up here00:42:46
he asked00:42:48
amundsen smiled00:42:51
no he said I don't think so00:42:56
and Scott doesn't like dogs00:42:59
so his men are going to pull their00:43:01
sledges up these mountains themselves00:43:04
would you like to do that Olaf00:43:08
we all land didn't answer00:43:11
he smiled and skied happily away across00:43:14
the snow00:43:19
chapter 800:43:21
across the plateau00:43:25
on November 21st00:43:27
the Norwegians killed 30 dogs00:43:31
they were happy amundsen said00:43:33
and now they're going to die quickly00:43:36
we need three sledges and 18 dogs to go00:43:40
to the pole00:43:42
when the dogs were dead the other dogs00:43:45
ate them00:43:46
the men ate them too00:43:49
they were good friends bioland wrote in00:43:52
his diary00:43:53
and now they are good food00:43:57
two days later the dogs were fat00:44:02
then in a snowstorm00:44:04
they began their Journey again00:44:07
after the snowstorm there was fog00:44:10
and in the fog they got lost on an ice00:44:13
River with hundreds of big holes in it00:44:17
they could see nothing00:44:19
and it was very dangerous00:44:22
in four days they moved nine kilometers00:44:28
but the ice is beautiful bioland wrote00:44:32
blue and green and white00:44:35
this is a wonderful place00:44:38
but I don't want to stay a long time00:44:43
after the ice there were strong winds00:44:46
and bad snowstorms00:44:48
they could see nothing in front of them00:44:52
but every day they traveled 25 or 3000:44:55
kilometers00:44:58
then on December 9th the sun came out00:45:03
they were at 88 degrees 23 minutes south00:45:08
175 kilometers from the pole00:45:13
five more long days we Allen wrote00:45:17
that's all now00:45:19
but where is Scott00:45:24
for four days Scott's men stayed in00:45:27
their tents near the mountains00:45:30
there is a bad snowstorm outside Oates00:45:33
wrote00:45:35
it's too cold for the ponies00:45:37
and our clothes and skis are bad too00:45:42
on December 9th oats killed the ponies00:45:46
they were tired and ill and they could00:45:49
not walk up to the plateau00:45:52
their Mayors and his dogs went back to00:45:54
Cape Evans00:45:56
we can pull the sledges ourselves Scott00:45:59
said00:46:00
we can do it we're all strong men00:46:05
there were two sledges and eight men00:46:08
they went 24 kilometers a day00:46:12
on December 31st00:46:15
Scott said to Teddy Evans and the man on00:46:18
the second Sledge00:46:19
you can't ski well leave your skis here00:46:23
so they pulled their Sledge 2400:46:26
kilometers without skis00:46:29
next day00:46:31
Scott went to Teddy evans's tent00:46:34
you're ill Teddy he said00:46:37
you can't come to the poll00:46:39
take two men and go back tomorrow00:46:44
Teddy Evans was very unhappy00:46:47
two men Captain he said00:46:50
why not three00:46:53
because Bowers is going to come with me00:46:55
Scott said be strong we need him00:47:00
but you have food on your Sledge for00:47:03
four men not five Evan said00:47:07

I'm the captain Teddy Scott said you do00:47:15
what I say00:47:16
take two men and leave Bowers with me00:47:21
Oates wrote to his mother00:47:24
I'm going to the pole with Scott00:47:27
I am pleased and I feel strong00:47:30
but in his diary he wrote00:47:33
my feet are very bad00:47:36
they are always wet now00:47:39
and they don't look good00:47:43
on January 4th00:47:45

slowly00:50:16
