"The coldest place in the world" is the story of the early 20th century expedition to the South Pole. On June 1, 1910, the British ship, the Terra Nova, set off at the head of captain Scott and embarked on an expedition to Antarctica. Five days later, the Norwegian ship the Fram, led by captain Amundsen, changed the original plan for an arctic expedition to the South Pole and challenged the British. In January 1911, two ships arrived in Antarctica and began preparations for the expedition to the South Pole. During this time, the norwegians performed better, and they built a large number of storerooms on the way to the adventure, and carefully marked them; Reinforced the sled, skis; Conduct a variety of targeted training. The British, on the other hand, rely on their own people, with more money, advanced equipment, and the world's latest mechanical sleigh, ready for work. It can be said that at this stage, the victory and defeat of both sides is basically decided. In the summer of September 8, 1910, the Norwegian Amundsen was eager to find a way to take the lead in the harsh climate, and had to return to the camp in the midst of great danger. At this time, the norwegians were divided, and Johansen, with two others, withdrew from the expedition. On October 20, 1910, the norwegians set out again, and this time all went well. On December 24, 1911, they first arrived at the South Pole, becoming the first people on earth to reach the South Pole. On October 24, 1910, the British, led by Scott, set out for the South Pole. Due to lack of preparation, the journey progressed very slowly. There are all kinds of serious accidents in the middle of the road. There were 11 people on the way, but when they arrived at the South Pole on January 17, 1912, there were only five. On the way back, they were sick and stranded, and all died, leaving a strong page for the Antarctic expedition.
