In 1911 Roald Amundsen beat Robert Falcon Scott to the South Pole, and Scott and his colleagues all died on the return journey.

Über den Autor
Sir Ernest Shackleton was born in Ireland in February 1874. He led three expeditions to the Antarctic, most notably the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. He intended to return to Antarctica in January 1921, but died of a heart attack whilst his ship was moored in South Georgia. At his wife's request, his body was buried there.Sir Ranulph Fiennes is, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world's greatest living explorer. He was the first person to cross Antarctica on foot, and the first person to visit both the North and South Poles by surface means.
