Across the silent inner ice run the faint courses of the explorers who first won the pole.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo teams had just finished the race. The Norwegian Roald Amundsen got there first, in December 1911; the Briton Robert Scott arrived weeks later, in January 1912. Both climbed up from the Ross Sea toward the pole, stage by stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet most of the continent here is still empty. In 1912 the coast was the only sure part; the deep ice stayed almost untouched, so the chart fills that void with little beyond a few sledge marches and a handful of named capes and bays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis map stands as a testament to the courage of the men who braved that hostile waste, offering a window into the far bottom of the world. One of the most haunting of all early charts, it lends a stark, austere romance to any living room, office, or study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"18x24 Inch","offer_id":67827671793853,"sku":"ENMAP0851_1824L","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/1K3qvwTPHVykYdL50H_fFPDKjCpttmN9Y_w1000.jpg?v=1792312541","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1912-antarctica-south-pole-exploration-map","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
