Captain Scott

About 100 years ago, Captain Scott had an amazing idea he travelled to Antarctica to try & be the first person to get to the South Pole.  He took with him ponies, dogs, sledges, and tents.  He also took with him 50 men to travel with.  On the way he was told that someone else was planning to get to the South Pole.  His name was Roald Amunsden and he was from Norway. When he got to the South Pole he found a tent with the South Pole flag on top of it. On the way back three men struggled to go back home, eight months later a search party found bodies, sadly they died.
