Between December 1911 and January 1912, both Roald Amundsen (leading his South Pole expedition) and Robert Falcon Scott (leading the Terra Nova Expedition) reached the South Pole within five weeks of each other. But while Scott and his four companions died on the return journey, Amundsen's party managed to reach the geographic south pole first and subsequently return to their base camp at Framheim without loss of human life, suggesting that they were better prepared for the expedition. The contrasting fates of the two teams seeking the same prize at the same time invites comparison.

  • В декабре 1911 — январе 1912 года Южного полюса достигли конкурирующие между собой команды Руаля Амундсена и Роберта Скотта с разницей в 33 дня. Полюсная команда Скотта погибла в полном составе на обратном пути, её судьба на протяжении XX века стала предметом весьма обширных дискуссий профессиональных полярников и историков полярных экспедиций. В данной статье рассматриваются основные мнения и версии, существующие в литературе. (ru)
