Amundsons approach to the whole effort brought him the success. Scotts approach, though courageous, ended in disaster and planning was one of its biggest factors. I have had the privledge to be flying to the South Pole since 1994...enjoy every landing there. Have over 250 to my name just at South pole and many others to various locations on the snow all over Antarctica. Its been a blast! Here is my office!

That show is brilliant although at the time it upset some one of my British friends. It’s very revisionist but superbly done.
There is another brilliant movie (1982) called “The Flight of the Eagle,” starring Max Von Sydow as a Swedish explorer to the Pole. It’s only available on VHS but boy, was it powerful.

Does anyone remember the movie ‘The Red Tent’ about the expedition of the Italian, Umberto Nobile?
That was a great movie!
