roald amundsen and robert falcon scott were two polar explorers who competed to become the first to reach the south pole skis were in their infancy as locomotion devices for polar expeditions: amundsen embraced them, scott rejected them. amundsen won, scott and his men froze to death along the way adapt or die

interesting!! i just read their story in last days specially about Ernest Shackleton Amundsen was the first one who explored the north and south! but the important part of his amazing win was about knowing how to work with dogs actually shackleton brought skis too, but he didn't succeed

shackleton's failed polar expedition is probably the greatest survival story of all time, and the epitome of 'adapt or die'
