When British explorer Robert Falcon Scott and his companions set off from the McMurdo region in late 1911, their foremost goal was to plant the first flag at the geographic south pole some 1,300 kilometers away -- a race they lost by a month to Roald Amundsen of Norway. At the geographic South Pole, they can spend up to three months--if clouds don't intervene -- observing a sun that never sets. |
