Their clothes were made out of fur to keep them as warm as possible at temperatures down to -58 Fahrenheit (The Race to the Pole - Roald Amundsen and Robert Scott‚ nd).

It all started in high school. My older sister nagged me into being more active. One day she told me to join track. My first year of high school I brushed it off‚ but I then saw it‚ pole vault. Pole vault is an amazing aspect of the sport track and field which requires a lot of strength‚ speed‚ and determination. Being an athlete means helping others.

Amundsen would lead one party to the Pole while Prestrud--with Johansen--would lead another to explore King Edward VII Land.
