Scott & Amundsen. The Race to the South Pole.

New York: GP Putnam, 1980. First American edition. Hardcover book. The race to the South Pole was one of the highest and lowest points of public emotion in 1911. British explorer Robert Falcon Scott and Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen were competing to get there first. Ultimately, bad weather and Scott's dependence on motorized equipment vs. Amundsen's sled dogs, made the difference. Scott was to die with his comrades in tents pinned down by blizzard.
