PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Amundsen's original account. The vivid narrative reflects Amundsen's modesty -- and focus on the practical details of getting to the Pole. Amundsen relied heavily on dogs, pioneering a route over the unknown Alex Heiberg glacier from his floating base at the Bay of Whales on the Ross Ice Shelf. Originally published as two volumes in 1913.
