The British Expedition to the South Pole

Polar explorer robert bartlett was there, noting that nobody had ever given him such a send off. The cheers from the many thousands of throats fairly made the air quiver on that blazing summer afternoon. Rolld amanson's norwegian vessel was much smaller. It carried no motorized sleds or ponies, only dogs and a crew of just 19. Nobody in norway was excited about almonson's bold thrust to beat the british to the south pole. And there was a reason for that. He had told everyone he was heading to north pole instead.
