The Antarctic is the driest, coldest and windiest continent in the world. It's dark months of the year and not many animals live here, apart from penguins. There are no native people like the Inuits, and tourists never stop off to explore. It's easy to understand why. It isn't the best place to live and work and it's freezing at the moment - we've had temperatures of -73°C since. Monday! Every day, I go down to Ross Island and work in Scott's Hut with other scientists. mside there are books, wooden skis, biscuits, penguins' eggs and. many other interesting things. All these things have been here for a hundred years and they're completely frozen. That's why we want to save the hut it brings Scott's expedition to life! The race to the South Pole is a famous story. Captain Scott and a Norwegian explorer called Roald Amundsen both wanted to get there first. They both prepared for many months, but in the end their expeditions were very different: Amundsen used dogs to pull his sleds and Scott used motorized sleds and horses. Amundsen had good weather during his expedition, but Scott had bad weather. When Scott's team set out from the hut on 1 November 1911, there were terrible snow storms and the sleds broke down. After a few weeks, the horses died and most of his team turned back. In the end, only five men carried on to the South Pole: Scott, Oates, Evans, Bowers ànd Wilson.
On 17 January 1912, Scott's team reached the Pole and came across the Norwegian flag Amundsen's team were there before them and were already racing back to tell the world. Tired and disappointed, Scott made his way back home, bụt the return journey was a nightmare. They rán out of food and qot lost in snowstorms; then on 17 February, Evans had a bad fall and died. A month later, Gates walked into a snow storm and disappeared. Scott, Bowers and Wilson stayed in the tent for two more weeks. Sadly, the storm didn't stop, so they died. They were only eighteen kilometres from a supply of food. In Scott's hut, there is a pair of old explorer's boots. Scott wore these boots for years and they are dirty and broken, but they're very special, too. They us Scott's story - that he was hard-working, ambitious and determined, and'that he pushed himself to the limit. Although the journey was terrible and terrifying, Scott never gave up, and that's an amazing achievement
