Amundsen at the South Pole
“The Antarctic plateau, December 14, 1911. Five Norwegians plant their flag on a featureless ice plain. Foreground shows Amundsen and Bjaaland gripping the Norwegian colors against a stiff wind; midground reveals huskies harnessed to a sled and a small black tent ('Polheim'); blowing snow blurs the horizon under a high white polar sun.”
