Exploring the Antarctic
In Earlier centuries the Antarctic was thought to be a huge continent. Its existence in the southern Hemisphere, around the South Pole was believed to act as a balance to the known continents in the northern hemisphere. In the 18th century, it was discovered to be far smaller than people had first thought. Sailed for the This was after Captain Cook sailed for the first time south of the Antarctic circle

and reached the edge of the ice — pack. The coast of Graham Land, a small part of the ice — covered continent, was first seen in 1820. Explorers from different countries saw parts of the coast-line in other areas, but the first large — scale exploration was made by Captain James Clarke Ross in 1841.
With his two ships, The Erebus and The Terror, he went right into the Ross Sea and discovered the great Ross Ice Barrier. After that, explorers ignored the Antarctic and there were no further journeys there until the 1890es, when an international plan of study was set up. A Norwegian, C.E.Borchgrevink, was the first person to spend a winter in the Antarctic and to travel on the ice barrier. He was there from1898 to 1900. Several other explorers followed.
From 1901 to 1904 Captain Scott journeyed in the ship The Discovery, Once on land, they travelled further south than any one had done before. A little later, Ernest Shackleton beat this by travelling to within 160 kilometers of the South Pole. In 1910 Captain Scott organized his second journey, determined to reach the South Pole this time, but for him it became an important goal. At the same time, another Norwegian explorer, Roald Amundsen, made clear his intention of reaching the South Pole. It became a race.
Amundsen set up his base at the eastern end of the Ross Barrier and, using teams of dogs to pull his sledges, reached the South Pole on 14 December, 1911. Meanwhile, Scott and his team had their start delayed by bad weather. When they did set off they had to pull their sledges themselves, as Scott was against animal labor.
It went from bad to worse and at last they reached the South Pole, it was a month after Amundsen’s arrival. The return was just as difficult. They struggled against the weather and their own weakness, until they died only a few kilometers from their base.
Other outstanding explorations were carried. Out: one by Admiral Byrd in 1929, when he flew over the South Pole, the British Trip of 1934, which made the first maps of any part of the Antarctic, and the American Navy expedition of 1940. During this one they sailed round the entire continent and large areas were photographed for the air. The Antarctic was the scene of great adventure during the International Geographical year in 1958 to 1959, where scientists from all over the world met and all took part in the exploration. Most recently, in 1993, two British explores completed the first crossing of the Antarctic without any outside help, and the longest polar journey both world records.
