\nSCOTT, AMUNDSEN, AND SHACKLETON: RACE TO THE POLE
\nIn 1900 Antarctica represented the last major unclaimed area of the world.
\nGreat Britain would launch an expedition to explore and claim this hostile
\nregion for her Empire. A young Royal Navy officer, Robert Falcon Scott, was
\nchosen to head this mission. Scott would fail in his attempt to reach the
\nPole but in death, would soar in English status as a “True, noble, gallant
\nEnglishman”. Others including Amundsen and Shackleton would risk their
\nlives to reach the pole. Why would they risk so much…for some it was the
\nhope of fame and glory. For others, it was to serve the Empire. Join local
\nhistorian, Bob Begin for another entertaining evening at the library. <\/p>\n
