The South Pole

In December 1911, Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer and polar explorer, became the first person to reach the South Pole. And this is his story, firsthand.

With the skill of a first-class writer, Amundsen tells the story of the challenges that befell his expedition, and how character and professionalism allowed him to overcome them all and succeed where others failed.

Even after a hundred years, The South Pole remains one of the greatest books on polar exploration.

This is a complete, unabridged edition, containing all the photographs, diagrams, and appendices from the original book. It is being printed in Ukrainian for the first time in this form.
