After an even earlier false start, Amundsen finally set off across the ice shelf on 19 October 1911, with 48 dogs, 5 men, and 4 sledges. Scott was unable to follow him out as his much larger team had immediate problems with the donkeys which were having difficulties in dealing with the intense cold. He finally set out on 2 November 1911 and the pressure this delay caused never allowed him and his team to find a way to catch up.

Terra Australis Incognita, meaning ‘Unknown Southern Land’ is first titled on a map dated 1513, discovered in the Topkapi Palace, Istanbul only as recently as 1929. (The title clearly illustrates the origin of the name Australia). Sara Wheeler’s wonderful story of her time spent at several South Pole bases
