[00:00.16]At the turn of the 20th century, the world was gripped by a hunger for exploration.
[00:05.50]The North Pole had reportedly been reached, but the South Pole buried deep within Antarctica's icy heart remained untouched.
[00:14.40]In 1910, two men answered this call.
[00:18.10]Roald Amundsen, a meticulous Norwegian explorer, and Robert Falcon Scott, a proud British naval officer.
[00:26.52]Both men assembled international teams, gathered supplies, and set off on separate journeys with one goal in mind: to be the first to plant their flag at the bottom of the world.

[00:40.34]Amundsen quietly shifted his plans from the north to the south, keeping his true intentions a secret until the last moment.
[00:48.42]Scott announced his expedition with fanfare, aiming to bring glory to his country and science.
[00:54.46]The stage was set for a dramatic contest.
