The race is on! In 1911, two Antarctic-bound explorers, the Englishman Robert Falcon Scott & the Norwegian Roald Amundsen, led teams through harrowing conditions against a ticking clock. Who would reach the pole first? & when they got there, could either make it back home? This new exhibition recounts one of the most stirring tales of exploration-the dramatic contest to reach the South Pole.
