Extract

Captain Scott went to the pole over the Ross Barrier, up the Beardmore Glacier (Fig. 1) which is about 100 miles long, and then on to the south pole, coming out by the same route. The great Norwegian explorer Amundsen went in from the other side over the shelf, up one of the glaciers and on to the pole. Admiral Byrd flew in and out again in 1929. Apart from these expeditions very little has been done in Antarctica and nearly all of it, apart from the fringe, is untouched.
