Book Description
Excerpt from The Scottish Geographical Magazine, 1913, Vol. 29: Published by the Royal Scottish Geographical Society While the struggle for the North Pole covers hundreds of years, the struggle for the South Pole is of comparatively recent date. About 1900 we find several expeditions - English, German, French, Belgian, Scottish, and Swedish - working hand-in-hand in order to withdraw the veil and lay open the great mysteries of the Antarctic. The object of several of these expeditions was of course scientific, but I believe I may say that the Pole itself loomed behind as the ultimate goal.
