Amundsen completed his preparations and in June 1910 sailed instead for Antarctica, where the English explorer Robert F. Scott was also headed with the aim of reaching the South Pole. In early 1911, Amundsen sailed his ship into Antarcticaâs Bay of Whales and set up base camp 60 miles closer to the pole than Scott.
Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen became the first man to reach the South Pole on December 14, 1911. In the early 1900s, there was a race to see who could get to the South Pole first. Amundsen beat his rival, British explorer Robert Flacon Scott, by five weeks.
