ANTARCTIC-NORWAY-BRITAIN-HISTORY-EXPLORATION
This handout picture released by the Nasjonalbiblioteket on December 11, 2011 shows (FromL) team members Adolf Lindstrom, Sverre Hassel, Oscar Wisting, Helmer Hanssen, Roald Amundsen, Jorgen Stubberud and Kristian Prestrud sitting around a table at Amundsen's antarctic base called Framheim by the Bay of Whales, Antarctica in 1911. One hundred years ago Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen won the race to the South Pole in a dramatic and ultimately fatal duel with British adventurer Robert Scott that captured the world's attention. On December 14, 1911, not long before the outbreak of World War I as nationalism was on the rise in Europe, Amundsen and the four members of his team were the first to plant the Norwegian flag at the southernmost tip of the globe.
