ANTARCTICA-NORWAY-BRITAIN-HISTORY-EXPLORATION-FILES
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY PIERRE-HENRY DESHAYES
(FILES) A file photo taken on December 16, 1911 shows Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen (L) and his companions, Oscar Wisting (2nd L), Sverre Hassel (2nd R) and Helmer Hansen (R), saluting the Norwegian flag at the South Pole they were the first to reach on December 14, 1911 with 52 dogs and four sledges. One hundred years ago, 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.
