A hundred years ago, on December 14, 1911, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and his team became the first humans to reach the geographic South Pole, which sits in a lifeless desert nearly 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) from the Antarctic coast.

A little more than a month later, on January 17, 1912, British explorer Robert ****** Scott and his team also reached the Pole, but they died on the return journey.
