Race to the End of the Earth, the major new exhibition now open at the American Museum of Natural History, recounts one of the most stirring tales of the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration: the contest to be the first to reach the South Pole in 1911-1912.

The exhibition focuses on the challenges that the two leaders – Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and British Royal Navy Captain Robert Falcon Scott — faced as they undertook their 1,800-mile journeys from the shores of the Ross Sea to the Pole and back. Race to the End of the Earth also spotlights modern scientific exploration in the Antarctic and the latest research on this unique continent.

Race to the End of the Earth recounts one of the most stirring tales of Antarctic exploration: the contest to be the first to reach the South Pole in 1911-1912. The exhibition focuses on the challenges that two competing explorers — Norwegian Roald Amundsen and Captain Robert Falcon Scott of the British Royal Navy — faced as they undertook their 1,800-mile journeys from the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf to the Pole and back.
