We decided to explore the opposite end of the world to our Arctic Adventurers on Friday and followed in the footsteps of Captain Scott to the South Pole. We thought about what would be good things to take for such a journey and tried to imagine what it was like on the coldest, windiest place on earth. It was a sad story as he was beaten by Amundsen from Norway and then his team couldn't survive the journey back to their ship. See if you can tell your family something about their expedition.
We know that people are famous for being brave and taking on a challenge for the most difficult things. We tried out how hard it is to pull people on a sledge without dogs as Scott didn't take husky dogs on his trip and took lots of heavy supplies. We discovered that trying to do things with thick coats and gloves on is not easy. Rudi and Sooty even tried out our sledge!
