1911, Douglas Mawson records in his diary that the mens' spirits were lifted on this day because of lighter winds which had dropped to an average of 45 mph, a "strong gale". Arriving during an unusually calm spell, he had established his base in one of the windiest spots on earth

1912, Amundsen and his team arrive back at Framheim, their winter quarters at the Bay of Whales after becoming the first to reach the South Pole, they have been away for 99 days and covered 1,860 miles.

1912, Captain Scott with Bowers, Evans, Oates and Wilson reach South Pole. "The Pole. Yes, but under very different circumstances from those expected.", "Great God! this is an awful place and terrible enough for us to have laboured to it without the reward of priority."

Oates was worse in the night and we knew the end had come, he slept hoping not to wake, but woke in the morning. It was blowing a blizzard, he left the tent alone and we have not seen him since. His last words were "I am just going outside and may be some time."

AM-A Northerly gale with heavy drifting and falling snow. Big, hard sastrugi made us fall every 3-4 paces. Hanssen and his dogs went first to break the trail, a horrible job but successful, slow progress nonetheless. Now at 11,070 feet, we have gained altitude since Butcher's.

AM-Reconnaissance determines we will reach the plateau tomorrow! We reckoned on 10 days and should now do it in 4. The work of the last few days, dogs in double teams to pull up steep slopes, moving our stores in relays has paid off. We will ascend the Hebirg glacier to 8000ft
