Ross Sea Centennial Voyage
Farewell to the Emperors of Antarctica
End of an Era voyage
1911 was a remarkable year in Antarctic exploration. In January, Robert Falcon Scott and the members of his expedition anchored off Ross Island in the Ross Sea. His intention was to be the first person to reach the South Pole. By December, the single most important goal of Antarctic exploration had been achieved by Roald Amundsen from his base camp in the Bay of Whales. The Norwegian reached the South Pole on December 14, 1911, just five weeks ahead of Scott. During this expedition, we celebrate their accomplishments and bid farewell to the Emperor Penguins of the Ross Sea.
