Amundsen and his brother Leon learn of Scott's Death

 

Even though Amundsen and his team arrived in the Antarctic after the British, they arrive at the Pole before Scott, and in fact, Amundsen and his team had returned from Antarctica to Norway and Amundsen had begun his world speaking tour before the British had found the tent containing the bodies of Scott and his Polar party. The irony is bitter and telling: no matter how clear and decisive a victory it was, it would be Scott not Amundsen that would become a "National Monument," and perhaps the most famous explorer in history – Great Scott!. But the choice remains for us all - who would we rather emulate? At this point in PolarLeader we explore what success looks like experientially and what really matters at the end of the day.
