The message begins with the story of the expedition of Robert Falcon Scott to the South Pole, highlighting the tragedy of a journey that was full of determination but ended in failure. Scott and his team endured unimaginable hardship, only to find that they had arrived too late and followed a path that did not lead to the outcome they hoped for. This account becomes a metaphor for the human search for meaning.

I minus 60 grader og konstant og totalt mørke drager Cherry Garrard afsted fra sin hytte på antarktis i selskab med Edward Wilson og Henry Bowers på en fuldstændig vanvittig slæderejse. Deres mål er at finde kejserpingvinens æg. De tre falder i gletsjersprækker, bliver ramt af storm, Cherrys tænder bliver ødelagt af de voldsomme rystelser han har i sin frostfyldte sovepose og hans briller fryser fast til huden. Og det er bare en brøkdel af elendigheden. Rejsen er blevet kaldt den værste i verden og er en afstikker fra den senere så berømte sydpolsfærd, hvor engelske Robert Falcon Scott og hans mænd skulle forsøge atnå sydpolspunktet som de første. Medvirkende: Thomas Ubbesen, medlem af Eventyrernes Klub, journalist og forfatter. Thomas har et indgående kendskab til mange arktiske og antarktiske ekspeditioner og har også bidraget med historier til bogen Ukendt Land.  

Vor 90 Jahren - im Februar 1935 - betrat die gebürtige Dänin Caroline Mikkelsen als erste Frau antarktisches Land. Seitdem erobern immer mehr Frauen das ewige Eis. Roald Amundsen, Robert Falcon Scott oder Ernest Shackleton – die Liste der Entdecker und Wissenschaftler, der berühmten Polarforscher ist lang und beeindruckend. Vor allem in den ersten Jahren der Antarktis-Entdeckung waren es Männer. Heute sind Frauen auf Forschungsstationen am Südpol längst normal. Wir sprechen u.a. mit Teilnehmerinnen der ersten reinen Frauen-Überwinterung auf der Georg-Neumayer-Station. Eine Wissenschafts-Fotografin erzählt über die Faszination der Polarregionen. Eine junge Hamburgerin will zu Fuß durch die Antarktis. Sie erzählt über ihre Motivation und die Vorbereitungen für die Expedition. Jetzt reinhören und eintauchen in eine spannende Welt und ihre Entdeckerinnen. Moderation: Anja Grigoleit

En 1911, el explorador Roald Amundsen lideró con éxito la primera expedición en llegar al Polo Sur. Su equipo enfrentó temperaturas extremas, tormentas implacables y desafíos que parecían insuperables. Sin embargo, su preparación, perseverancia y confianza en su estrategia lo llevaron a la victoria. En contraste, otro explorador, Robert Falcon Scott, intentó la misma hazaña sin la misma planificación y, lamentablemente, su equipo pereció en el intento.Así como Amundsen no permitió que las dificultades lo detuvieran, la Biblia está llena de historias de hombres y mujeres que enfrentaron adversidades pero perseveraron en Dios. José soportó años de esclavitud y prisión antes de ser gobernador de Egipto. Daniel fue arrojado al foso de los leones, pero su fe lo sostuvo. La victoria no siempre es inmediata, pero aquellos que confían en Dios y siguen adelante con determinación ven Su mano obrar.Si hoy enfrentas un desafío que parece imposible, recuerda que Dios te ha equipado para superarlo. Confía en que Él está contigo y usará cada dificultad para fortalecerte. La Biblia dice en Romanos 8:28: “Y sabemos que a los que aman a Dios, todas las cosas les ayudan a bien” (RV1960).

This episode is also available on YouTube. Roald Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer renowned for being the first to reach the South Pole on December 14, 1911, beating Robert Falcon Scott's British expedition. A skilled navigator and leader, he used innovative techniques learned from the Inuit, such as dog sledding and wearing fur clothing, to survive in extreme polar conditions. Amundsen also led the first successful navigation of the Northwest Passage in 1906 and later became the first confirmed person to reach the North Pole by airship in 1926. He tragically disappeared in 1928 during a rescue mission in the Arctic. Written, edited, and produced by Rich Napolitano. Original theme music by Sean Sigfried.

In 1910, Roald Amundsen and the Fram set off on what the world thought was an expedition to the Arctic. Instead, Amundsen sailed to Antarctica - his intention to make a run at the South Pole. It would set up a dramatic (and tragic) race for the pole with British explorers Robert Falcon Scott. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 3, 2024 is: eschew • ess-CHOO • verb To eschew something is to avoid it, especially because you do not think it is right, proper, or practical. // Their teacher was known as a Luddite because he eschewed the use of smartphones and tablets in the classroom. See the entry > Examples: “Scheduled work shifts [at Burning Man] were delayed and continually rearranged, causing confusion among campers as to how and when to contribute.... While some of us found ways to help, others took it as an opportunity to eschew their responsibilities. However, those of us who showed up united, and handled business, did so with aplomb...” — Morena Duwe, The Los Angeles Times, 9 Sept. 2024 Did you know? Something to chew on: there's no etymological relationship between the verbs chew and eschew. While the former comes from the Old English word cēowan, eschew comes instead from the Anglo-French verb eschiver and shares roots with the Old High German verb sciuhen, meaning “to frighten off.” In his famous dictionary of 1755, Samuel Johnson characterized eschew as “almost obsolete.” History has proven that the great lexicographer was wrong on that call, however. Today, following a boom in the word's usage during the 19th and 20th centuries, English speakers and writers use eschew when something is avoided less for temperamental reasons than for moral or practical ones, even if misguidedly so, as when Barry Lopez wrote in his 2019 book Horizon of ill-fated Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott, “with an attitude of cultural superiority, eschewing sled dogs for Manchurian ponies....”

I 1912 bliver den norske polarforsker Roald Amundsen og hans folk den første ekspedition, der når til Sydpolen. Det gør han lige for næsen af sin engelske konkurrent, Robert Falcon Scott, som ikke alene taber kapløbet, men også mister livet i isørkenens ubarmhjertige kulde. Siden har adskillige eventyrere trådt i Amundsens fodspor, og i denne uge vil endnu en gøre forsøget. Bjergbestigeren Rasmus Kragh ønsker at blive den første dansker, der når ind til Sydpolen på egen hånd. Han har hjælp fra moderne overlevelsesudstyr, men det er stadig livsfarligt at begive sig ud på den øde is. I dagens afsnit fortæller Politikens videnskabsredaktør Lasse Foghsgaard om de mænd og kvinder, der igennem tiden har fulgt en drøm, de håber på at finde i mødet med Sydpolen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hvis man siger “Terra Nova ekspeditionen” er det formentlig de færreste der ved, hvad det var for en. Men hvis man siger Robert Falcon Scotts ekspedition til Antarktis for at prøve at blive de første til at nå Sydpolen - og hvis man i samme åndedrag nævner Roald Amundsen og det verdensberømte “kapløb om Sydpolen”, så er der nok flere, der nikker genkendende.Dagens afsnit indeholder alt det, som vi der elsker ekspeditionshistorie, bliver så fascinerede af: stærke kammeratskaber, heroiske beretninger og heltemodige hovedpersoner, kolossale strabadser i et ugæstfrit, barskt og endnu ikke kortlagt land. Historien indeholder også nationernes kamp om at komme først, store egoer og rivalisering, Alt sammen, fordi fristelsen var for stor: At blive den første til at Sydpolen og dermed hædre nationen og ikke mindst - udødeliggøre sig selv!Medvirkende: Gregers Gjersøe, medlem af Eventyrernes Klub og en erfaren ekspeditionsmand. Gergers er guide i Grønland for Albatros og stifter af Non Profit organisationen Polarskolen.dk, hvor han underviser på danske folkeskoler om Grønland og Færøerne og så har han stor kendskab til Robert Falcon Scott, da han sammen med Kristian Joos i 2000 - som de første danskere - nåede Sydpolen under en to måneder lang tur på ski med pulk.

This week we continue our discussion of the Terra Nova expedition, Robert Falcon Scott's attempt to become the first human to reach the south pole. This week we discuss the push for the pole and the result of the race between Scott and Amundsen including the tragic aftermath.  Take a listen and join us for some time spent in the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. 

This week we discuss the Terra Nova expedition, a largely privately funded attempt by Robert Falcon Scott to become the first human to reach the south pole.  While history most often centers on the race between Scott and Norwegian Roald Amundsen to reach the pole, the expedition was took part in a great deal of other exploration and scientific discovery.  This week we learn about the start of the expedition and the discoveries made in 1910-1911, before the push for the pole.

rWotD Episode 2481: Southern Cross Expedition Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.The random article for Sunday, 18 February 2024 is Southern Cross Expedition.The Southern Cross Expedition, otherwise known as the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900, was the first British venture of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, and the forerunner of the more celebrated journeys of Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton. The brainchild of the Anglo-Norwegian explorer Carsten Borchgrevink, it was the first expedition to over-winter on the Antarctic mainland, the first to visit the Great Ice Barrier—later known as the Ross Ice Shelf—since Sir James Clark Ross's groundbreaking expedition of 1839 to 1843, and the first to effect a landing on the Barrier's surface. It also pioneered the use of dogs and sledges in Antarctic travel.The expedition was privately financed by the British magazine publisher Sir George Newnes. Borchgrevink's party sailed in the Southern Cross, and spent the southern winter of 1899 at Cape Adare, the northwest extremity of the Ross Sea coastline. Here they carried out an extensive programme of scientific observations, although opportunities for inland exploration were restricted by the mountainous and glaciated terrain surrounding the base. In January 1900, the party left Cape Adare in Southern Cross to explore the Ross Sea, following the route taken by Ross 60 years earlier. They reached the Great Ice Barrier, where a team of three made the first sledge journey on the Barrier surface, during which a new Farthest South record latitude was established at 78° 50′S.On its return to Britain the expedition was coolly received by London's geographical establishment exemplified by the Royal Geographical Society, which resented the pre-emption of the pioneering Antarctic role they envisaged for the Discovery Expedition. There were also questions about Borchgrevink's leadership qualities, and criticism of the limited extent of scientific results. Thus, despite the number of significant "firsts", Borchgrevink was never accorded the heroic status of Scott or Shackleton, and his expedition was soon forgotten in the dramas which surrounded these and other Heroic Age explorers. However, Roald Amundsen, conqueror of the South Pole in 1911, acknowledged that Borchgrevink's expedition had removed the greatest obstacles to Antarctic travel, and had opened the way for all the expeditions that followed.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:07 UTC on Sunday, 18 February 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Southern Cross Expedition on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Brian Standard.

Ernest Shackleton. Dieser Name steht für einige der spannendsten Expeditionen in die Antarktis. Auch wenn der britische Polarforscher nicht der erste Mensch am Südpol war, reiht er sich neben Roald Amundsen und Robert Falcon Scott in die Riege der ganz großen Erforscher der Polarregionen ein. Und: Er wird noch heute als Vorbild verehrt. Nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil er von seiner wichtigsten Expedition, der Endurace-Expedition, trotz des Untergangs seines Schiffes alle seine Männer wieder nach Hause zurück gebracht hat. Vor 150 Jahren wurde Ernest Shackleton geboren. Wir erinnern an ihn und erzählen seine Geschichte. Moderation: Dietrich Lehmann

Antarctica and cricket don't usually go hand in hand. But the two will come together at Christchurch's Hagley Oval this summer with a special brass bell from Canterbury Museum's collection signalling the start of international cricket matches. The historic bell is from the SY Morning steam yacht, which was used as a relief vessel on Scott's British National Antarctic Expedition between 1903 and 1904. The ringing of the bell five minutes before the start of play is inspired by a similar tradition at Lord's Cricket Ground in England, where a bell from a ship used in Robert Falcon Scott's first expedition to the Antarctic in the 1900s The curator of human history at Canterbury Museum Adele Jackson joins Mark Leishman to explain how the collaboration came together.

The Heroic Age in Antarctica dates from 1899-1922 when the first men to winter over and conduct scientific research and exploration endured many hardships with some deaths. Besides providing the first scientific studies, photography and even poetry emerged from this period. It also can be defined by the isolation of the men involved, with no outside contact or chance of rescue if things went wrong. Here, I review some of these early expeditions including the first winter over in sea ice with the ship Beligica from Belgium, the first winter over on the continent by Carsten Borchgrevink, and the first attempt at reaching the South Pole by Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton.

 I have been habitually late my whole life. This is not new news to long-time Smart Cleaning School Podcast listeners. In fact, I blamed it on my mom in a past episode. Let me first right a wrong. My mom declares that it was not her that was always late when I was a kid. Yes, our family was always late for events (all of them). But my mom has edited my blame from her to her husband, my step-father Paul. Sorry Dad. You're the culprit of lateness. I was influenced by this as a kid and carried lateness into adulthood. It wasn't until a few pivotal times that I learned some things that would change me. One is from the Royal Rangers Ministry that I am very invested. I've been to leadership training camps with the Rangers and hear this from the beginning to the end. "5 minutes early is on time and on time is late." The other is from my Pop-Pop. I shared in "He Built You a Clock" how my Pop-Pop showed me all throughout his life that being on time was important. It showed others that you value their time. I learned this on the weekends growing up and learned lateness during the week. At the age of 45, I can say that I finally get it. I don't want to be late anymore. I want to show people that I value them by being there on time. In fact, I want to be early. Does this relate?  How do you change? It seems so silly to ask, but let's break this down. You and I have been so programmed to leave the house at the exact time you need to get there on time. In many cases, we leave a few minutes later and believe we can make it up with going faster. We leave no margin for traffic, for forgetting something important at the house, for anything that could go wrong. In fact, we try a sort of inverse margin by leaving late and trying to miraculously make up the time. This margin is called a buffer. I want you to hear some notes from one of my favorite books called "Essentialism" by Greg McKeown. This comes from an article from mentalpivot.com.Chapter 15: BUFFER: The Unfair Advantage“A buffer can be defined literally as something that prevents two things from coming into contact and harming each other.”Buffers are effective strategies for dealing with the unknown and circumstances beyond our control.“The essentialist looks ahead. She plans. She prepares for different contingencies. She expects the unexpected. She creates a buffer to prepare for the unforeseen, thus giving herself some wiggle room when things come up, as they inevitably do.”Extreme preparation vs. ideal circumstances as illustrated in the story of Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott in the race to the South Pole. Amundsen build slack and buffers into his plan with food/supply caches, redundant supplies and frequent trail markers. Scott's planned for the best-case scenario and once external circumstances upended Scott's plan, his team paid the ultimate price.As a rule-of-thumb: Double your time estimates.Planning Fallacy: Human tendency to underestimate how long a task will take (even if they're familiar with the task and have done it before).Questions to ask when building buffers for personal projects:What risks do you face on this project?What is the worst-case scenario?What would the social effects of this be?What would the financial impact of this be?How can you invest to reduce risks or strengthen financial or social resilience?Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website

In 1915 Ernest Shackleton's ship, Endurance, sank off the coast of Antarctica, stranding the crew on drifting sea ice. Shackleton's desperate rescue mission saved all 28 men. But for more than a century afterward, the location of Endurance eluded archaeologists—until this year. National Geographic photographer Esther Horvath was there, and recounts the moment when the ship was located 10,000 feet beneath the polar ice.  For more information on this episode, visit natgeo.com/overheard.

Booooooo! It's October which means we are right in the midst of Spooky Season! To kick-off October we've got author and former guest Ally Malinenko returning to the podcast to promote her latest book "This Appearing House"! Joe and Ally get into a discussion about navigating trauma, how haunted houses have been utilized in stories over the years, and how to provide kids the resources needed to navigate this world! It's definitely a great way to kick-off October, enjoy! About Ally Malinenko I live in Brooklyn which is good except when it's not which is horrid. I've been writing for awhile, and have some stuff published and some stuff not. I don't like when people refer to pets as their children and I can't resist a handful of Cheez-Its when offered. I have a burning desire to go to Antarctica, specifically to the South Pole so I can see where Robert Falcon Scott died. I like to read books. I write novels and poems and stories in a secret writing closet before dawn each day. Oh and I got cancer at 37. That was a bummer. Spoiler! I'm still alive. I'm represented by the amazing Rena Rossner of the Deborah Harris Agency. About This Appearing House For as long as anyone could remember there wasn't a house at the dead end of Juniper Drive . . . until one day there was. When Jac first sees the House, she's counting down to the five-year anniversary of her cancer diagnosis, when she hopefully will be declared NED, or “no evidence of disease.” But with a house appearing, and her hands shaking, and a fall off her bike, Jac is starting to wonder if these are symptoms—or if something stranger is happening.   Make sure to check out the NEW Dtalkspodcast.com website!

What would you do when you're out of luck and your only communication is as far as you can shout? That's what faced Antarctic explorers of the Heroic Age, and Brad Borkan has analyzed their decisions — good and bad — and identified the behaviors and skills that we can apply to everyday scenarios on the other six continents. In When Your Life Depends on It: Extreme Decision-Making Lessons from the Antarctic, we go on a storytelling journey and explore eleven situations through the eyes of Robert Falcon Scott, Ernest Shackleton, Roald Amundsen, and Douglas Mawson.   Music Antarctica by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Artist:  http://audionautix.com/   Full show notes are available at: https://www.timelesstimely.com/p/extreme-decision-making Please subscribe to the Timeless & Timely newsletter.

1912- El explorador británico Robert Falcon Scott y los cuatro miembros de su equipo alcanzan el Polo Sur, una hazaña increíble que no tardó en verse eclipsada cuando, se enteran al regresar, por sólo 4 semanas les había ganado la carrera una expedición noruega comandada por Roald Amudsen. Desmoralizados y exhaustos, emprenden el regreso a casa. Temiendo lo peor, Scott le escribe a su mujer, Kathleen, una carta en cuyo sobre anota "Para Mi Viuda". En la voz, Bárbara Espejo.

In 1955, The USS Wyandot set out for Antarctica as part of the US Navy's Operation Deep Freeze. My father, William R. Goodwin, was one of the Seabees on board. This episode features an interview with him that tells his story. It is accompanied by my re-imagining of the sea shanty Wellerman as The Wyandot Comes with new lyrics that tell my father's story.In 1957, The International Geophysical Year would bring scientists from eleven countries to Antarctica to study the geophysics of our planet. The objective of Operation Deep Freeze was to establish a Naval airstrip at McMurdo Sound, to be used as a staging ground for building a base at the South Pole the following summer. This episode features stories of life and death on the highest and coldest continent, early signs of climate change, powdered potatoes, 100 proof moonshine, and... a sea shanty!SHOW LINKSThe Wyandot Comes (complete song)Operation Deep FreezeUSS WyandotSeabeesThe race to the South PoleSacrifice Amid the Ice: Facing Facts on the Scott ExpeditionAmundsen's South Pole expeditionThe Antarctican SocietyRobert Falcon ScottVIDEO: Task Force 43  (Naval History and Heritage Youtube Channel)VIDEO: Operation Deep Freeze Phase 2International Geophysical Year (wiki)NASA International Geophysical YearDeath of Richard WilliamsWellermanSea Shanties on TikTok6 levels of Wellerman (Sea Shanty) (Youtube Guitar Tutorial  by Capo X)Antarctic Ice Sheet melting to lift sea level higher than thought, study saysAntarctica Melts Under Its Hottest Days on RecordCHAPTERS[00:00] Intro[01:54] The Death of Robert Falcon Scott[04:11] Operation Deep Freeze[08:08] The Wyandot Comes: Part 1[09:50] Old Grape Jelly[11:45] The Mechanic Who Drove the Weasel[13:48] The Wyandot Comes: Part 2[14:54] Drinking and Dying[19:52] The Wyandot Comes: Part 3[20:37] Let's get Geophysical[25:18] Adventures Make for Friendships Long[35:15] The Wyandot Comes: Part 4[36:06] Outro

Today I'm interviewing Ally Malinenko, debut author of the middle grade novel Ghost Girl. Ally writes poems and stories in a secret writing closet before dawn each day and is the author of several poetry collections, as well as two middle grade horror novels. She has a burning desire to go to Antarctica, specifically to the South Pole so she can see where Robert Falcon Scott died. You can find her online writing about smashing the patriarchy, writing anxiety, Doctor Who, David Bowie, and more patriarchy smashing. She's also a cancer survivor and Brooklyn resident where she lives with her husband. Today we're talking about the very normal experience of falling out of love with your debut novel, how celebration and grief go hand-in-hand when it comes to releasing a book out into the world, and the storyteller's essential role in cultivating empathy and creating community. Ally's story is raw and impactful and her relentless ability to push through is the perfect note to end on as the first season of Author Pep Talks comes to a close. So for the last time until I see you again in 2022, find a quiet place that's just for you, and enjoy my conversation with Ally Malinenko Connect with Ally online: Ally's Website Twitter Buy her books!

Damien is a contributing editor of the American Alpine Journal, he has worked for the prestigious Pilot d'Or, he has led a team that was following the footsteps of Robert Falcon Scott, he is author of several books and an avid Antarctica explorer who is combining his aptitude for vanquishing virgin peaks with science as he measures their elevation. Together with some researchers, Damien notes that some study “has led to the remarkable situation where it is possible that no one has stood on the true highest point of all the 8,000-meter peaks.” Through meticulous analysis of summit photos, satellite imagery the researchers contend that merely half of the mountaineers claiming a summit of Annapurna (8,091 meters) had reached the highest point, and almost all climbers on Manaslu (8,163 meters) had not topped out on the summit. “The summit is the summit, but climbing is more than summits.” Damien Gildea www.meetingexplorers.com

Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode we discuss the Robert Falcon Scott and his doomed trip to the Antarctic.

We made it! This is the final episode in season one… and it is a huge day for the medical research group SciMar. Some scientific discoveries are exciting because they reveal something that was previously unknown. But a lot of ‘discoveries' are actually visual confirmation of a proven fact. Roald Amundsen already knew the South Pole was in the middle of Antarctica. He already knew it was covered in ice and would be very, very cold. But he still risked his life to go see it. Oceanographers already knew that colossal squids were prowling the dark recesses of the seas, but it was still a landmark day when one was captured alive. And for SciMar, they already knew that the HISS hormone could make people more insulin sensitive and healthier, but the day they can demonstrate conclusively that it does what they always believed it could do will still be one for the ages. These science stories from history shed light on the modern research being done on type 2 diabetes. Specifically we highlight the work of SciMar as they examine the hormone HISS - hepatic insulin-sensitizing substance - and the effect it has on glucose levels in people who are insulin resistant. www.SciMar.ca
