It was said that Amundsen's team was so well prepared and had enough food that most of the team gained weight by the time they reached back to their ships.

[@xandr13]

Yes, that was proper project management. I highly recommend Amundsen's diaries.

[@robertfraser7943]

that is what happens when you get a team that know what they are doing

[@williampoole1742]

It makes sense, the combination of damn near 16 hours of physically demanding work a day combined with a diet of almost pure fat and protein, I'm sure they all resembled old fashioned bodybuilders by the end of the trip lol

[@Zuflux]

@@williampoole1742 A lesson to learn from the winter war as well; the finnish soldiers rations were highly focused on fatty foods, whereas the soviets did not have access to the same. When Russian soldiers would freeze to death in the cold, the Finnish ones were nice and warm, burning huge amounts of fat.

[@milanstevic8424]

Of course they gained weight, the ate all their dogs except one...

[@dertomh]

Another reason why Amundsen was so successful is that he marched exactly the same amount of kilometres every day (27km or so, I am not sure). Depending on the topography, it was quite tiring. On other terrain however, they saved some energy instead of marching until exhaustion.

[@Strutter1980]

I heard that Amundsen was in the bath back home in Norway when his wife came in and told him that Scott had perished in the Antarctic. Standing up in the bath he said, "He's beaten me!" meaning that because Scott died on his journey he would be the one people talked about instead of Amundsen who reached the South Pole first.

[@SwedieYT]

Fun fact: Amundsen actually borowed Fridtjof Nansen's ship, a famous norwegian explorer and nobel peace prize winner, who had wanted him to go to the North Pole for sciense. But since they were rivals and competitive, Amundsen went straight to the south. Unfortunatly, of all the dogs that went with him, only one returned named "Obersten".

you forgot scurvy. they brought the wrong supplies and most of them succumb to scurvy, that hinders their mobility on the way back

[@Dill_Pickle1997]

I thought you could only get that at sea?

[@kristianstrm2375]

​​​@@Dill_Pickle1997Scurvy is caused by malnourishment, or specifically a lack of vitamin C, which is found in fresh food, especially fruits and vegetables. On sea voyages, people got scurvy from the lack of fresh food. Antarctic expeditions faced the same problem. Amundsen had learned from previous expeditions how important it was to plan what you ate, and how to get the right foods.

as a Norwegian, i find it so weird that in every video ive seen about this topic, they allways cover Scott´s journey so much more than the winner Roald Amundsen. in this video aswell they cover Scotts journey and they have 10 seconds at the end where they show Amundsen.

yeah. its a little confusing. Because Roald Amundsens journey is in itself a fascinating story.

Scott was a military man and ran his significantly larger team like a regiment. Amundsen spent his own money to expand his library and brought it along for the trip, insisting the crew read up

[@JohnAnonym]

just add salt upon injuries... Scott's team could had fared better with full usage of skii's. from Wikipedia: "Scott took the Norwegian pilot and skier Tryggve Gran to the Antarctic on the recommendation of Nansen to train his expedition to ski, but although a few of his party began to learn, he made no arrangements for compulsory training for the full party. Gran (possibly because he was Norwegian) was not included in the South Pole party, which could have made a difference. Gran was, one year later, the first to locate the deceased Scott and his remaining companions in their tent just some 18 km (11 miles) short of One Ton depot, that might have saved their lives had they reached it. Scott would subsequently complain in his diary, while well into his journey and therefore too late to take any corrective action and after over 10 years since the Discovery expedition, that "Skis are the thing, and here are my tiresome fellow countrymen too prejudiced to have prepared themselves for the event"" And people wounder why Norwegians, and scandinavia, love our skii's so much that we take home most of the medals during winter olympics?
