Amundsen's Norwegian party stand at the South Pole, 1. December 1. 91. 1. Significant steps on the road to the pole were the discovery of lands south of Cape Horn in 1. Captain James Cook's crossing of the Antarctic Circle in 1. Antarctic mainland in 1. From the late 1. 9th century onward, the quest for Farthest South latitudes became in effect a race to reach the pole, which culminated in Roald Amundsen's success in December 1. In the years before reaching the pole was a realistic objective, other motives drew adventurers southward. Initially, the driving force was the discovery of new trade routes between Europe and the Far East. After such routes had been established and the main geographical features of the earth had been broadly mapped, the lure for mercantile adventurers was the great fertile continent of . Belief in the existence of this supposed land of plenty persisted well into the 1. Southern Ocean. James Cook's voyages of 1. This caused a shift of emphasis in the first half of the 1. After the first overwintering on continental Antarctica in 1. South Pole appeared realistic, and the race for the pole began. The British were pre- eminent in this endeavour, which was characterised by the rivalry between Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Shackleton's efforts fell short; Scott reached the pole in January 1. Norwegian Amundsen. Early voyagers. That gave Portugal dominance of the only known route to the east. The exploration of the south began as part of the search for such a route. However, the most southerly parts of South America were already inhabited by tribes such as the Selk'nam/Ona, the Yag. Fuegian Indian artefacts and canoe remnants have also been discovered on the Falkland Islands, suggesting the capacity for even longer sea journeys. There are also remains of a Polynesian settlement dating back to the 1. Enderby Island in the Auckland Islands. A shard of undated, unidentified pottery, reported as found in 1. Antipodes Islands, has been associated with this expedition. The South American coast was sighted on 6 December 1. Magellan moved cautiously southward, following the coast to reach latitude 4. Little if anything was known of the coast south of this point, so Magellan decided to wait out the southern winter here, and established the settlement of Puerto San Julian. Here Magellan found a deep inlet which proved to be the strait he was seeking, later to be known by his name. This was a record Farthest South for a European navigator, though not the farthest southern penetration by man; the position was north of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, where there is evidence of human settlement dating back thousands of years. In January 1. 52. San Lesmes was blown south from the Atlantic entrance of the Magellan Strait to a point where the crew thought they saw a headland, and water beyond it, which indicated the southern extremity of the continent. It is speculation as to which headland they saw; conceivably it was Cape Horn. In parts of the Spanish- speaking world it is believed that de Hoces may have discovered the strait later known as the Drake Passage more than 5. Sir Francis Drake, the British privateer. His principal objective was plunder, not exploration; his initial targets were the unfortified Spanish towns on the Pacific coasts of Chile and Peru. Following Magellan's route, Drake reached Puerto San Julian on 2. June. After nearly two months in harbour, Drake left the port with a reduced fleet of three ships and a small pinnace. His ships entered the Magellan Strait on 2. August and emerged in the Pacific Ocean on 6 September. The Marigold was sunk by a giant wave; the Elizabeth managed to return into the Magellan Strait, later sailing eastwards back to England; the pinnace was lost later. The gales persisted for more than seven weeks. The Golden Hinde was driven far to the west and south, before clawing its way back towards land. On 2. 2 October, the ship anchored off an island which Drake named . However, there is no island at that latitude. The as yet undiscovered Diego Ram. This indicates that the navigational calculation was faulty, and that Drake landed at or near the then unnamed Cape Horn, possibly on Horn Island itself. His final southern latitude can only be speculated as that of Cape Horn, at 5. In his report, Drake wrote: . Hoorn was lost in a fire, but Eendracht continued southward. On 2. 9 January 1. Schouten reached what he discerned to be the southernmost cape of the South American continent; he named this point Kaap Hoorn (Cape Horn) after his hometown and his lost ship. Schouten's navigational readings are inaccurate. His claim to have reached 5. The Garcia de Nodal expedition discovered a small group of islands about 6. Cape Horn, at latitude 5. They named these the Diego Ramirez Islands after the expedition's pilot. The islands remained the most southerly known land on earth until Captain James Cook's discovery of the South Sandwich Islands in 1. After pausing at Cape Town, on 2. November the two ships sailed due south, but were driven to the east by heavy gales. This soon became a solid barrier, which tested Cook's seamanship as he manoeuvered for a passage through. Further progress was barred by ice, and the ships turned north- eastwards and headed for New Zealand, which they reached on 2. March. This southern record would hold for 4. Cook wrote that if any such continent existed it would be . In 1. 81. 9, William Smith, in command of the brigantine. Williams, discovered the South Shetland Islands. He is thus credited as the first person to see the continent's mainland, although he did not make this claim himself. If his landing was not on an island, his party were the first to set foot on the Antarctic continent. In 1. 81. 9, in command of the 1. Jane which had been adapted for whaling, he set sail for the newly discovered whaling grounds of the South Sandwich Islands. His chief interest on this voyage was in finding the . He failed to discover this non- existent land, but his sealing activities showed a handsome profit. This suited Weddell's exploring instincts, and he equipped his vessel with chronometers, thermometers, compasses, barometers and charts. Finding none, he turned southward down the 4. Unaware that he was close to land, Weddell decided to return northward from this point, convinced that the sea continued as far as the South Pole. Morrell claimed to have reached 7. This land proved not to exist. Morrell's reputation as a liar and a fraud means that most of his geographical claims have been dismissed by scholars, although attempts have been made to rationalise his assertions. The expedition had first been proposed by leading astronomer Sir John Herschel, and was supported by the Royal Society and the British Association for the Advancement of Science. On 1. 1 January a long mountainous coastline that stretched to the south was sighted. Ross named the land Victoria Land, and the mountains the Admiralty Range. He followed the coast southwards and passed Weddell's Farthest South point of 7. A few days later, as they moved further eastward to avoid shore ice, they were met by the sight of twin volcanoes (one of them active), which were named Mount Erebus and Mount Terror, in honour of the expedition's ships. In his search for a strait or inlet, Ross explored 3. Although Ross had not been able to land on the Antarctic continent, nor approach the location of the South Magnetic Pole, on his return to England in 1. In the patriotic spirit engendered by Murray's call, and under the influence of RGS president Sir Clements Markham, British endeavours in the following years gave particular weight to the achievement of new Farthest South records. In January 1. 89. Borchgrevink was one of a group from that expedition that claimed the first confirmed landing on the Antarctic continent, at Cape Adare. Here a shore party was landed and was the first to over- winter on the Antarctic mainland, in a prefabricated hut. This party ascended the Barrier and made the first sledge journey on the barrier surface; on 1. February 1. 90. 0 they extended the Farthest South record to 7. Historian David Crane commented that if Borchgrevink had been a British naval officer, his contribution to Antarctic knowledge might have been better received, but . Although according to Edward Wilson the intention was to . However, a southern journey towards the pole was within Scott's formal remit to . The party set out on 1 November 1. Michael Barne, passed Borchgrevink's Farthest South mark on 1. November, an event recorded with great high spirits in Wilson's diary. Four years later, Shackleton organised his own polar venture, the Nimrod Expedition, 1. This was the first expedition to set the definite objective of reaching the South Pole, and to have a specific strategy for doing so. A specially adapted motor car was also taken. The size of Shackleton's four- man polar party was dictated by the number of surviving ponies; of the ten that were embarked in New Zealand, only four had survived the 1. On 2. 6 November they surpassed the farthest point reached by Scott's 1. Here they planted the Union Jack presented to them by Queen Alexandra, and took possession of the plateau in the name of King Edward VII. Shackleton was treated as a hero on his return to England. However, the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, who had been developing plans for a North Pole expedition, changed his mind when, in September 1. North Pole was claimed in quick succession by the Americans Frederick Cook and Robert Peary. Amundsen resolved to go south instead. This became the location of Amundsen's base camp, Framheim. Shackleton's Farthest South mark was passed on 7 December, and the South Pole was reached on 1. December 1. 91. 1. Captain Scott's five- man team reached the same point 3. On 2. 8 November 1. US Navy Commander (later Rear- Admiral) Richard E. Byrd and three others completed the first aircraft flight over the South Pole.
