The book tells about the expedition to the South Pole of the famous Norwegian traveler Roald Amundsen.

In 1911, two expeditions set off to conquer the South Pole: the Norwegian one, led by Roald Amundsen, and the English one, Robert Scott.

This competition ended on December 17, 1911 with the hoisting of the Norwegian flag on this coveted geographical point.

The conquest of the Earth's South Pole completed an entire era in the history of geographical discoveries, which is often called the unique heroic era of polar exploration.
