Episode 71: Race to the South Pole, Part two Histories And Mysteries

    • Comedy

Before the Cold War race to the moon between the USA and the USSR, there was the purely peaceable race to the South Pole between the British Empire and the recently independent nation of Norway. The Norse were led by Roald Amundsen with his traditional, low-tech approach of sled dogs and skis, while the British were led by Naval stalwart Robert Falcon Scott and his experimental strategy of motor sledges and horses.

Join Jessica and Janel as they discuss frostbite, dog cannibalism, and H.P. Lovecraft's deep fear of penguins.
