[00:05.14] | Chapter 4 Food Depots |
[00:10.78] | The two ships,Terra Nova and fram, |
[00:15.74] | arrived in Antarctica,in January 1911, |
[00:21.07] | at the end of summer. |
[00:24.54] | The Englishmen and the Norwegians wanted to stay on the ice all winter. |
[00:31.98] | They wanted to be ready to go to the South Pole |
[00:35.81] | at the beginning of the next Antarctic summer. |
[00:41.00] | The dogs pulled the Norwegians'sledges. |
[00:45.49] | They ran quickly over the snow |
[00:47.93] | and pulled the big sledges from the ship onto the ice. |
[00:53.92] | The men ran beside them on skis. |
[00:58.37] | They put a big wooden house on the ice. |
[01:04.03] | The house was full of food, |
[01:06.33] | and skis,and sledges. |
[01:10.49] | They called it Framheim. |
[01:15.00] | Outside the house,the dogs lived in holes under the snow. |
[01:21.72] | When the house was ready, |
[01:25.13] | the men made their first journey south. |
[01:30.60] | Before the winter,they wanted to take a lot of food south, |
[01:36.61] | and leave it in depots. |
[01:41.33] | For the long journey to the Pole, |
[01:44.07] | they needed a lot of food, |
[01:47.42] | and they couldn't carry it all with them. |
[01:52.09] | On February 10th,five men, |
[01:55.83] | three sledges,eighteen dogs, |
[01:59.64] | and half a tonne of food left Framheim and went south. |
[02:07.02] | It was easy.The weather was warm for the Antarctic, |
[02:12.44] | between-7°Centigrade and-17°Centigrade. |
[02:18.95] | The snow was good, |
[02:21.60] | and the dogs and skis went fast. |
[02:25.81] | They went fifty or sixty kilometres every day. |
[02:31.90] | After four days they reached 80°South, |
[02:37.05] | and made the first depot. |
[02:41.37] | Amundsen made his depot very carefully. |
[02:46.90] | It was very important to find it again,next summer. |
[02:52.82] | So he put a big black flag on top. |
[02:57.70] | Then he put ten flags to the east of the depot- |
[03:02.86] | each flag half a kilometre from the next- |
[03:08.12] | and ten flags to the west. |
[03:11.78] | So there were flags for five kilometres to the left of the depot, |
[03:17.73] | and five kilometres to the right. |
[03:23.54] | Then they went back to Framheim, |
[03:26.84] | and took some more food south, |
[03:29.59] | this time to 82°South. |
[03:36.29] | This time it was harder. |
[03:39.58] | The temperature was sometimes -40°Centigrade, |
[03:46.00] | and there were strong winds with a lot of snow. |
[03:51.43] | The dogs and men were very tired, |
[03:55.17] | and the tents and boots were bad. |
[03:58.99] | At the second depot, |
[04:01.97] | they put out sixty flags, |
[04:04.41] | to help them find it again. |
[04:08.16] | They came back to Framheim on March 23rd. |
[04:13.50] | It was nearly winter in the Antarctic. |
[04:16.92] | Their ship Fram was far away now, |
[04:20.22] | near South America. |
[04:23.31] | They were alone on the ice. |
[04:28.04] | Oates went with Scott to make the first British depot. |
[04:33.99] | They left Cape Evans on January 25th. |
[04:39.57] | There were thirteen men, |
[04:42.50] | eight ponies,and twenty-six dogs. |
[04:48.18] | The dogs were faster than the ponies- |
[04:51.66] | they ran quickly over the top of the snow, |
[04:55.71] | but the ponies'feet went through it. |
[04:59.97] | Every morning the ponies started first, |
[05:03.83] | and the dogs started two hours later, |
[05:08.01] | because they ran faster. |
[05:11.44] | At night,the dogs made warm holes under the snow, |
[05:17.06] | but the ponies stood on top of the snow. |
[05:21.32] | It was -20°Centigrade. |
[05:25.94] | After fifteen days Oates talked to Scott. |
[05:31.93] | There was a strong wind, |
[05:34.03] | and the two men's faces were white with snow. |
[05:39.40] | 'Three of these ponies are ill,Captain,' |
[05:43.32] | Oates said.'They can't go on.' |
[05:48.43] | 'Don't be stupid,Oates,'Scott answered. |
[05:52.99] | 'They're good strong animals-the best ponies on earth.' |
[05:59.47] | 'Not these three,'Oates said. |
[06:03.85] | 'They're ill,and unhappy, |
[06:06.23] | and now they can't walk. |
[06:09.24] | Let's kill them,and leave the meat here,in the snow. |
[06:14.41] | We can eat it,or the dogs can.' |
[06:18.40] | 'Of course not!'Scott said angrily. |
[06:22.41] | 'These ponies are our friends, |
[06:25.55] | they work hard for us. |
[06:28.09] | I don't kill my friends!' |
[06:33.29] | Three days later,two of the ponies were dead. |
[06:39.12] | Scott's men were slower than Amundsen's; |
[06:43.37] | it took them twenty-four days to get to 80°South. |
[06:49.90] | They made a big depot there, |
[06:52.85] | and put one large black flag on top of it. |
[06:58.07] | Then they went back to Cape Evans. |
[07:02.98] | Their camp was on an island in the ice, |
[07:06.49] | and the sea ice moved sometimes. |
[07:10.93] | There were holes in the ice, |
[07:13.36] | and black sea water under it. |
[07:17.55] | One day seven ponies went through the ice into the sea,and died. |
[07:26.21] | One motor sledge also went into the sea. |
