[00:05.35] | Chapter 8 Across the Plateau |
[00:11.09] | On November 21st,the Norwegians killed thirty dogs. |
[00:16.73] | 'They were happy,'Amundsen said. |
[00:19.41] | 'And now tney're going to die quickly. |
[00:22.04] | We need three sledges, |
[00:23.95] | and eighteen dogs, to go to the Pole.' |
[00:28.47] | When the dogs were dead, |
[00:30.08] | the other dogs ate them. |
[00:32.20] | The men ate them,too. |
[00:35.44] | They were good friends,Bjaaland wrote in his diary. |
[00:39.46] | And now they are good food. |
[00:42.80] | Two days later,the dogs were fat. |
[00:47.85] | Then,in a snowstorm, |
[00:50.10] | they began the journey again. |
[00:53.34] | After the snowstorm,there was fog, |
[00:56.45] | and in the fog, |
[00:58.02] | they got lost on an ice river with hundreds of big holes in it. |
[01:03.12] | They could see nothing,and it was very dangerous. |
[01:08.64] | In four days they moved nine kilometres. |
[01:13.81] | But the ice is beautiful,Bjaaland wrote. |
[01:18.11] | Blue and green and white. |
[01:21.15] | This is a wonderful place - |
[01:24.20] | but I don't want to stay a long time. |
[01:29.09] | After the ice,there were strong winds and bad snowstorms. |
[01:34.36] | They could see nothing in front of them. |
[01:37.58] | But every day,they travelled twenty-five or thirty kilometres. |
[01:43.32] | Then,on December 9th,the sun came out. |
[01:48.96] | They were at 88°23′South- |
[01:53.75] | 175 kilometres from the Pole. |
[01:59.01] | Five more long days,Bjaaland wrote. |
[02:03.19] | That's all now.But where is Scott? |
[02:08.52] | For four days,Scott's men stayed in their tents near the mountains. |
[02:15.83] | There is a bad snowstorm outside,Oates wrote. |
[02:20.52] | It's too cold for the ponies, |
[02:22.85] | and our clothes and skis are bad,too. |
[02:27.52] | On December 9th,Oates killed the ponies. |
[02:31.75] | They were tired and ill and they could not walk up to the plateau. |
[02:37.44] | Then Meares and his dogs went back to Cape Evans. |
[02:41.85] | 'We can pull the sledges ourselves,' |
[02:44.14] | Scott said.'We can do it-we're all strong men. |
[02:50.62] | There were two sledges and eight men. |
[02:54.18] | They went twenty-four kilometres a day. |
[02:57.99] | On December 31st,Scott said to Teddy Evans, |
[03:02.30] | and the men on the second sledge:'You can't ski well. |
[03:06.26] | Leave your skis here. |
[03:08.77] | 'So they pulled their sledge twenty-four kilometres without skis. |
[03:14.72] | Next day,Scott went to Teddy Evans's tent. |
[03:19.42] | 'You are ill,Teddy,'he said. |
[03:22.06] | 'You can't come to the Pole. |
[03:24.92] | Take two men and go back,tomorrow.' |
[03:29.38] | Teddy Evans was very unhappy. |
[03:32.62] | 'Two men,Captain?'he said. |
[03:35.72] | 'Why not three?' |
[03:38.10] | 'Because Bowers is going to come with me,' |
[03:41.10] | Scott said.'He's strong-we need him.' |
[03:46.28] | 'But…you have food on your sledge for four men,not five!' |
[03:51.25] | Evans said.'And Bowers has no skis!' |
[03:56.53] | 'I'm the Captain,Teddy!'Scott said. |
[04:00.04] | 'You do what I say. |
[04:02.46] | Take two men and leave Bowers with me!' |
[04:07.08] | Oates wrote to his mother: |
[04:10.14] | I am going to the Pole with Scott. |
[04:12.77] | I am pleased and I fell strong. |
[04:16.12] | But in his diary he wrote; |
[04:19.55] | My feet are very bad. |
[04:22.54] | They are always wet now, |
[04:25.40] | and they don't look good. |
[04:29.39] | On January 4th Scott's men left Teddy Evans and went on. |
[04:35.02] | Scott,Oates,Wilson and Edgar Evans had skis, |
[04:40.78] | but Bowers did not. |
[04:43.30] | They were 270 kilometres from the Pole. |
[04:50.15] | December 14th 1911 was a warm,sunny day. |
[04:55.70] | Five Norwegians skied over the beautiful white snow. |
[05:00.53] | It was very quiet. |
[05:02.62] | No one spoke. |
[05:04.78] | They were excited,and happy. |
[05:08.37] | 'Six more kilometres,'Bjaaland thought. |
[05:12.57] | Is there a British flag? |
[05:14.91] | I can't see a flag,but… |
[05:17.95] | 'Look!'Hassel said. |
[05:20.53] | 'What's that over there?' |
[05:22.97] | Bjaaland left his sledge and skied quickly away over the snow. |
[05:27.70] | 'What is it?'he thought. |
[05:30.00] | 'Is it…?No!' |
[05:33.00] | 'It's nothing!'he called. |
[05:35.89] | 'There's nothing there… nothing!' |
[05:40.56] | Three kilometres,two.'Roald!'Hanssen called to Amundsen. |
[05:47.61] | 'Go in front of me,please.It helps my dogs.' |
[05:52.63] | 'That's not true,'Bjaaland thought.' |
[05:55.81] | His dogs are running well today. |
[05:58.50] | But Hanssen wants Amundsen to be first. |
[06:01.90] | The first man at the South Pole!' |
[06:06.41] | They skied on and on,over the beautiful snow. |
[06:11.12] | 'Stop!'Amundsen said. |
[06:15.64] | He waited quietly for his men. |
[06:19.16] | 'This is it,'he said. |
[06:23.93] | Bjaaland looked at him. |
[06:26.37] | 'But there's nothing here,'he said. |
[06:29.56] | Amundsen smiled.'Oh yes there is,'he said. |
[06:35.43] | 'There's something very important here,Olav. |
[06:39.85] | Very,very important.' |
[06:43.69] | 'What's that,Roald?' |
[06:45.77] | 'Us.We're here now.Isn't that important,Olav?' |
[06:53.21] | The four men stood on the snow, |
[06:56.05] | and looked at him. |
[06:58.54] | Then,slowly,they all began to laugh. |
