The Race to the South Pole
Almost one hundred years ago, two teams of explorers set off on dueling quests to be the first to reach the South Pole. One team returned victorious without losing a single man, while the other team perished. We'll take a look at a new museum exhibition that looks at the histories of explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott.
Featured guest is Will Steger Foundation's Baffin Island Expedition basecamp manager, John Huston.
Jerry Stenger is the Media Development Director for the Will Steger Foundation and videographer for Global Warming 101 Expeditions. First joining Will in 1989 when he was preparing for his International Trans-Antarctica Expedition, Jerry continues to produce, shoot and edit video programming for Steger’s projects. His involvement with each of Will’s successive expeditions has taken him to places such as Siberia, the North Pole, Antarctica and northern Canada.
