In the early 1900s, one destination remained untouched by human beings – the South Pole. Antarctica's ruthless weather, including blizzards and temperatures that can reach -119ºF in the winter, made human beings' attempts to reach this remote location all but impossible.

The Race to the South Pole is sure to capture any reader's attention.
