A hundred years ago, two teams were racing to the South Pole. The Norwegian team led by Roald Amundsen made it first, beating British explorer Robert Scott. But only Scott did pioneering science?and photography?along the way. Ira Flatow and guests discuss the achievements of the first Antarctic expeditions.
