A brief summary of " The Coldest Place on Earth "

The main characters in this book were Amundsen who was the captain of the Norwegian team and his assistant Bjaaland. On the other side were Scott the Captain of the British team and Oates. At the beginning, Scott planned to travel to the South Pole and discovered it, however Amundsen heard that news and decided to go there. Also, he considered it was a race. When Scott heard that Amundsen wanted to race him, he felt unhappy but accepted the challenge. Amundsen and his partners prepared well, but Scott was just thinking about Amundsen and forgot the race. Scott faced a lot of problems in his way and Amundsen arrived first to the South Pole with small problems which didn't affect his trip. At the end, when Scott discovered that Amundsen arrived before him, he decided to go back home. On his way, he died with three of his assistants because they didn't have enough food and they couldn't walk anymore. In my opinion, it was really useful book and I learned some new words from the book such as depot, sledge and ponies.
