Amundsen

Over the course of seven summers from 2005 to 2011, scientists at America’s Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station bored 86 holes in the ice with a hot-water drill.

By the 100th anniversary of Amundsen’s successful transit, only 103 other transits had been completed.

The region of interest is known as the Amundsen Sea Sector, which means climate change is biting Earth in the ASS.

And Amundsen had then shown what stuff he was made of: both the great objects of the Gja's expedition were achieved.

We who knew Amundsen thought it would be more like him to avoid a place for the very reason that it had been trodden by others.

Amundsen had told me something of their arrangements on the way up, and I knew Hassel was responsible for coal, wood, and oil.

My interest is now divided between "it" in the bowl and Amundsen's return, with the meteorological discussion that will ensue.

There was not going to be any fun out there with Amundsen, who was sitting on the camp-stool half asleep.
