Departures 18 Thomas Cook Travel Celebrate the centenary of the great race to the South Pole WHEN ROBERT Falcon Scott and ADVENTURE his men arrived at the South Pole in January 1912 to find that the rival team – led by Norwegian Roald Amundsen – had beaten them by over a month, the British explorer wrote in his diary: “Great God! This is an awful place.” With frostbite and -30°C wind chill to contend with – not to mention the fact that he lost that great race 100 years ago – it's no wonder Scott's review was less than glowing. But there’s no denying the dramatic, desolate beauty of Antarctica, or why the appeal of this icy wilderness endures. For a start, it has less annual precipitation than the UK and is technically a desert, albeit a rather frosty one. Then there’s the brilliant wildlife – from humpback whales, orcas, fur seals and a whopping 17 species of penguins. Polar hero Amundsen (pictured) would have encountered these creatures after sailing the exploration ship Fram around the Falkland Islands and Cape Horn, before traversing the White Continent's glaciers and peaks on husky-driven sledges to finish in pole position. You could mark the centenary of Amundsen's expedition to the South Pole by taking part in a similarly challenging Antarctic ski or ice marathon. Or, better still, take in the breathtaking landscape on the comfort of a cruise ship. Hurtigruten’s very own ms Fram will sail a 17-day voyage through the Chilean fjords and Antarctic Peninsula, with special onboard celebrations on 14 December to mark the centennial, on 4 December (departing from Buenos Aires). Like Amundsen, it's guaranteed to be a winner. See cruisethomascook.com for more information PHOTOGRAPHY ALAMY
