When did Olav Bjaaland arrive at the South Pole?
Amundsen's South Pole expedition The first expedition to reach the geographic South Pole was led by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. He and four others arrived at the pole on 14 December 1911, five weeks ahead of a British party led by Robert Falcon Scott as part of the Terra Nova Expedition. Amundsen and his team returned safely to their base, and later learned that Scott and his four companions had died on their return journey.
Larsemann Hills The Larsemann Hills are a series of low rounded coastal hills along the southeastern shore of Prydz Bay, Antarctica extending for 9 nmi from Dålk Glacier. They were discovered in February 1935 by Captain Klarius Mikkelsen from the whaling ship "Thorshavn", sent out by Norwegian whaling magnate Lars Christensen, and given this name.
