Antarctic Exploration A History of the Turn-of-the-Century Pursuit of the South Pole 1903 On New Year's Day, after eight weeks of grueling travel by dog and man-hauling, Scott, Shackleton and Wilson turned northwards away from the South Pole "reluctantly forced to confess that all [their] trouble had been in vain."
