"One hundred years ago, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and British Royal Navy Captain Robert Falcon Scott competed to be the first to reach the South Pole. Examine photographs, historical artifacts, vivid dioramas, and interactive exhibits to discover how Amundsen and Scott prepared for their polar journeys and how they met, or were defeated by, the numerous hurdles they faced." The exhibit is a celebration "of what motivates us as humans to go out to explore and understand our world."
