Tuesday, May 25, 2010
10:00AM - Noon
The American Museum of Natural History
Program at 10:30 am
Morning coffee will be served.
Race to the End of the Earth will recount one of the most stirring tales of Antarctic exploration: the contest to reach the South Pole in 1911–1912. The exhibition will focus on the challenges that the two competing explorers—Norwegian Roald Amundsenand Britain’s Royal Navy Captain Robert Falcon Scott—had to face as they undertook their 1,800-mile journeys from the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf tothe Pole and back. As they grappled with the complex logistics of the expedition—preparing equipment, securing nutrition, and estimating human endurance in the face of Antarctica’s extreme conditions—each team made crucial decisions that led to both triumph and tragedy. The exhibition also explores the legacy of these early expeditions by linking it with modern science in the Antarctic and the latest research on this unique continent.

Race to the End of the Earth
May 29, 2010 - January 2, 2011
The American Museum of Natural History
Central Park West at 79th Street
Race to the End of the Earth will recount one of the most stirring tales of Antarctic exploration: the contest to reach the South Pole in 1911-1912. The exhibition will focus on the challenges that the two competing explorers—Norwegian Roald Amundsen and British Royal Navy Captain Robert Falcon Scott—had to face as they undertook their 1,800-mile journeys from the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf to the Pole and back. Nutrition, human endurance, equipment, logistics, and Antarctica’s extreme weather conditions were among the many challenges that each team had to face, with outcomes that included both triumph and tragedy. The exhibition also reveals the legacy of these early expeditions by linking it with modern science in the Antarctic and the latest research on this unique continent’s distant past and its potential future.
"The race to the South Pole by Amundsen and Scott is one of the greatest stories of courage, endurance, and perseverance in expedition history," said Ellen V. Futter, President of the American Museum of Natural History. "The Museum can well identify with Scott and Amundsen's thirst for adventure and knowledge about the world as it has, since 1887, conducted hundreds of thousands of field expeditions to the far reaches of the globe, including to Antarctica, to study the natural world and the cultures of humanity. Today, with their own courage and perseverance, our 200 scientists set off on more than 120 research expeditions each year in an active program of cutting-edge field science which continually deepens our understanding of the world around us."
The exhibiton features photographs, paintings, historical artifacts, dioramas, and interactice features; placing visitors in the midst of Antarctic exploration and research at the dawn of the last century.
