Can you imagine one of
the greatest races in history
00:00:27.96\00:00:31.26
happened here in Antarctica, the
most remote continent on earth?
00:00:31.29\00:00:35.56
Yes, two men racing across this
forbidding ice and snow. It was
00:00:35.60\00:00:41.77
a race to the death; only one
would return alive. It would be
00:00:41.80\00:00:46.44
a contest between the English
Naval officer Captain Robert
00:00:46.47\00:00:50.01
Scott and the Norwegian explorer
Roald Amundsen. Back in 1911
00:00:50.05\00:00:56.05
each one wanted to be the first
human being to reach the South
00:00:56.08\00:01:00.26
Pole. After all, back then every
continent had been conquered
00:01:00.29\00:01:04.93
except this one. Well one man
would plant a flag at the bottom
00:01:04.96\00:01:09.86
if the earth, the other would
die trying. There were some
00:01:09.90\00:01:14.90
fascinating facts behind
the heroic winner and the tragic
00:01:14.94\00:01:20.04
loser. You're about to discover
just what made the difference.
00:01:20.08\00:01:24.81

00:01:24.85\00:01:44.30
Antarctica is the southernmost
continent. It covers roughly 14
00:01:44.33\00:01:48.77
million square kilometers. It's
bigger than Europe and almost
00:01:48.80\00:01:52.37
double the size of Australia.
Most of Antarctica is covered in
00:01:52.41\00:01:57.18
ice two kilometers thick. In
some places the ice is more than
00:01:57.21\00:02:01.78
four kilometers thick. Around
90 percent of all the ice on the
00:02:01.82\00:02:06.15
earth is found in Antarctica. If
all this ice were to melt, sea
00:02:06.19\00:02:11.63
levels would rise around 60
meters. Antarctica is a harsh
00:02:11.66\00:02:16.77
and forbidding place. It's the
coldest, windiest, driest, and
00:02:16.80\00:02:22.54
emptiest place on earth.
Any life that manages to survive
00:02:22.57\00:02:27.38
here does so in the face
of incredible conditions.
00:02:27.41\00:02:30.61
Temperatures can fall to almost
minus 90 degrees Celsius. Winds
00:02:30.65\00:02:36.15
reach up to 300 km/hour. Only
about four centimeters of rain
00:02:36.18\00:02:41.56
fall here a year in the form
of snow. And, as mentioned, it's
00:02:41.59\00:02:46.09
the emptiest place on earth.
Apart from the penguins and a
00:02:46.13\00:02:50.60
scattering of other species it's
population is zero. Human beings
00:02:50.63\00:02:55.87
cannot live here permanently.
In fact the Antarctic continent
00:02:55.90\00:03:01.81
wasn't even actually seen by
anyone until 1820 and no person
00:03:01.84\00:03:07.02
set foot in Antarctica until
1895. Just 16 years later in
00:03:07.05\00:03:13.72
this harsh and unbearable
environment the greatest of
00:03:13.76\00:03:17.26
races took place. And the
starting line was in the Ross
00:03:17.29\00:03:22.26
Sea at the edge of the great ice
barrier. This stupendous mass
00:03:22.30\00:03:26.63
constantly cracks, shifts and
drifts but in 1911 the finish
00:03:26.67\00:03:34.01
line lay about a thousand
kilometers inland, a latitude of
00:03:34.04\00:03:37.45
90 degrees south, better known
as the South Pole. But what
00:03:37.48\00:03:43.35
would compel anyone to
compete in such a deadly race?
00:03:43.39\00:03:47.52
The answer to that question lies
on the other side of the globe.
00:03:47.56\00:03:52.23
In 1901, Captain Robert Scott
was the naval officer in charge
00:03:52.26\00:03:58.83
of the first British venture
to the Antarctic, a discovery
00:03:58.87\00:04:03.64
expedition. The British Empire's
Royal Society contributed quite
00:04:03.67\00:04:08.78
a few scientists that
would study everything from
00:04:08.81\00:04:11.81
paleontology to meteorology
and the earth's magnetic fields.
00:04:11.85\00:04:17.49
Sometime during this journey
to the continent of ice a grand
00:04:17.52\00:04:22.76
idea began to grow in Scott's
mind. What if he could discover
00:04:22.79\00:04:27.86
the South Pole, be the first
human to set foot on it? It
00:04:27.90\00:04:33.23
would take Scott a further
six years after the discovery
00:04:33.27\00:04:36.47
expedition to develop this
ambition, but in 1910 he would
00:04:36.50\00:04:43.98
launch the Terra Nova expedition
with one goal in mind:
00:04:44.01\00:04:47.25
But Scott wasn't the only
one with ambition to conquer the
00:04:58.56\00:05:01.53
world's last unknown spaces.
Captain Roald Amundsen was a
00:05:01.56\00:05:05.93
Norwegian explorer and
was the first to sail the
00:05:05.97\00:05:08.90
Arctic's Northwest
00:05:08.94\00:05:10.27
Passage. He also spent a winter
south of the Antarctic circle
00:05:10.31\00:05:14.34
in 1898. In 1909 he was
preparing to mount an expedition
00:05:14.38\00:05:22.85
to reach the North Pole when
news arrived that two American
00:05:22.88\00:05:26.09
explorers claimed to have got
there ahead of him. He continued
00:05:26.12\00:05:29.66
his preparations but quietly
changed his goal. On August 9,
00:05:29.69\00:05:37.27
1911, he set sail in his
unique ice resistant ship Fram.
00:05:37.30\00:05:43.14
Two months into his voyage he
announced to the world his real
00:05:43.17\00:05:48.88
destination. Amundsen was
heading for the South Pole:
00:05:48.91\00:05:51.55
Amundsen made it to the opposite
end of the planet with his team,
00:06:01.99\00:06:07.93
his supplies and his secret
intact. It was only when he
00:06:07.96\00:06:11.43
sailed out of his last port
of call that he sent a cable to
00:06:11.47\00:06:16.14
Scott who was making his
own preparations in Melbourne.
00:06:16.17\00:06:18.51
Beg, leave to inform you, Fram
proceeding Antarctic Amundsen.
00:06:18.54\00:06:27.88
The race was on. Suddenly both
of these men would end up in the
00:06:27.92\00:06:34.16
Antarctic with a purpose.
In January of 1911 Amundsen
00:06:34.19\00:06:39.93
set on his race on the Ross
Ice Shelf at the Bay of Whales.
00:06:39.96\00:06:44.97
Scott would start out at
Cape Evans on Ross Island. Both
00:06:45.00\00:06:49.60
resolved to set out as soon
as winter ended. And the two set
00:06:49.64\00:06:55.38
off roughly about the same time.
Amundsen on October 20, Scott on
00:06:55.41\00:07:01.32
November 1. Both would end
up leading a small team of five.
00:07:01.35\00:07:07.49
Amundsen's group was closer
to the Pole by about 96 km.
00:07:07.52\00:07:10.83
But Scott's
00:07:10.86\00:07:12.63
route was more familiar. He had
traveled in this region before.
00:07:12.66\00:07:17.63
And another British explorer,
Ernest Shackleton, had trekked
00:07:17.67\00:07:23.24
most of the way before him and
had come within 157 km of the
00:07:23.27\00:07:27.64
Pole. One of these men would be
the first to stand at the South
00:07:27.68\00:07:32.71
Pole. The other would never
return. He would become a frozen
00:07:32.75\00:07:37.65
body in this icy world. What
made the difference? How did one
00:07:37.69\00:07:43.16
man win the race while the other
walked to his death. So who won
00:07:43.19\00:07:49.06
the race to the South Pole?
Who survived and who didn't? On
00:07:49.10\00:07:58.74
December 14, 1911 it was Roald
Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer
00:07:58.77\00:08:04.31
that first reached the bottom of
the planet. It was this man who
00:08:04.35\00:08:09.25
put up a flag at 90 degrees
south in latitude. Amundsen
00:08:09.28\00:08:14.96
arrived at the South Pole where
no other person had ever stood
00:08:14.99\00:08:18.79
a full 33 days ahead of Scott,
almost five weeks, an incredible
00:08:18.83\00:08:26.40
triumph. But happened to
Robert Scott. His story is far
00:08:26.43\00:08:32.94
more bleak. Scott and his men
managed to make it all the way
00:08:32.97\00:08:37.41
to the South Pole, but only to
discover that the Norwegians had
00:08:37.45\00:08:43.12
beat them to it. In his
diary, Scott admitted this was a
00:08:43.15\00:08:48.39
horrible day. And then he
wrote something quite scary. He
00:08:48.42\00:08:54.10
admitted for the first time that
he and his companions might not
00:08:54.13\00:08:58.07
survive the 1000 km journey back
to the coast. The five did start
00:08:58.10\00:09:03.67
their return journey across the
icy plains. Soon the team grew
00:09:03.71\00:09:08.54
more exhausted and frost bitten
but they trudged on. Scott still
00:09:08.58\00:09:13.78
stopped to collect 14 kg
of fossilized plants to add to
00:09:13.82\00:09:17.69
their sled but
00:09:17.72\00:09:19.49
injuries were mounting and
wounds were failing to heal.
00:09:19.52\00:09:24.39
At the bottom of the glacier
Edgar Evans collapsed and died.
00:09:24.43\00:09:29.96
Then the weather deteriorated.
Their progress slowed to a crawl
00:09:30.00\00:09:36.00
Their supplies diminished to
almost nothing. Soon they were
00:09:36.04\00:09:40.88
huddled together in a tent while
the wind piled snow around them.
00:09:40.91\00:09:44.75
Lawrence Oates sacrificed
himself for the group by
00:09:44.78\00:09:49.45
wandering out into the snow.
The remaining three struggled on
00:09:49.48\00:09:54.39
trying desperately to
reach a vital supply depot. But
00:09:54.42\00:09:59.93
Scott's diary records that
he sensed the end was near:
00:09:59.96\00:10:03.90
On March 29, 1912 Henry Bowers,
Edward Wilson and Robert Scott
00:10:13.78\00:10:22.12
would die in their tent of cold,
dehydration and starvation only
00:10:22.15\00:10:28.89
18 km from the next supply depot
Tragically the planner would
00:10:28.92\00:10:36.16
pass away in that brutal ice
world. A nationally celebrated
00:10:36.20\00:10:40.50
explorer but one who failed to
attain his goal, while Amundsen
00:10:40.54\00:10:48.04
would arrive safely back in
Tasmania without losing a single
00:10:48.08\00:10:52.65
man hailed as a hero by kings
and countrymen. Now I'd like to
00:10:52.68\00:11:00.02
share something very important
with you about these two racers
00:11:00.06\00:11:03.12
to the South Pole. Here's the
real distinction between the two
00:11:03.16\00:11:08.73
teams. This is what really
lies behind ponies versus dogs.
00:11:08.76\00:11:13.77
walking versus skiing,
scientists versus navigators.
00:11:13.80\00:11:18.11
Now ponies were just part of
Scott's transportation. His plan
00:11:18.14\00:11:24.11
actually had four options
to start with: Ponies, motor
00:11:24.15\00:11:30.65
sledges, man hauling and some
dogs. Unfortunately they were
00:11:30.69\00:11:34.92
all partial options. The motor
sledges quickly broke down. They
00:11:34.96\00:11:40.16
hadn't been tested in polar
conditions. What's more Scott
00:11:40.20\00:11:44.60
sent the dogs back to
the starting camp when he was
00:11:44.63\00:11:48.54
three quarters of the way to the
Pole. He didn't think they would
00:11:48.57\00:11:52.31
do well traversing the crevasse
pocked terrain. And the ponies,
00:11:52.34\00:11:56.95
well they made slow painful
progress. Scott and his men had
00:11:56.98\00:12:02.42
build walls of snow each night
to protect those animals from
00:12:02.45\00:12:06.49
the freezing wind. They weren't
built for this cold. Their hoofs
00:12:06.52\00:12:12.23
sank deep, their sweaty harness
froze up. They didn't survive
00:12:12.26\00:12:17.37
very far. This man actually
wanted to rely on man hauling
00:12:17.40\00:12:21.34
in a way because of the source
of pride. Scott put it this way:
00:12:21.37\00:12:25.17
So Scott's men put themselves
in the harnesses and dragged 90
00:12:35.98\00:12:41.16
kilo sleds step by step to the
pole. Amundsen, however, focused
00:12:41.19\00:12:48.10
on basic transportation means.
He used husky-type dogs who were
00:12:48.13\00:12:52.87
made to survive in this
cold, icy world. They were low
00:12:52.90\00:12:56.54
maintenance haulers. They would
find shelter from the icy winds
00:12:56.57\00:13:00.74
and keep themselves warm by
digging holes in the snow and
00:13:00.78\00:13:05.31
crawling in. Amundsen understood
he needed those dogs hauling
00:13:05.35\00:13:11.15
sleds. Ironically Scott would
march nine or ten hours a day
00:13:11.19\00:13:15.62
desperately trying to win the
race. Amundsen would travel only
00:13:15.66\00:13:20.76
five or six hours a day and yet
he sometimes covered twice the
00:13:20.80\00:13:25.20
ground than Scott had because
those huskies were dependable
00:13:25.23\00:13:29.34
moving quickly across the ice.
Beautiful isn't it. Ice and snow
00:13:29.37\00:13:35.21
may be easy on the eyes but
they can also be very hard work
00:13:35.24\00:13:38.95
on the muscles. Another thing
Scott and his party failed to
00:13:38.98\00:13:42.98
take into consideration. These
aren't just tools you can pick
00:13:43.02\00:13:48.06
up and use straight away.
Amundsen on the other hand
00:13:48.09\00:13:51.79
understood he and his men had
to prepare for skiing. He didn't
00:13:51.83\00:13:56.80
just select experienced
skiers. For months ahead of time
00:13:56.83\00:14:00.84
Amundsen designed special skis
and goggles and dog harnesses.
00:14:00.87\00:14:05.81
They field tested each one. He
honed each one into better shape
00:14:05.84\00:14:11.41
He also designed better tents
and stripped back his sledges.
00:14:11.45\00:14:17.39
This man knew that trekking
across the ice wouldn't be easy.
00:14:17.42\00:14:21.12
He needed all the help he
could get. Scott, however, found
00:14:21.16\00:14:27.30
himself busy with other things.
He and his men did refine their
00:14:27.33\00:14:31.63
equipment somewhat during the
winter but they spent quite a
00:14:31.67\00:14:35.47
bit of time just writing letters
playing sports and giving
00:14:35.50\00:14:40.34
lectures to each other. When it
came to moving across that ice
00:14:40.38\00:14:43.88
flow Scott would discover that
his were unwieldy and prone to
00:14:43.91\00:14:48.48
tipping over, possibly because
they were also overloaded and
00:14:48.52\00:14:53.05
his men's lack of ski experience
would tell against them. Scott
00:14:53.09\00:14:57.86
would even decide to add an
extra man to the group that made
00:14:57.89\00:15:01.43
the last trek to the South Pole,
one that didn't even have skis
00:15:01.46\00:15:06.53
and that meant more walking,
more unnecessary struggling.
00:15:06.57\00:15:11.07
And what about the people
who made up Scott and Amundsen's
00:15:11.11\00:15:16.11
expeditions. The scientists
versus the navigators. Well the
00:15:16.14\00:15:21.92
bottom line is this. Amundsen
focused on one single goal,
00:15:21.95\00:15:28.22
reaching the South Pole. But
Scott wanted to be recognized
00:15:28.26\00:15:32.93
as making scientific
accomplishments too, so he had
00:15:32.96\00:15:37.20
men with him whose job it was to
make a variety of environmental
00:15:37.23\00:15:42.07
observations. They'd take
some 2000 photographs. They also
00:15:42.10\00:15:47.64
gathered a variety of stones
weighing the sleds down. Those
00:15:47.68\00:15:52.48
sleds were also loaded with
scientific equipment which meant
00:15:52.51\00:15:56.05
they could carry less food. On
his return journey Scott and his
00:15:56.08\00:16:00.76
men would often barely make
it to the next depot of food
00:16:00.79\00:16:04.89
supplies before running out.
Scott had planned to put his
00:16:04.93\00:16:09.50
furtherest food depot at the
80th parallel. That way there
00:16:09.53\00:16:13.97
would be supplies in reach
of the exhausted team returning
00:16:14.00\00:16:18.51
from the South Pole. But on
their preparation journey that
00:16:18.54\00:16:21.58
Scott used to set up the depots
the men were tired and the
00:16:21.61\00:16:25.55
ponies were floundering. So
Scott decided to drop supplies
00:16:25.58\00:16:31.59
50 km shy of his target. That
proved fatal. He and his men
00:16:31.62\00:16:38.43
would lay down and die just 15
km short of that essential depot
00:16:38.46\00:16:44.07
Amundsen, however, grasped the
need for food all the way there
00:16:44.10\00:16:51.51
and back. He made sure there
were more than enough supplies
00:16:51.54\00:16:56.44
in his depots. And what's more,
he made sure his team would
00:16:56.48\00:17:00.65
reach them, even through thick
fog or blizzards. He placed a
00:17:00.68\00:17:05.29
line of 10 black flags spaced a
half mile apart on both sides of
00:17:05.32\00:17:10.49
each depot. That way they could
go from one marker to the other
00:17:10.53\00:17:15.56
and reach their essential food.
You know what's ironic about
00:17:15.60\00:17:22.37
that South Pole race between the
planner and the dasher. Amundsen
00:17:22.40\00:17:26.88
the dasher actually planned
better because he focused on
00:17:26.91\00:17:31.58
what he would need to reach
his one all-important goal. But
00:17:31.61\00:17:36.48
Scott the planner actually
dashed here and there focusing
00:17:36.52\00:17:40.66
on other things as he headed
to the South Pole with tragic
00:17:40.69\00:17:46.19
results. And I believe that's
one of the essential principles
00:17:46.23\00:17:51.33
about our race through life.
It's one of the most important
00:17:51.37\00:17:55.94
factors that determines whether
we'll reach our goal or not.
00:17:55.97\00:18:02.38
It's easy to be distracted as
we journey from day to day. It's
00:18:02.41\00:18:05.71
easy to take detours. It's easy
for pride to keep us looking
00:18:05.75\00:18:09.95
here and there instead on the
road ahead. Are we meeting our
00:18:09.98\00:18:14.99
basic needs. Amundsen made
sure he did. It's such a vital
00:18:15.02\00:18:20.00
component of any race,
especially our race through life
00:18:20.03\00:18:24.73
What really keeps us going
as human beings is in here. It's
00:18:24.77\00:18:30.41
the state of our hearts and
minds that will secure or deny
00:18:30.44\00:18:34.54
success because our main
obstacles are also in here.
00:18:34.58\00:18:39.95
In order to meet our basic needs
we have to get through basic
00:18:39.98\00:18:44.32
obstacles like guilt, anger and
insecurity. These are like the
00:18:44.35\00:18:49.92
elements that can really
upset life's journey. Guilt for
00:18:49.96\00:18:55.26
example makes you push things
away, things you might actually
00:18:55.30\00:18:59.17
need, like dogs moving fast over
the ice. Anger makes you stomp
00:18:59.20\00:19:04.97
along pounding on that snow.
It sinks you down like walking
00:19:05.01\00:19:09.94
instead of skiing. And
insecurity compels you to add
00:19:09.98\00:19:15.35
too much, carry too much, to
try to cover your inadequacy.
00:19:15.38\00:19:19.85
Scientific equipment over
essential food, if you like.
00:19:19.89\00:19:23.99
Yes, guilt, anger, insecurity,
they are the real obstacles when
00:19:24.03\00:19:32.57
it comes to making progress
in life. So how do we deal with
00:19:32.60\00:19:37.11
them? Well I believe there are
some spiritual qualities that
00:19:37.14\00:19:40.84
counter those common problems.
I believe God has actually shown
00:19:40.88\00:19:45.85
us how to meet our essential
needs. Do you know what's the
00:19:45.88\00:19:50.82
exact opposite of guilt,
anger and insecurity? Well, it's
00:19:50.85\00:19:55.86
forgiveness, grace and love. Let
me explain by pointing you to
00:19:55.89\00:20:01.83
the Bible, humanity's clearest
map of the human heart. In it
00:20:01.86\00:20:07.74
the apostle John acknowledges
troubles of the human heart and
00:20:07.77\00:20:12.54
writes down what God can
do about guilt, all our guilt.
00:20:12.57\00:20:16.58
Listen:
00:20:16.61\00:20:17.95
Opening up to God, laying
out our problems, our mistakes,
00:20:31.93\00:20:36.00
that's how we get access to that
Divine forgiveness that wipes
00:20:36.03\00:20:41.10
out our guilt. Jesus Christ
paid the price for all of our
00:20:41.14\00:20:45.21
faults and failures on the cross
so we don't have to carry any
00:20:45.24\00:20:49.34
of them anymore. And it's
the sense of forgiveness that
00:20:49.38\00:20:55.62
enables us to look forward on
life's journey. Guilt keeps us
00:20:55.65\00:20:58.95
looking back to some mistake
in the past. It keeps us pushing
00:20:58.99\00:21:02.92
things away, things that we
really need like forgiveness.
00:21:02.96\00:21:08.46
Yes it gives us a clear positive
focus for the way ahead. And
00:21:08.50\00:21:14.84
here's the second quality that
will help. The opposite of anger
00:21:14.87\00:21:19.07
is grace. Here's how the
apostle Peter expresses it:
00:21:19.11\00:21:23.21
Anger takes us down but God's
grace builds us up. God's grace
00:21:40.63\00:21:46.90
restores, produces a gracious
way of life. It washes away all
00:21:46.94\00:21:52.17
the bitterness that keeps
us angry. We don't have to keep
00:21:52.21\00:21:56.71
stomping around. We can
move forward smoothly like we're
00:21:56.75\00:22:03.28
skiing on ice. And the third
quality. What deals with our
00:22:03.32\00:22:08.62
insecurity? Well the opposite
of insecurity is love. All those
00:22:08.66\00:22:14.63
obstacles that insecurity puts
up, they're all there because
00:22:14.66\00:22:19.43
love hasn't built us up.
Here's the apostle John again
00:22:19.47\00:22:25.07
describing the best kind of
love for building strong lives:
00:22:25.11\00:22:29.94
God the Father cherishes us
as his beloved children. When we
00:22:41.09\00:22:45.89
trust our lives to him we are
completely accepted into God's
00:22:45.93\00:22:50.20
family. We are regarded as
valuable as his own Son, that
00:22:50.23\00:22:56.10
heroic Jesus who lived a perfect
life so we could be saved. It's
00:22:56.14\00:23:02.61
this Divine love that can really
counter insecurity. When we
00:23:02.64\00:23:07.88
genuinely loved we don't have to
pretend. We don't have to hide
00:23:07.92\00:23:12.82
our real needs can be met. We
can lay out our supply depots.
00:23:12.85\00:23:19.69
We can get all of the emotional
and spiritual nourishment we
00:23:19.73\00:23:24.90
need. Yes, I believe that's what
God can give us, forgiveness,
00:23:24.93\00:23:30.61
grace and love that moves us,
forward, that propels us through
00:23:30.64\00:23:36.34
life in the best
possible way which is why
00:23:36.38\00:23:40.08
the Bible encourages us:
00:23:40.12\00:24:01.10
Do you want to escape from pain
and shame, to find refuge in
00:24:02.54\00:24:07.01
some heavenly place. Then start
the race marked out for us.
00:24:07.04\00:24:12.48
Start building a strong life on
the only sure foundation, Jesus
00:24:12.51\00:24:17.15
Christ. He'll keep you moving
forward. He'll enable you to
00:24:17.19\00:24:21.69
experience that forgiveness,
that grace, that love. He will
00:24:21.72\00:24:26.63
take you all the way to our
ultimate destination, the right
00:24:26.66\00:24:30.43
hand of the throne of God. Why
not make that decision right now
00:24:30.47\00:24:35.70
as we pray?
00:24:35.74\00:24:40.78
Dear Father, we do face a lot
of obstacles in our lives. We'd
00:24:40.81\00:24:45.25
like to move forward. We'd like
to build strong lives, to run a
00:24:45.28\00:24:49.95
good race, but guilt and anger
and insecurity get in our way.
00:24:49.98\00:24:54.62
So we choose to place our faith
in this Jesus Christ who laid
00:24:54.66\00:24:59.79
down such a good life for us. We
choose to keep our eyes on him
00:24:59.83\00:25:04.40
as a Redeemer and as our shining
example. In Jesus' name, Amen.
00:25:04.43\00:25:11.67

00:25:22.82\00:25:27.22
of life. In this race, we all
face obstacles and challenges.

eyes. There shall be no more
death nor sorrow nor crying.
00:27:49.86\00:27:53.60
There shall be no more pain for
the former things have passed
00:27:53.64\00:27:58.24
away.
