Antarctica, the coldest region in the world with temperatures reaching minus 90 degrees, became the stage for a dramatic race 100 years ago between the Englishman Robert Scott and his Norwegian rival Roald Amundsen. Maja Nielsen has followed in the icy footsteps of both polar explorers. She thrillingly recounts the high-stakes competition that ultimately became a matter of life and death. The well-known adventurer Arved Fuchs shares from his own experience that an expedition to Antarctica is still a true challenge today: he has reached both the North and South Poles on foot - the South Pole alongside Reinhold Messner. Spectacular photos from his archive and historical footage bring the expeditions to the South Pole to life. Expert contribution: Arved Fuchs.
