Sealing Expedition Depots Established in Antarctic Trek
Roald Amundsen reports progress from February 1911 toward the south pole. They establish three depots carrying about 8,000 kilos of provisions, including 1,600 kilos of seal meat cached at varying temperatures. They mark depots with flags, drive dogs efficiently, and prepare dog houses and a snow hut as winter nears.
