Abstract

The type of transport employed was critical to the success of South Pole expeditions. Three very different men each pioneered routes into the Antarctic continent using fornts of transport that say as much about the men as about their commitment to their goal. This paper Outlines each Of the forms of transport used by each of these expeditions, and the implications the South Pole parties had to deal with resulting from their choices.
