Amundsen was the first to leave on 8 September, 1911. He had teams of dogs pulling the sledges and all his men were on skis. Because of this, he made rapid progress. Scott left on 1 November and soon had problems. First, his two sledges broke down and then the horses began to have serious difficulties with the snow and the cold. After a while, Scott and his men had to push the sledges themselves.
1911年9月8日,阿蒙森第一个动身。他用几队狗拉雪橇(sledge),所有的队员都在滑雪板(ski)上行进。因此,他进展很快。11月1日,斯科特动身,但很快就出现了问题。先是他的两辆雪橇坏了(break down),后来马匹开始在大雪和严寒的天气下出现严重问题。过了一阵子,斯科特和他的队员不得不自己推雪橇。
