Plucky Brit Robert Falcon Scott was forced to concede defeat to that Norwegian swine Amundsen in the race to the South Pole, reports ROYGBIV.
Despite the cold and the bad weather, Scott fought on despite not wearing a tie and despite Captain Oates going out for a walk and freezing to death so his mates would have some scran.
As news of the Norwegian victory emerged, Scott turned back but sadly died on his way back to the boat, also freezing to death.
Amundsen joked with paparazzi that it was bloody freezing cold at the south pole and that he intended to have a nice cup of iced tea with a Penguin biscuit.
