What did roald amundsen use as transport to get to antarctica?
He used 3 sledges and 52 snowdogs
Why did Roald Amundsen's party beat Scott and his men?
Largely because Scott was relying on an unproved strategy involving the use of not only dogs (as Amundsen did) but also horses and motor sledges for transportation. As it turns out, neither the horses nor the motor sledges performed nearly as well as Scott had hoped. It's also worth noting that Amundsen's party set forth nearly two weeks before Scott's did (October 19 vs. November 1), though this was not the only cause, since Amundsen beat Scott to the pole by the considerably wider margin of five weeks (December 14 vs. January 17).
What did Roald Amundsen use to get to the South Pole?
Ronald Amundsen used 3 sledges and 52 dogs to get to the South Pole.

What equipment did Scott and Roald use?

Where did roald amundsen reach fist?
Roald Amundsen first reached the South Pole. The reason this is not well-known is because he did not want anyone to call him back. His traveling companions couldn't even send letters because he was afraid that it would betray where they were and someone would tell him to retreat.

Why did amundsen win the race?
He got to the South Pole first because he had a huge head start (about two weeks) he had also planned the location of his base camp so it was suitable for his team. The team had assembled a small wooden hut (called Fram) so they would be comfortable in the base camp during the really cold winters. Amundsen also planned his journey months before he actually started. He laid three depots before the journey started, to reduce the amount of supplies he and his team would have to carry. He used dogs to pull the sleds, they skied and took a shorter route than did the Englishman, Captain Scott. Amundsen also made sure he took the most direct route no matter what they had to face.
Did Amundsen use any technology?
Yes, he used the technology of the day. It included canvas and wind cloth for shelter, wool and furs for clothing, deerskin for sleeping bags, sennegrass for insulating boots, skis and poles, lightweight sledges, and dogs. Sextant and theodolites were used for navigation.
How did Roald Amundsen beat Robert Falcon Scott?
There are many elements to this debate, but a few stand out. Amundsen's base camp was closer to the South Pole than was Scott's; Amundsen's team members were all experienced skiers; they were willing to use dogs to pull supply and equipment-laden sleds, and consume the dogs as part of their diet enroute. All this meant that Amundsen saw advantages in his planning and execution and took advantage of them to best Scott's efforts to achieve the South Pole by 33 days.
What transport do they use in Norway?
The people in the north use reindeer sledges. The people in the eastern and southern cities use dog sledges. Anyway, the coolest people(mostly living in the west) use polarbears. This is becomming a problem when some people can't train their polarbears and they become dangerous to other people.
Why do you use sledges in Antarctica?
Sledges offer the most logical means of transporting equipment and supplies on the ice. They move easily on their runners, can carry loads that exceed their own weight and can be pulled by Ski-Doos to remote locations.
What did they use to create pyramids?
