Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott both led teams that explored the South Pole at the same time in 1911.

What did Roald Amundsen do that was unfair?
In the 'Race to the Pole' Amundsen used skis and huskies to pull his supply sled. His rival Capt. Scott man-hauled their sled and marched to the pole. Unfair? Well, Scott certainly thought him unsporting in the 'competition' to reach the pole first but there weren't any rules laid out, as such. More likely Scott was jealous of Amundsen's superior skill and methods.

Why did win the race?
1. Amundsen's team had dogs pull their sledges, while Scott's team relied on ponies to pull their sledges. And the dogs withstood the hard work and cold well. 2. The route Amundsen had chosen was shorter than Scott's and covered flat terrain.
