[00:05.14]Chapter 4 Food Depots [00:10.78]The two ships,Terra Nova and fram, [00:15.74]arrived in Antarctica,in January 1911, [00:21.07]at the end of summer． [00:24.54]The Englishmen and the Norwegians wanted to stay on the ice all winter． [00:31.98]They wanted to be ready to go to the South Pole [00:35.81]at the beginning of the next Antarctic summer． [00:41.00]The dogs pulled the Norwegians'sledges． [00:45.49]They ran quickly over the snow [00:47.93]and pulled the big sledges from the ship onto the ice． [00:53.92]The men ran beside them on skis． [00:58.37]They put a big wooden house on the ice． [01:04.03]The house was full of food, [01:06.33]and skis,and sledges． [01:10.49]They called it Framheim． [01:15.00]Outside the house,the dogs lived in holes under the snow． [01:21.72]When the house was ready, [01:25.13]the men made their first journey south． [01:30.60]Before the winter,they wanted to take a lot of food south, [01:36.61]and leave it in depots． [01:41.33]For the long journey to the Pole, [01:44.07]they needed a lot of food, [01:47.42]and they couldn't carry it all with them． [01:52.09]On February 10th,five men, [01:55.83]three sledges,eighteen dogs, [01:59.64]and half a tonne of food left Framheim and went south． [02:07.02]It was easy．The weather was warm for the Antarctic, [02:12.44]between-7°Centigrade and-17°Centigrade． [02:18.95]The snow was good, [02:21.60]and the dogs and skis went fast． [02:25.81]They went fifty or sixty kilometres every day． [02:31.90]After four days they reached 80°South, [02:37.05]and made the first depot． [02:41.37]Amundsen made his depot very carefully． [02:46.90]It was very important to find it again,next summer． [02:52.82]So he put a big black flag on top． [02:57.70]Then he put ten flags to the east of the depot- [03:02.86]each flag half a kilometre from the next- [03:08.12]and ten flags to the west． [03:11.78]So there were flags for five kilometres to the left of the depot, [03:17.73]and five kilometres to the right． [03:23.54]Then they went back to Framheim, [03:26.84]and took some more food south, [03:29.59]this time to 82°South． [03:36.29]This time it was harder． [03:39.58]The temperature was sometimes －40°Centigrade, [03:46.00]and there were strong winds with a lot of snow． [03:51.43]The dogs and men were very tired, [03:55.17]and the tents and boots were bad． [03:58.99]At the second depot, [04:01.97]they put out sixty flags, [04:04.41]to help them find it again． [04:08.16]They came back to Framheim on March 23rd． [04:13.50]It was nearly winter in the Antarctic． [04:16.92]Their ship Fram was far away now, [04:20.22]near South America． [04:23.31]They were alone on the ice． [04:28.04]Oates went with Scott to make the first British depot． [04:33.99]They left Cape Evans on January 25th． [04:39.57]There were thirteen men, [04:42.50]eight ponies,and twenty-six dogs． [04:48.18]The dogs were faster than the ponies- [04:51.66]they ran quickly over the top of the snow, [04:55.71]but the ponies'feet went through it． [04:59.97]Every morning the ponies started first, [05:03.83]and the dogs started two hours later, [05:08.01]because they ran faster． [05:11.44]At night,the dogs made warm holes under the snow, [05:17.06]but the ponies stood on top of the snow． [05:21.32]It was －20°Centigrade． [05:25.94]After fifteen days Oates talked to Scott． [05:31.93]There was a strong wind, [05:34.03]and the two men's faces were white with snow． [05:39.40]'Three of these ponies are ill,Captain,' [05:43.32]Oates said．'They can't go on．' [05:48.43]'Don't be stupid,Oates,'Scott answered． [05:52.99]'They're good strong animals-the best ponies on earth．' [05:59.47]'Not these three,'Oates said． [06:03.85]'They're ill,and unhappy, [06:06.23]and now they can't walk． [06:09.24]Let's kill them,and leave the meat here,in the snow． [06:14.41]We can eat it,or the dogs can．' [06:18.40]'Of course not!'Scott said angrily． [06:22.41]'These ponies are our friends, [06:25.55]they work hard for us． [06:28.09]I don't kill my friends!' [06:33.29]Three days later,two of the ponies were dead． [06:39.12]Scott's men were slower than Amundsen's； [06:43.37]it took them twenty-four days to get to 80°South． [06:49.90]They made a big depot there, [06:52.85]and put one large black flag on top of it． [06:58.07]Then they went back to Cape Evans． [07:02.98]Their camp was on an island in the ice, [07:06.49]and the sea ice moved sometimes． [07:10.93]There were holes in the ice, [07:13.36]and black sea water under it． [07:17.55]One day seven ponies went through the ice into the sea,and died． [07:26.21]One motor sledge also went into the sea．
