[00:05.35]Chapter 8 Across the Plateau [00:11.09]On November 21st,the Norwegians killed thirty dogs． [00:16.73]'They were happy,'Amundsen said． [00:19.41]'And now tney're going to die quickly． [00:22.04]We need three sledges, [00:23.95]and eighteen dogs, to go to the Pole．' [00:28.47]When the dogs were dead, [00:30.08]the other dogs ate them． [00:32.20]The men ate them,too． [00:35.44]They were good friends,Bjaaland wrote in his diary． [00:39.46]And now they are good food． [00:42.80]Two days later,the dogs were fat． [00:47.85]Then,in a snowstorm, [00:50.10]they began the journey again． [00:53.34]After the snowstorm,there was fog, [00:56.45]and in the fog, [00:58.02]they got lost on an ice river with hundreds of big holes in it． [01:03.12]They could see nothing,and it was very dangerous． [01:08.64]In four days they moved nine kilometres． [01:13.81]But the ice is beautiful,Bjaaland wrote． [01:18.11]Blue and green and white． [01:21.15]This is a wonderful place - [01:24.20]but I don't want to stay a long time． [01:29.09]After the ice,there were strong winds and bad snowstorms． [01:34.36]They could see nothing in front of them． [01:37.58]But every day,they travelled twenty-five or thirty kilometres． [01:43.32]Then,on December 9th,the sun came out． [01:48.96]They were at 88°23′South- [01:53.75]175 kilometres from the Pole． [01:59.01]Five more long days,Bjaaland wrote． [02:03.19]That's all now．But where is Scott? [02:08.52]For four days,Scott's men stayed in their tents near the mountains． [02:15.83]There is a bad snowstorm outside,Oates wrote． [02:20.52]It's too cold for the ponies, [02:22.85]and our clothes and skis are bad,too． [02:27.52]On December 9th,Oates killed the ponies． [02:31.75]They were tired and ill and they could not walk up to the plateau． [02:37.44]Then Meares and his dogs went back to Cape Evans． [02:41.85]'We can pull the sledges ourselves,' [02:44.14]Scott said．'We can do it-we're all strong men． [02:50.62]There were two sledges and eight men． [02:54.18]They went twenty-four kilometres a day． [02:57.99]On December 31st,Scott said to Teddy Evans, [03:02.30]and the men on the second sledge：'You can't ski well． [03:06.26]Leave your skis here． [03:08.77]'So they pulled their sledge twenty-four kilometres without skis． [03:14.72]Next day,Scott went to Teddy Evans's tent． [03:19.42]'You are ill,Teddy,'he said． [03:22.06]'You can't come to the Pole． [03:24.92]Take two men and go back,tomorrow．' [03:29.38]Teddy Evans was very unhappy． [03:32.62]'Two men,Captain?'he said． [03:35.72]'Why not three?' [03:38.10]'Because Bowers is going to come with me,' [03:41.10]Scott said．'He's strong-we need him．' [03:46.28]'But…you have food on your sledge for four men,not five!' [03:51.25]Evans said．'And Bowers has no skis!' [03:56.53]'I'm the Captain,Teddy!'Scott said． [04:00.04]'You do what I say． [04:02.46]Take two men and leave Bowers with me!' [04:07.08]Oates wrote to his mother： [04:10.14]I am going to the Pole with Scott． [04:12.77]I am pleased and I fell strong． [04:16.12]But in his diary he wrote； [04:19.55]My feet are very bad． [04:22.54]They are always wet now, [04:25.40]and they don't look good． [04:29.39]On January 4th Scott's men left Teddy Evans and went on． [04:35.02]Scott,Oates,Wilson and Edgar Evans had skis, [04:40.78]but Bowers did not． [04:43.30]They were 270 kilometres from the Pole． [04:50.15]December 14th 1911 was a warm,sunny day． [04:55.70]Five Norwegians skied over the beautiful white snow． [05:00.53]It was very quiet． [05:02.62]No one spoke． [05:04.78]They were excited,and happy． [05:08.37]'Six more kilometres,'Bjaaland thought． [05:12.57]Is there a British flag? [05:14.91]I can't see a flag,but… [05:17.95]'Look!'Hassel said． [05:20.53]'What's that over there?' [05:22.97]Bjaaland left his sledge and skied quickly away over the snow． [05:27.70]'What is it?'he thought． [05:30.00]'Is it…?No!' [05:33.00]'It's nothing!'he called． [05:35.89]'There's nothing there… nothing!' [05:40.56]Three kilometres,two．'Roald!'Hanssen called to Amundsen． [05:47.61]'Go in front of me,please．It helps my dogs．' [05:52.63]'That's not true,'Bjaaland thought．' [05:55.81]His dogs are running well today． [05:58.50]But Hanssen wants Amundsen to be first． [06:01.90]The first man at the South Pole!' [06:06.41]They skied on and on,over the beautiful snow． [06:11.12]'Stop!'Amundsen said． [06:15.64]He waited quietly for his men． [06:19.16]'This is it,'he said． [06:23.93]Bjaaland looked at him． [06:26.37]'But there's nothing here,'he said． [06:29.56]Amundsen smiled．'Oh yes there is,'he said． [06:35.43]'There's something very important here,Olav． [06:39.85]Very,very important．' [06:43.69]'What's that,Roald?' [06:45.77]'Us．We're here now．Isn't that important,Olav?' [06:53.21]The four men stood on the snow, [06:56.05]and looked at him． [06:58.54]Then,slowly,they all began to laugh．
