Broadcast: Oct. 20-Nov. 24, 1985. A six-part drama based on the epic Scott-Amundsen race to the South Pole in 1912. Captain Robert Scott reached the South Pole with a small band of weary men after one of the most harrowing polar expeditions in history -- only to discover that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had reached the Pole a month earlier. Series tells the story of that race from their political maneuverings in London and Norway to gather men and money for their expeditions, to the drama of their actual journeys. See Dial magazine/program guide, October 1985, for story.
