This particular page is a time line of Antarctic exploration, with links to pages about explorers such as Roald Amundsen and Robert F. Scott.
Although Robert F. Scott did not lead a successful round trip expedition to the South Pole (bummer), he did make Science Discovery's top ten list of doomed expeditions and was celebrated as hero in England.
This PBS bio of Roald Amundsen is part of their Alone on the Ice website. Alone on the Ice is a television movie about Commander Richard E. Byrd's exploration of the Antarctica, but also includes coverage of other famous Arctic and Antarctic explorers.
Paul Ward, a British teacher, worked for two years as a zoologist in Antarctica, fulfilling a dream that started when he was a teenager.
Although this AMNH site is written for teachers, students will find much here to help with homework and research reports. The bulk of the educational content is contained in PDFs that open in small (annoying) pop-up windows, but can be easily printed.
