It was said that Amundsen's team was so well prepared and had enough food that most of the team gained weight by the time they reached back to their ships.

Another reason why Amundsen was so successful is that he marched exactly the same amount of kilometres every day (27km or so, I am not sure). Depending on the topography, it was quite tiring. On other terrain however, they saved some energy instead of marching until exhaustion.

Fun fact: Amundsen actually borowed Fridtjof Nansen's ship, a famous norwegian explorer and nobel peace prize winner, who had wanted him to go to the North Pole for sciense. But since they were rivals and competitive, Amundsen went straight to the south. Unfortunatly, of all the dogs that went with him, only one returned named "Obersten".

you forgot scurvy. they brought the wrong supplies and most of them succumb to scurvy, that hinders their mobility on the way back

I heard that Amundsen was in the bath back home in Norway when his wife came in and told him that Scott had perished in the Antarctic. Standing up in the bath he said, "He's beaten me!" meaning that because Scott died on his journey he would be the one people talked about instead of Amundsen who reached the South Pole first.

I say what's cooler than being cool? Icecold! ❄️❄️❄️

as a Norwegian, i find it so weird that in every video ive seen about this topic, they allways cover Scott´s journey so much more than the winner Roald Amundsen. in this video aswell they cover Scotts journey and they have 10 seconds at the end where they show Amundsen.

Scott was a military man and ran his significantly larger team like a regiment. Amundsen spent his own money to expand his library and brought it along for the trip, insisting the crew read up

My wife left me

two other things you forgot to mention, Amundsen told scott in person that he intended on eating the dogs, also scotts team messed up by bringing a slay made of wood that easily sticks to ice and snow when cold

"You could use these words to describe every Norwegian". As a expat living in Norway for many years I fully agree. The word "social" has very different meaning in here.

2:00 the pee-sicle joke was genius

just add salt upon injuries... Scott's team could had fared better with full usage of skii's. from Wikipedia: "Scott took the Norwegian pilot and skier Tryggve Gran to the Antarctic on the recommendation of Nansen to train his expedition to ski, but although a few of his party began to learn, he made no arrangements for compulsory training for the full party. Gran (possibly because he was Norwegian) was not included in the South Pole party, which could have made a difference. Gran was, one year later, the first to locate the deceased Scott and his remaining companions in their tent just some 18 km (11 miles) short of One Ton depot, that might have saved their lives had they reached it. Scott would subsequently complain in his diary, while well into his journey and therefore too late to take any corrective action and after over 10 years since the Discovery expedition, that "Skis are the thing, and here are my tiresome fellow countrymen too prejudiced to have prepared themselves for the event"" And people wounder why Norwegians, and scandinavia, love our skii's so much that we take home most of the medals during winter olympics?

Okay, Jesus, Scott’s last words were actually chilling. Didn’t expect this from a Mitsi video

It's my birthday

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.. Word

Yay new mitsi video, great stuff to watch while your on the toilet

I can't wait for this video mitsi studios with another great work, make them reach a million subs!

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” I had no idea some random video would compliment my intelligence today 😌 Nice to know I have something in common with the Ninja turtles.

This is not about the race to the south pole, this is about Scott's failed expedition

So the West and East poles are still up for grabs?

This reminded me of a story my friend told me, he was so cold one night he started drinking alcohol to feel warm and the only think he can remember is waking up on the floor covered in sweat and with pissed stain pants.

Feeling Cool on a hot Summer day thanks to the latest animation of Mitsi Studio! One thing is for sure; Mitsi is never going South! Thanks! 🌞☃️

When Amunsum was told of Scott’s death he cried out “He’s beaten me!” Because now Scott is known as Scott of the Antarctic while Ammunsun is just a name you see on Wikipedia.

2:34 Dear god....its a Dachshazi 💀

the quality of the animation never disappoints me.

Curieus what the flat earthers will think of this video.... 😂

Nice, btw congratulation for the 820k almost 1M keep going🎉🎉

1:10 As a Norwegian, i can verify this statement.

01:03 As a Norwegian i can for a fact approve this message.

This was terrific - well done once again! Proud Patreon supporter here!

Your style is always so pleasing to the eye

as a norwegian, i can confirm the joke at 1:11 to be 100% factual and not up for debate

I love the way you guys animate, it’s so hilarious and I like the way you guys educate us all. Watching your videos is the best way in my opinion to learn about history. I love to see more things about ships like the industrial revolution steam ships maybe about the Soviet and Germans fighting more but in my opinion channel doesn’t enough already five stars.

Oh yes, 1912, when the sense of comradery and mutual respect was soooo much stronger than our decadent times. Hope it kept that way for two more years.

You know it’s a good day when you get a notification for a Mitsi Studio premiere

amundsen wasnt antisocial quite the opposite, he picked his crew so that everyone would get along 🫶

This channel has the most unique history,story telling methods i m not even talking about animations

You guys need to drop more frequently!

You released this as I went on holiday I’ve never been so late to one of your videos before!

1:50 it wasnt extreme cold because they did the expedition, like any sane people, during the Antarctic summer. The temperatures would've been around -5 C to -25 C (23 F to -13 F). The winds are also much milder during the summer months there.

It's interesting how when it comes to the race to the South Pole, Scott's expedition is always the main plot and Amundsen's is the little mentioned B-plot

What killed the Scott? The Ice age!

You know its Dutch when a map says "Cancer cold"

These were the last great explorers of the unknown, who endured conditions very few of todays people could handle. No maps, no satellites or phones, not even a radio to call for help when needed. Stuck in a little canvas tent with 100 mph winds and whiteouts for weeks on end, fingers and toes dropping off because of frostbite, and all for the greater good of the British empire, glad their not around today to see what all that hardship means to the British people of today.

This is a nice late birthday gift

he sounds like the evil version of Kurzgesagt

Geweldig video zoals altijd! heb een vraagje alleen hoeveel Nederlands mensen zitten in jullie hele team van animatie tot script schrijvers?

Great

The Fact That RU-vid Didnt Even Take This Down After What Was Showed At 2:34 Is Crazy

Only 369 viewers in 2 minutes? Bro didnt fall off

You guys are my favorite youtube channel!

For your further enrichment: there is bad ass post rock song called "a gallant gentleman" dedicated to Oates sacrifice. I highly recommend you give it a listen

The king has returned Edit:why are you guys fighting in the replies?

You guys sure have an excellent sense of humor. Love the Video, I hope you get 1 million subs soon.

0:02 its so small!!

The narrator sounds a whole lot more excited. Bet he got a loving keeass from someone before the recording.

Ill do 1 push up every time this comment gets 1 like

man, thats one CHILLING story you got there

“Let’s pick the black guy’s plight because he’s black” Sounds about right in 2024

楽しみに待ってました！

@0:25 what a weird and demeaning thing to say. No name or details about the black guy. Just mentioned him like he was a pet or something.

Very sad for Scott, cold chills ran down my spine several times😢

There was just Nor way Scott would beat Amundsen to the Pole. Proud Norwegian son, I salute you!

2:23 they're getting more and more unhinged with these animations💀💀💀

"Ooohhh new video can't wait to see itttt" but then i wait an eternity to see it in the perfect moment

I was gonna hope that he’d mention all the fossilized Glossopteris leaves that Scott’s expedition found and kept with them in their tents before the last 3 of them died.

Knowing you guys are Dutch reading the cancer cold made me laugh even harder

Wow! Anytime I come this early, it’s with my hand!

nothing in the past week has made me happier than waking up to a mitsi studio upload.

And that's why you always do your research and prepare properly

I used to be subscribed to your channel, and I just saw this in my recommended and found out I wasn't anymore! I never unsubscribed though. I don't know what happened

I love supporting Mitsi studio (I am not in the basement no need to check)

You need to make more of the how your country fights wars

You guys should make a video talking about the different wonders of the world, that would be so cool

Best channel ever #1 Mitsi studio glazer here

Robert Falcon Scott casually wearing an iron cross.

This channel never fails to make me laugh!😂😂

There's another story earlier in this saga that also Involved Cook, a Belgian voyage that wanted to christen their new country by being the first to discover the south pole. Unfortunately, their ship was trapped there in the ice for over a year without making it a fraction of the way there. Months went by where they didn't see the sun, but it was a good opportunity to conduct lasting research. Especially on nutrition (the canned food and bottled lime juice were insufficient to nourish the men and stave off scurvy) and light therapy. Where cook told sickly men to stabd naked in front of the ship's furnace so their bodies could absorb much needed light. Not just warmth

Mitsi's the best person to make a sponsor

I love how mitsi characters don't walk, they just go *shimmy shimmy*

I LOVE how you animated that dogs

We have two types of Mitsi Studo comments: "It is my birthday!" And "My wife left me"

I can't believe that I watch the first ever non gory Mitsi video! What a moment to be alive, not like the british dude

Ive learned more from this channel then i have in History class. Ans i pay attention in class, my teacher just sucks at teaching.

Great video as usual!

I showed this to my Emperor penguin and he turned into Ernest Shackleton

HELL YEA! MORE GOOD ANIMATIONS, AND GOOD HUMOR.

Finnaly a new video I've been waiting for this and his swears 😂

This was an excellent video. Shame we have to wait awhile for the next.

I have been watching your channel since how countries fight there wars but this is my first account I can comment on

I had to write a 5 paragraph argumentative essay on why one of the explorers is better than another for a state test 😭😭😭

I swear this is my favorite channel 😂

Oh a Frostpunk video

Mf from Arizona when it’s 40 degrees 1:52

Nothing's cooler🥶Than Mitsi studio videos

Roald did learn to survive the cold by learning from the Inuit people. That's how he managed to avoid hypothermia

Nice to see a new video

We celebrate Captain Oates every year in my old regiment the Royal Dragoon Guards for his sacrifice.
