February 7, 2007  South Pole Flyby (NASA Feature) Less than one hundred years ago, the south pole of Earth was a land of utter mystery. Explorers labored mightily to get there, fighting scurvy, wind, disorientation and a fantastic almost-martian cold. Until Roald Amundsen and Robert F. Scott reached the Pole in 1911 and 1912, it was terra incognita. The
situation is much the same today—on the sun. See Also: NASA-European Spacecraft Swoops Under Sun's Pole (NASA News: Exploring the Universe) Image
