The Last place on Earth. Episode two. Minor diversions

When Scott goes to Norway for the trials of his revolutionary motorised sledges, Nansen offers him sound advice on dogs, clothing, food, and above all, skis. Most of it falls on dead ears. When Scott's ship leaves England, it is to cheers from the crowd and riotous acclaim in the British press. Meanwhile, Amundsen, having kept his destination a closely guarded secret, makes a quiet departure from Norway. When he docks at Madeira to take on fresh provisions he at last reveals his true intentions to his men and asks for their support.
