THE RETURN OF THE SOUTH POLE SLED DOGS - MARY R...

This book documents the return of the surviving sled dogs of the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition
of 1910-1912 from Antarctica  where they had helped Roald Amundsen become the first human to
reach the South Pole. This book is the sequel to the highly acclaimed Roald Amundsen's Sled
Dogs: The Sledge Dogs Who Helped Discover the South Pole. It chronicles how the sled dogs were
used internationally to further promote the expedition's great achievement and follows some of
the dogs as they undertake subsequent expeditions - with Douglas Mawson's Australasian
Antarctic Expedition of 1911-1914  which made scientific discoveries  and with Arve Staxrud's
Norwegian Arctic Rescue Mission of 1913  which saved members of the Herbert Schröder-Stranz
German Arctic Expedition. The book tracks the remaining 39 sled dogs to their next challenging
adventures and their final destinations in Argentina  Norway  Antarctica  and Australia. Like
its predecessor  the book portrays how Amundsen continued to utilize the Polar dogs - both in
their lives and in their deaths - to propel his career and solidify his expedition's image.
