    Exactly 100 years ago, two teams raced for the honor of being the first humans to stand at the South Pole. What motivated this race for glory? Ross D. E. MacPhee, author of Race to The End: Amundsen, Scott, and the Attainment of the South Pole and curator of mammals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, presents the story of the conquest of the last great geographical prize on Earth and its modern relevance for science and discovery in Antarctica. The author will sign copies of his book
