Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The voyage of the Belgica, 1897-1899, was an exceptionally challenging yet ultimately rewarding scientific expedition. New lands and oceans were charted, and in-depth data was collected on the continent’s biodiversity. It was also the first expedition to successfully over-winter in the Antarctic. This very nearly led to its downfall. Amongst the crew were two notable explorers. Roald Amundsen later became the first man to reach the "South Pole". Frederick A. Cook would later contentiously claim to be the first man to reach the North Pole. |
