The South Pole was reached 100 years ago.
I sometimes wonder if I’d be an historian since I geek a lot with this kind of events. Antartica is a special place on that level for me since I’d love to sail there on my own one day (geeking out while watching some swedes doing it meanwhile 
).
Anyway, everyone in love with history and exploration is celebrating today. The Portuguese started a great era of discoveries where European boundaries weren’t enough anymore: this was one of the last greatest discoveries of those times, IMHO.
Human dreams + Resilience + limits waiting to be overcome = awesome achievements
