Exploring Extremes



Roald Amundsen was the first person to reach the south pole in 1911. Robert Peary was the first man to reach the north pole in 1909, although we all know it was Santa! George Mallory and Andrew Irvine went to the summit of Mt. Everest. George Mallory documented the trip his second time going up Mt. Everest. People would want to have their name remembered so they do extraordinary things. Some went to the highest points on earth, some went to the most northern or most southern parts of the world. As for me, I would stay back home live a peaceful life and not take any big risks unlike these adventurers that risk their lives when off exploring. If the explorer survives the life and death ordeal then the adventure was worth it.
