Forestalled. Amundsen's tent at the Pole

'(Thurs 18 Jan., 1912) during the forenoon we passed the Norwegians' last southerly camp. They called it Polheim and left here a small tent with Norwegian and Fram flags flying and a considerable amount of gear in the tent... There were also letters there. One from Amundsen to King Haakon with a request that Scott should send it to him... I made some sketches here but it was blowing very cold -22. Birdie took some photos...The Norskies had got to the Pole on December 16 and were here from 15th to 17th.'
