Amundsen

"Great activity reigns on board," Amundsen wrote in his diary. "The last touches are being put to all the work. Clothing bags must be packed ready to go ashore." [1]

While in the pack, seals had been shot and brought aboard to give the dogs fresh meat and feed them up before putting them to work.
