The "Belgica" was icebound in the Bellinghausen Sea for over a year, becoming a virtual laboratory of human endurance for its 19-member multinational crew. The cereers of both of the future discoverers of the Poles--Roald Amundson (South Pole 1911) and Frederick A. Cook (North Pole 1908)were joined in this expedition.
