These commemorative geocoins are limited to a production run of 75 units per colour. We have some in Black Nickel and Silver Nickel finishes, and it's unlikely we'll be getting any more.

Each coin measures 44mm across and is approx 3mm think. It is, of course trackable with it's own page on Geocaching.com

The Southpole expedition was an Antarctic competition between the Britain Robert Scott and the Norwegian Roald Amundsen. 

Both tried to be the first recorded human reaching the geographic South Pole. On 9th August 1910 Amundsen started his expedition with his ship "Fram". 

The official destination was the North Pole. However Amundsen was informed that two Americans (Cook and Peary) made it to the North Pole yet. 

This was the reason why his plans have changed.When he stopped in Madeira (the last stop before reaching the Pole) he informed his crew about their new destination. the South Pole. In January 1911 he reached the Antarctic where they build their base camp until Amundsen started his expedition to the geographic South Pole on 19th November 1911 together with a team of 4 men, 4 sledges and 50 dogs.

Amundsen finally reached his destination on 14th December 1911 and left the Norwegian flag at this place. He made the FTF ;-).In the same time (but 1 month later than Amundsen) the Britain Robert Scott also started his expedition to the South Pole. He was very disappointed to realize that Amundsen came first, when he achieved his aim 35 days later than Amundsen. Unfortunately Scott and his crew died on their expedition.
