Geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor And Meteorologist Charles Wright Beside An Iceberg
People watched in awe as explorers took on the Arctic. People competed to be the first person to reach the South Pole. In 1911, a British explorer called Robert Falcon Scott started the Terra Nova Expedition. In almost a year, the party had gone on many difficult pole hunts. They finally arrived on January 16, 1912. The saddest part of the story was that there was already a flag. Roald Amundsen beat them by a month.
Charlie Chaplin When He Was 27 Years Old
Do you even know what Charlie Chaplin looked like before his film career? That was not like the unlucky man in the bowler hat! He was born into poverty as the child of a failing actress. He also made a move across the world from London to the US! He didn’t have much time before he became famous in the UK. He based the Tramp on memories of his dad. He said: “It came from a deep part of my father, this character, this little boy who wouldn’t grow up: ragged, cold, hungry but still thumbing his nose at the world.”
