I’m trying to imagine how a couple of hundred guinea pigs would react to the sudden crack of a whip above their heads. My guess would be unpredictably.

Snickers:
An account in one of the books I read told of the British expedition being astonished when they saw Amundsen pull up on his skis with his dog teams, stop on a dime, and then tell his dogs to lie down and be quiet. They simply couldn’t imagine that skis could be used so smoothly or that dogs could be trained to execute as a team and generally get along.
I think you must misremember. The expeditions didn’t have the same starting point, and their paths didn’t cross.
