Some food was powder milk, fresh frozen seal meat, buck, wheat germ, butter, cream, cakes, tinned meats, tinned California fruits, tracts, pudding, pies, pastries, seal steak, bread, whortleberry jam, cheese, coffee, and staple beverage.
Amundsen's team was five, and included fifty-two dogs when they set out on 19 October 1911 to be the first to set foot at the South Pole.

During the Gjoa Expedition of the Northwest Passage, 1903-06, Amundsen mastered using animal skins for clothing, which repelled water better than cloth clothing, and he learned about sled dogs and their usefulness pulling sledges. Otherwise, Amundsen learned some of his polar survival and living skills from Fridjof Nansen, who indeed spent much time learning skills from the 'natives'. Inuit natives claimed European ancestry from the Goya crew (of seven), but no DNA evidence ever confirmed that Amundsen took a partner there. He often advised against it and wrote warnings to his crew not to take Inuit partners.
No, he was never married.
Roald Amundsen died in 1928.

Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott both led teams that explored the South Pole at the same time in 1911. Amundsen was aware of Scott's objective, but Scott was not aware that Amundsen was right behind him. Roald Amundsen's team got there first on 14th of December, 1911. Amundsen reported that he saw no sign of Scott. Scott's team reached the South Pole on 17th of January, 1912, acknowledging in his diary that Amundsen's team had arrived there a month earlier. The last members of the Scott expedition were found dead by a relief party in October 2012.
Robert Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen took different routes to reach the South Pole. Scott's team approached from the Ross Ice Shelf up the Beardmore Glacier, while Amundsen's team approached from the Bay of Whales on the Ross Ice Shelf. Amundsen's route was ultimately more successful, as he reached the South Pole first in December 1911.
Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen was the first person to reach the South Pole on December 14, 1911. He led a team of five men and dogs on the expedition, beating British explorer Robert Falcon Scott's group by about a month.

Amundsen completed an expedition in 1906, and planned next to 'conquer' the North Pole. In 1909, he learned that the North Pole had already been 'conquered' by Cook and Peary. Amundsen decided to head for the South Pole, and learned Englishman Captain Scott was planning a similar expedition. Amundsen left for the South Pole on 1910 June 3. From these details you could surmise that it took him about four years to complete his plans for his trip to Antarctica.
1911-1912
Sir Robert Falcon Scott and his team arrived at the South Pole on January 17, 1912, after a 2-month journey from their base camp on the coast of Antarctica. Tragically, they discovered that they had been beaten to the Pole by Roald Amundsen's Norwegian expedition.
