There's a thread discussing Amundsen's observations at the South Pole starting here http://fer3.com/arc/m2.aspx/Amundsen-South-Pole-PeterHakel-dec-2011-g17595 .
Paul Werner's post http://fer3.com/arc/m2.aspx/Amundsen-South-Pole-Werner-dec-2011-g17611 has a link to http://www.southpolestation.com/trivia/igy1/polesurvey1.html which shows the sextant and artificial horizon being used.
Happy New Year!
