Presuming you are referring to a gaff-rigged main sail, that diagonal pole would be the boom.
The vertical pole is called a "Mast". The horizontal poles (on 3-masted ships for instance) are called "Arms" or "Yardarms".

Amundsen set sail in the Fram for the North Pole in 1910, and while at sea, altered his destination to the South Pole.
