Roald Amundsen Roald Amundsen, born in 1872 near Oslo, Norway, left his mark on the Heroic Era as one of the most successful polar explorers ever born. His career of adventure began at the age of 15, originally studying medicine, but dropping out to go to sea where he soon moved his way up to the rank of mate. His first experience in the Antarctic was with Adrien de Gerlache 's 1899 BELGICA EXPEDITION . He became the first to travel the Northwest Passage, in his ship Gjoa in 1903-06. After this expedition, plans were assembled to drift across the North Pole in Nansen's famous FRAM , but news arrived of Peary's successful attainment of the pole which caused Amundsen to make new plans covert plansfor an expedition to the Antarctic and the subsequent capture of the South Pole. On December 14, 1911, Amundsen and four others stood at the South Pole, a month before Robert Scott . This expedition was an incredible masterpiece of organization. Here is the story... "The North Pole is reached!" was the news that flashed all over the world...it was September 1909 when the news reached Amundsen. The original plan of the

His account appeared in English as Amundsen's North West Passage (1908). He then purchased Fridtjof Nansen 's Fram and prepared to drift toward the North Pole and then finish the journey by sledge. The news that Robert E. Peary had anticipated him in reaching the North Pole caused Amundsen to consider going south. He was successful in reaching the South Pole on Dec. 14, 1911, after a dash by dog team and skis from the Bay of Whales (an inlet of Ross Sea). He arrived there just 35 days before Robert F. Scott . This story he told in The South Pole (tr. 1913). In the course of these expeditions, he added much valuable scientific and geological information to the knowledge of Antarctica.

Home History Library Museum ... Site Map Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) Roald Engebreth Gravning Amundsen enjoyed being referred to as the last of the Vikings . He is now considered by some as the greatest polar explorer of all times, having bridged the gap between the eras of traditional and machine based polar exploration by mastering a combination of the best of the so called "primitive" techniques of the Eskimo with a dash of modern technology. He was well aware that when it came to surviving in the polar regions, a few hundred years of European technology could not out-do the Eskimo's ten thousand years of experience. His unique mixture of technical skills, thorough planning and leadership skills are unequaled in exploration history. Amundsen was, however, plagued by an almost complete disregard for monetary issues. He was in heavy personal debt at the eve of departure for almost all of his expeditions, and was constantly mortgaging his house or borrowing money from family and friends. Upon returning from the unkown his writings and lectures always made the deed sound too easy. He expected his achievments to speak for themselves, and so supressed the difficulties he encountered, and his thorough planning and leadership resulted in an all-around lack of suffering that the press and public did not appreciate. They crave drama, desparation and screw ups. Amundsen's screw ups usually resulted in loss of income, rather than some sort of fight for survival. Amundsen was almost too good at what he did!

Amundsen was born in Borge, near Oslo, Norway. He attended the University of Christiania and then joined the Norwegian navy. Amundsen made a three-year expedition to the Arctic beginning in 1903. He was the first to navigate the Northwest Passage, a northern water began in 1910, at the other end of the Earth. He intended to go to the North Pole, but he heard that Robert Peary had already reached it. So instead Amundsen headed to the South Pole in his ship, Fram. He learned that a British expedition, led by Robert F. Scott, was also on its way there.

HierBestellen.nl Roald Amundsen De bekende poolonderzoeker Roald Engelbregt Amundsen (1872-1928) werd geboren in Borge in Noorwegen. Amundsen brak vroegtijdig zijn studie medicijnen af om mee te kunnen gaan met de Belgische zuidpoolexpeditie (1897-1899). Na terugkomst studeerde hij geofysica in Duitsland. Reeds op jeugdige leeftijd nam Amundsen het besluit om als eerste de noordpool te bereiken. Nadat hij in 1909 hoorde, dat Peary hem al voor was geweest, wijzigde hij zijn plannen en richtte zich op de zuidpool. Amundsen en zijn vier begeleiders slaagden er net op tijd in om als eersten de zuidpool te bereiken op 14 december 1911, want R.F. Scott zat hem op de hielen. Op de terugweg ontdekte Amundsen het Koningin Maud gebergte. Na terugkomst schreef de ontdekkingsreiziger een boek over zijn belevenissen. In 1926 vloog Roald Amundsen met Ellsworth en Nobile met het luchtschip "Norge" over de noordpool. Tijdens een reddingsvlucht in 1928 naar de Nobile-expeditie sloeg het noodlof toe. Roald Amundsen keerde niet terug van deze reis. Liefhebbers van dit artikel bestelden: CultuurArchief.nl cd-rom 1

Headline News Weather Wildlife/Penguins Science History Shackleton Stations Treaty Expeditions Roald Amundsen History Main Timeline 'Race to the Pole Norwegian polar explorer, born in Borge, and educated at the University of Christiania (now the University of Oslo). He entered the Norwegian navy in 1894 and spent the following nine years studying science. From 1903 to 1906 he led his first important expedition in the small sloop Gjöa. During this voyage he sailed successfully through the Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean and determined the position of the north magnetic pole. His next expedition (1910-1912) sailed in a larger ship, the Fram, and gained fame as one of the most successful undertakings in the history of Antarctic exploration. With his companions, he lived in Antarctica for more than a year, conducting explorations and scientific investigations. On December 14, 1911, he reached the South Pole, becoming the first person known to have accomplished this feat. He had favorable weather conditions during the voyages, but his success was due primarily to his knowledge of polar conditions, his attention to minute details, and his ability to endure great physical stress.
