Current Expeditions History Other Attempts at the Pole (1897-1900) To avoid the obstacle of the ice pack, a Swedish engineer named Salomon Andrée attempted to use an unpowered helium-filled silk balloon to reach the Pole from Spitsbergen in 1896 and 1897. Unfavorable winds cancelled the attempt in 1896, but the following year Andrée, along with Nils Strindberg and Knut Frankel, managed to take off. Three days later, fog and icing caused the balloon to founder about 350 miles from Danes Island. The three men managed to reach White Island, but it was not until over thirty years later that their remains were discovered. An Italian nobleman, Luigi Amedeo di Savoia, Duke of the Abruzzi, led another attempt from the northeasternmost extremity of Franz Josef Land, Rudolf Island in 1899. Luigi's fingers were so badly frostbitten during winter that he was unable to make a run at the Pole the following spring. Instead, Umberto Cagni took a sledge party 20 miles further north than Nansen's record, but three men perished on the return.

Image courtesy: NOAA Photo Library History The Maud Expedition (1918-1925) Having conquered the Northwest Passage and the South Pole, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen set his sights on the North Pole. He chose to adopt Fridtjof Nansen's idea of freezing a ship into the ice and floating to the Pole. However, the Fram was no longer seaworthy, so a new wooden vessel, the Maud , was constructed with an egg-shaped bottom to lift under ice pressure and avoid being crushed, similar to the Fram. Despite the start of World War I, the Maud departed Christiania (Oslo), Norway in July 1918, and set off through the Northeast Passage, along the coast of Siberia, with the intention of being frozen into the pack ice north of the Bering Strait. However, the pack ice formed much earlier that year, and by September the

[RETURN TO UAA ARCHIVES HOME PAGE] [COLLECTION LIST] ROALD AMUNDSEN, 1872-1928. Papers, 1905-1926. 1 reel, microfilm. Guide. Roald Amundsen was born in Borge, Norway in 1872. He began an education in medicine, but left to go to sea. Amundsen became identified with Polar explorations. In 1897, he served on the Belgica on the Belgian Antarctic Expedition. Between 1903 and 1906 he traversed the Northwest Passage on the Gjoa . In December, 1911, he reached the South Pole a month before R. F. Scott. He traversed the Northeast Passage in the Maud between 1918 and 1920. Later he flew from Spitzbergen with L. Ellsworth in an attempt to reach the North Pole. The effort failed when they were forced to land on pack ice. He flew over the North Pole in the air ship Norge with Umberto Nobile in 1926. Two years later he died while participating in a search for Nobile after the wreck of the airship Italia This collection consists of a reel of microfilm containing copies of documents, correspondence, articles and photographs from Alaskan and other libraries concerning Amundsen's activities in Alaska. The papers primarily concern the period between 1903 and 1906, and the period from 1918 to 1928. Most of the correspondence is between Amundsen and Carl Loman, a resident of Nome. There are several of Carl Loman's diaries, as well as photographs of Amundsen, Loman and his family, Nobile, and of various vessels and airships. Approximately half the collection is composed of printed materials such as newspaper clippings and articles. These materials were compiled by the Alaska Historical Library, Juneau, Alaska. A finding aid was compiled by Stephen Jackson.

Roald Amundsen Josiane Ferraro Maurice Ferraro Florence Ferraro Alain Ferraro Andrée Renard Monique Blaise Bernadette Steinmetz Charles Steinmetz AMUNDSEN ROALD (1872-1928) Explorateur norvégien. Fils d’un petit armateur, Roald Amundsen se destine d’abord à la médecine avant d’être saisi d’une vocation irrésistible pour l’exploration polaire. En 1893, il s’engage comme simple matelot sur un phoquier et, de 1897 à 1899, il participe à l’expédition antarctique d’Adrien de Gerlache en qualité de second du Belgica . Sa carrière d’explorateur s’ordonne autour de trois grandes réalisations: le forcement du passage du Nord-Ouest, la conquête du pôle Sud et la première liaison aérienne Europe-Amérique par le pôle. Nordenskjöld avait ouvert le passage du Nord-Est (1878-1879), Amundsen se consacre à celui du Nord-Ouest. Il achète le Gjöa , un vieux mais solide phoquier de vingt-deux mètres de long, monté par six hommes d’équipage et transportant pour cinq ans de vivres. Le 17 juin 1903, il part de Christiania (l’actuelle Oslo) et s’insinue le long de la côte canadienne jusqu’au rivage sud de l’île du Roi-Guillaume, où il hiverne pendant deux ans (9 sept. 1903-12 août 1905), profitant de ce long arrêt pour étudier le pôle magnétique Nord. Poursuivant sa route vers l’ouest, il hiverne de nouveau à King Point, près de l’embouchure du Mackensie (1905-1906). Enfin, le 30 août 1906, il pénètre dans le port de Nome (Alaska), sa mission accomplie.

Later, Amundsen was cheated from another North Pole first, when American Admiral Richard Byrd claimed to have flown a plane over the North Pole with Floyd Bennett. Subsequent first-person historical evidence now suggests that Byrd never quite made it, and that Amundsen, who crossed the pole in a rigid airship a short time later in 1926 actually was first. Amundsen disappeared while flying a rescue mission to save a fellow explorer in the Arctic in 1928.

Interested in the current conditions at the South Pole? (The coldest webpage you will ever see!!!) 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 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 plans - for an expedition to the Antarctic and the subsequent capture of the South Pole.

The only monument here is a 12-foot "bauta," or stone shaft, made of Norwegian granite, and it features a relief of Roald Amundsen (1872-1928). The shaft has been here since 1930, and it marks where Amundsen's ship, the Gjoa (pronounced "Joe") was in dry-dock. It had been pulled ashore here in 1909, and placed on dry-dock display, after being given to the people of San Francisco from its Norwegian community. The ship's story is very much like the belief that unless you show someone you love them, they might go away. As a teenager I remember Amundsen's ship, and how the locals usually zipped by without stopping to read the plaque. In 1972 the ship was returned to Norway. The secret: Roald Amundsen was one of the world's most important explorers. Between 1903 and 1906 his crew were the first to navigate successfully the Northwest passage, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Along the way Amundsen's expedition had determined the position of the Magnetic North Pole. And the epic adventure was completed when this 69-foot sailing ship entered San Francisco in 1906. Its arrival was greeted with great celebration and acclaim.

The Big White McLeod is flying in mid-summer when temperatures improve considerably, but as a pilot, he faces the danger of icing on his airplane. If icing occurs, he will fly higher to get in cooler temperatures where there is no icing to bring down his plane. There are serious environmental problems facing Antarctica. Tourism is a concern. More than 13,000 people visit Antarctic per year. They mainly travel on cruise ships. More pressing are problems concerning commercial fishing and ocean warning as they affect animals such as penguins and whales. Research shows that penguins are now stressed because of reduced fish populations in nearby waters. Whether this is a result of over fishing or global warming, it is hard to tell. Questions for discussion: How does the climate you live in differ from Antarctica? What environmental problems face the continent? How does Antarctica differ from the Arctic? Why do people want to visit Antarctica nowadays?

On December 14, 1911, he and four members of his party became the first humans to stand on the South Pole. In 1926, Amundsen, Lincoln Ellsworth and Italian explorer Umberto Nobile flew across the North Pole. In 1928, Nobile was reported missing on his return from the North Pole. Amundsen flew to rescue him, but he disappeared and was never found. Ironically, Nobile was rescued and lived to see man walk on the Moon, dying in 1978 at the age of 93. Fine condition.

Il norvegese Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) è stato il più popolare e ammirato esploratore della sua generazione e certamente il più importante esploratore polare. Fu il primo a navigare tra il 1903 e il 1906 attraverso il mitico Passaggio a Nord Ovest e nel 1901 il primo conquistatore del Polo Sud e fu, probabilmente, il primo a piantare una bandiera al Polo Nord nel 1926. Quando nel 1924 fallì non esitò a rispedire in Siberia dalla Norvegia le due ragazze eschimesi che aveva adottato affermando che si trattava solo di un esperimento. Nel suo diario privato, scritto con lo stile dei telegrammi mai spediti, riferisce dei suoi rapporti con il grande amore della sua vita Kiss Bennett, già sposata proprio come altre donne con cui coltivò rapporti sentimentali.
