Amundsen a 17 ans lorsque Nansen réussit la première traversée du Groenland ; il décide alors que sa vie sera consacrée au froid, à l'aventure, à la glace. Après une rude éducation de skieur et de marin, il accumule les exploits les plus extraordinaires, tant au pôle Nord qu'au pôle Sud, choisissant des compagnons à son image : aventureux et méthodiques, fraternels et infatigables. Il devancera ainsi de quelques semaines au pôle Sud le Britannique Scott , qui mourra sur le chemin du retour. Puis il continuera à selancer avec obstination dans de nouvelles entreprises, malgré des demi-succès, comme sa tentative dans le passage du Nord-Est au large de la Sibérie, ou le raid quasi suicidaire qu'il effectua avec deux hydravions au-dessus de la banquise arctique. Amundsen sera également le premier à survoler le pôle Nord à bord du dirigeable Norge, volant du Spitzberg à l'Alaska. Une rivalité bientôt transformée en haine l'opposera au pilote de cette expédition, l'Italien

Nord-Weg - Der Weg nach Norwegen Hier sind Sie: Pfad: Nord-Weg-Home Rund um Norwegen Biografie: Roald Amundsen J edes Leben hat sein Ziel, jeder Mensch seine Bestimmung. Manche verfehlen ihre Bestimmung, manche finden sie erst nach langen Irrwegen und Fehlschlägen, einige aber haben sie in der Jugend als Vision vor Augen und folgen ihr traumwandlerisch durchs Leben wie einem sicheren Kompass, ungeachtet aller Niederlagen. Roald Amundsen So einer war Roald Amundsen. Das Außergewöhnliche seines Lebens liegt weniger in den staunenswerten Pionierleistungen dieses Mannes als in der Unerbittlichkeit, mit der er seinem Lebensziel bis zum Tode nachjagte. Sein Lebensziel - was war das? Die Nordwestpassage? Die Eroberung des Südpols? Der Flug zum Nordpol? In Wahrheit bedeuteten ihm alle diese Ziele als solche nichts. Sie waren ihm gleichgültig, wenn er sie erreicht hatte - abstrakte geografische Punkte und Linien in der schweigenden Wüste des ewigen Eises, wo die Spuren des Menschen schon am nächsten Tag verweht sind. Amundsen war kein Schatzsucher und unterwarf keine fremden Völker wie seine Zeitgenossen im ,,dunklen Afrika". Sein Lebensziel war er selbst - Roald Amundsen, der Übermensch. Was diesen Mann antrieb, war der Ruhm und nichts als der Ruhm: Als Erster dort gewesen zu sein, Strapazen auf sich genommen und überstanden zu haben wie vor ihm kein anderer, die menschenfeindlichsten Regionen dieses Planeten ,,besiegt" zu haben - nur auf sich selbst und eine Handvoll Männer gestellt, ohne technische Hilfsmittel, ohne Verbindung zur Außenwelt, mit keiner anderen Kraft ausgestattet als dem ans Wahnhafte grenzenden Willen: es zu schaffen!

As a youth http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/ice/peopleevents/pandeAMEX87.html

Roald Amundsen Roald Engebreth Gravning Amundsen of Norway took pride in being referred to as "the last of the Vikings." A powerfully built man of over six feet in height, Amundsen was born into a family of merchant sea captains and prosperous ship owners in 1872. As a youth he insisted on sleeping with the windows open even during the frigid Norwegian winters to help condition himself for a life of polar exploration. Amundsen developed a fascination with Antarctica from the time he first glimpsed its frozen terrain in 1897. Antarctica, a continent the size of Europe and Australia combined, had not yet been traversed by humans. Amundsen aimed to be the first. By August of 1910, Amundsen was ready to make his own attempt to reach the South Pole, although all the world thought he was headed in the complete opposite direction. He had secretly ruled out attempting to reach the North Pole, because Americans Robert Peary and Frederick Cook had already laid claim to that feat. Amundsen even kept his plans for a South Pole expedition a secret from officials within the Norwegian government. He feared that government officials would be hesitant to challenge Great Britain, upon whom they were highly dependent, in a race to the Pole. It was not until Amundsen's ship, "Fram", was well off the coast of Morocco that he announced to his crew that they were headed for the South, not the North, Pole. Roald Amundsen lived to experience other polar adventures, including flying over the North Pole in a dirigible in 1926. But the Arctic would eventually claim his life, too. While flying on a rescue mission in 1928, Amundsen was killed when his plane crashed into the Arctic Ocean. That same year, speaking to a journalist about his love of the icy Arctic, Amundsen said, "If only you knew how splendid it is up there, that's where I want to die."

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. In 1918, back in the Arctic, Amundsen set out to negotiate the Northeast Passage in the

See Also Roald Amundsen - Passageways: True Tales of Adventure for Young Explorers ROALD AMUNDSEN NAVIGATES THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE Roald Englebert Gravning Amundsen The Norse Roald Amundsen was born in Norway in 1872. His father was a ship owner and his mother dreamed that he would become a doctor. The young man abandoned his medical studies for navigation. His first experiences were on whalers in the Spitzbergen area. In 1897, he accompanied the Belgian navigator Adrien De Gerlanche on an expedition to the Antarctic where he learned of the difficulties related to survival in the north . But his dream was to take up the challenge of looking for a passage across the Arctic to the northwest. At this time, the North was relatively well known but no-one had yet sailed from east to west. He found six companions and bought a light ship , the Roald Amundsen Copright/Source If Amundsen's primary objective was to go through the Northwest Passage, the mission for which he had received financial support was to see if the magnetic pole that James Clark Ross had found in 1830 was still in the same location, something which was questioned at the time. Amundsen's scientific research relocated the magnetic pole more than 50 kilometres northeast of the position set by Ross over 70 years earlier. On August 13, 1905, Amundsen again sailed west. He went through Simpson Strait, south of King William Island, a treacherous strait strewn with ice and barely submerged rocks. He then crossed the Gulf of Queen Maud and entered Dease Strait to come out at the other end of Dolphin and Union Strait into the gulf that bears his name today. This period, he wrote, comprised "the three longest weeks of my life". He was rewarded, though. On August 27, 1905, while resting in his cabin, Amundsen heard one of his companions cry, "'Vessel in sight!'" A whaler was coming from the west. Moved, Amundsen realized that his childhood dream had just come true. He had crossed the Northwest Passage and he knew that he could complete the rest of his trip.
