edit data

Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) was Norwegian explorer, first man to reach the South Pole (1911).

Roald Amundsen first navigated completely Amundsen Gulf, an inlet, opening of the Arctic Ocean in Northwest Territories, Canada, on the Beaufort Sea, during his expedition of 1903 to 1906 to the region.

A Norwegian expedition explored and named Amundsen Sea, an arm of the southern Pacific Ocean off the coast of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica, in the late 1920s.

At the turn of the late 19th century, Amundsen led the expedition successfully to traverse the Northwest Passage.

Quotes by Roald Amundsen (?)

“Adventure is just bad planning.”

“I may say that this is the greatest factor: the way in which the expedition is equipped, the way in which every difficulty is foreseen, and precautions taken for meeting or avoiding it. Victory awaits him who has everything in order, luck, people call it. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time, this is called bad luck.”
