About the author

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.

Reviews

[Owain · Rating 3 out of 5]

The 1st half was about the journey itself and the planning. The second half about each station including meteorology and radio. I found the 1st half more suited to my taste, but if you would like to learn about early airship navigation, meteorological services and radio then the second half is a wealth of information.

Not as funny as always grandpa

Not a very good book from a literary sense, but a very interesting primary source. One or two of the several authors made me laugh, but others were a little too utilitarian.
