14th December 1911: Roald Amundsen reaches the South Pole
They arrived five weeks ahead of British explorer Robert Falcon Scott, and successfully made it back to their basecamp whereas Scott did not.
Amundsen originally planned to become the first to reach the North Pole, but changed his target to the South Pole after he learned of the now-disputed claim by rival American explorers that they had already reached it. Keeping his new plan secret, even from his crew, his ship departed Norway on the 9th August. He only told them of their destination a month later, shortly before they left their final port on the island of Madeira.
Amundsen’s ship arrived in an Antarctic inland known as the Bay of Whales on the 14th January 1911, where the crew established a base known as Framheim. They then spent the next three months preparing depots across the Ross Ice Shelf, prior to the onset of Antarctic winter.
As soon as the sun returned at the end of August, Amundsen attempted to reach the pole but was forced to turn back due to the harsh conditions. A second attempt that began in mid-October was much more successful, seeing them arrive at the pole almost 2 months later.
As well as being the first expedition leader to reach the South Pole, Amundsen is also the first person to be universally recognised as reaching the North Pole as a result of his 1926 air expedition, making him the first person also to reach both poles.

Geir Kløver on Roald Amundsen
Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen's achievements in polar exploration were unmatched in his day. He was the first person to traverse the Northwest Passage and, less than a decade later, reached the South Pole a full five weeks ahead of his rival Robert Scott. What was his secret? And what can we learn from his accomplishments a century later?
We sat down with Geir Kløver, author, historian and director of the Fram Museum in Oslo, to hear his insights into Amundsen's legacy.

The Blinding Sea - BLUE 2014: Exploration & Adventure Honorable Mention
Synopis: The Blinding Sea, a 52-minute high-definition film, explores the life and loves of Roald Amundsen (1872-1928), the most successful polar explorer of all time. The film portrays him not as a lone white hero of legend, but as a person who shared with the Inuit and Inupiat of Arctic Canada and Alaska and the Chukchi of Siberia. He gained vital knowledge that enabled him to navigate the Northwest Passage, conquer the South Pole, navigate the Northeast Passage and be first confirmed to have reached the North Pole. Shot entirely on location in Antarctica, the High Arctic between Alaska and Nunavut, and Mexico and Norway, The Blinding Sea is a non-derivative film affirming the values of courage, dignity and sharing of knowledge in a multicultural setting.

1. Roald Amundsen reaches the South Pole (December 14th 1911).
On December 14th 1911 Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen broke one of the last frontiers for humans on earth by becoming the first person to reach the South Pole beating his British rival, Robert Falcon Scott.
In true Viking fashion, Amundsen was one tough cookie. His explorer adventures started in 1896 when he joined a Belgian Antarctic Expedition that eventually became trapped by pack ice and therefore, without meaning to, they became the first to spend a complete winter in Antarctic waters. So while the rest of the crew rapidly fell to depression, starvation, insanity and scurvy, Amundsen was fresh like a rose, so he spent his time recording everything and using the experience to learn more about polar conditions. The guy was a machine! Anyway, such an experience only increased his passion for polar exploration and his dream to be the first to conquer the North Pole, so he spent several years fundraising and organizing the expedition to take him there. However just as he was about to start in 1909, American explorers Frederick Cook and Robert Peary claimed to have reached the North Pole already… Ok… would that stop him? No way! He didn’t tell anybody but decided to change plans… if he could not be the first in the North Pole, there was still another pole left! Thing is there was this other British expedition that had been planning to reach the South Pole, so when people found out the secret change of plans, let’s just say they were not too happy. But thanks to his superhuman will and the help of dogs, which were used for transport and as healthy protein supplement for their diet, Amundsen reach the South Pole first, planted there the Norwegian flag and made history.
KINO the pig is the conductor of the show, but for the other visual support we have used content found online (and sometimes we have altered it to make it relevant and funny). We have tried to get as much as possible from public domain and the rest most is parody. However since on Google Images it is hard to tell, we surely end up with some material made by someone else and we would have liked to list all the sources but honestly, the list would be endless, so if you want to get some image, let us know in the comments and if the original work is yours and you would like us to mention, let us know and we will happily do so.

roald amundsen basic infomation
here's a brief story about roald amundsen and his antarctic south pole expedition.
Phil Coates PD Cameraman - Blizzard Race To The Pole - BBC2 / Histroy Amundsen Team Compilation
I filmed on the Greenland Ice Cap for 10 weeks shooting in temperatures down to minus 38C. My job was to capture the essence of the Amundsen team's journey through a combination of sumptuous GVs, time lapse sequences and intimate story telling. The final storm sequence took over 3 days to film - I had to contend with wind blown snow streaming into the lens so after each shot I would have to patiently clean the camera and then begin shooting from another angle. A time consuming process however I was definitely please with the end result...

Neolithicvox - Amundsen
In Memoriam of R.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 plans--for 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.

Roald Amundsen on Exploration
- Welcome to Values Quotes. I'm Robert Ferguson.
100 years ago this month, in March 1912, the announcement came that mankind had reached the South Pole. It was Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer, who led the Antarctic expedition.
Today's quote comes from Amundsen, in honor of his successful exploration.
Amundsen stated:
Victory awaits him who has everything in order. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time.
Wise words from a man who was speaking from experience.
Because there was another team at that time, lead by Robert Scott, that was also on an exploration to reach the South Pole. Scott's team had a tragic ending, while Amundsen's team was successful.
The reason?
A better understanding of the true value of exploration.
As a differentiating value, Exploration means a careful or systematic consideration or search. Success -- or victory - goes to the one who appreciates carefulness and implements proper systems. And not just in the actual time of exploring, but in the preparation.
If you are seeking victory in your explorations, I encourage you to consider the wise words of Roald Amundsen. Make sure you have everything in order before you venture out.
Roald Amundsen
Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen (Norwegian: [ˈɾuːɑl ˈɑmʉnsən]; 16 July 1872 – c. 18 June 1928) was a Norwegian explorer of polar regions. He led the Antarctic expedition (1910–12) to become the first men to reach the South Pole in December 1911. In 1926, he was the first expedition leader to be recognized without dispute as having reached the North Pole.
He is also known as the first to traverse the Northwest Passage (1903–06). He disappeared in June 1928 while taking part in a rescue mission. Amundsen, Douglas Mawson, Robert Falcon Scott, and Ernest Shackleton were key expedition leaders during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.

Roald Amundsen
Roald Amundsen was one of the greatest explorers of all time. His 1903–1906 expedition was the first to travel the length of the legendary Northwest Passage, proving that such a route actually existed. But in the century after his feat, few ships made the crossing. Heavy pack ice made the transit impossible for most vessels. Over the past decade, however, sea ice has declined dramatically—a trend that is expected to continue. More and more ships are making the voyage every year, transporting cargo and people over this new route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. With the increased traffic comes both opportunity and risk. ADAC is helping prepare for both.

The Race to the South Pole, Every Day
Watch two men Battle to reach the South Pole first, as one of the last undiscovered places on Earth. it would take nearly 50 years until someone reached the geographic South Pole again.
NOTE: Roald Amundsen was NOT the first man to transit the Northwest Passage, that honour would go to Robert McClure. However he was the first person to cross the Northwest Passage as McClure's ship froze stuck at Banks Island and they had to be rescued by HMS Resolute who took them with sledges to Melville Island and then the incapacitated crew were sent to Beechey Island were they sailed through Greenland to England.

The South Pole; an account of the Norwegian Antarctic expedition in the Fram, 1910-12 (FULL Audio Book)
by Roald Amundsen (1872 -- 1928), translated by A. G. Chater (???? -- ????)
In contrast to Scott's South Pole expedition, Amundsen's expedition benefited from good equipment, appropriate clothing, and a fundamentally different primary task (Amundsen did no surveying on his route south and is known to have taken only two photographs) Amundsen had a better understanding of dogs and their handling, and he used of skis more effectively. He pioneered an entirely new route to the Pole and they returned. In Amundsen's own words: 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. Short accounts by other members of the party are appended.
