It offers a glimpse into the mind of a determined explorer and the incredible feats that can be achieved through perseverance, courage, and teamwork.The provisions were chosen with the greatest care, and packed with every precaution. All groceries were soldered in tin boxes, and then enclosed in strong wooden cases. The packing of tinned provisions is of enormous importance to a Polar expedition; it is impossible to give too much attention to this part of the supplies. Any carelessness, any perfunctory packing on the part of the factory, will as a rule lead to scurvy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The South pole, an account of the Norwegian Antarctic expedition in the 'Fram', 1910-1912 by Roald Amundsen. This book is a reproduction of the original book published in 1913 and may have some imperfections such as marks or hand-written notes.

Roald Amundsen's "The South Pole" is a detailed, even exhaustive account of his successful 1910-1912 expedition to the South Pole. Amundsen's expedition was the first to reach the South Pole, after failures by other expeditions. Amundsen was relentlessly methodical and practical in planning and executing the expedition. He identified a practical method of travel for the long haul to the South Pole from the Antarctic coast: dog sleds and skiis. He and his crew experimented and tested all their equipment and supplies in the Antarctic while patiently waiting for the right weather to travel. In striking contrast to his British competitor, Robert Falcon Scott, Amundsen correctly estimated the amount of food that would be consumed by physically active men operating for weeks in sub-zero temperatures. His story is one of the greatest tales of this age. In this book we hear in his own words the story of that rarest of plans - the perfectly executed coup. For a coup it was. When Amundsen turned from the North Pole to the South after the question of "the great nail" had been settled by Cook & Peary, his decision was treated in many sectors (most notably by the British Press) as underhanded and double dealing. Amundens account of the reasoning behind it makes clear that any deceit was necessary to ensure no forestalling of his plans by others - not only Scott. To ensure the future of his extended plan (the drift across the Arctic which was eventually carried out in the "Maud") he knew the Press Barons would need an exclusive and juicy story. The South Pole would give him this currency. The book is written in an honest and clean style. The hardships faced are almost disguised by the simple tale of their telling. To strike up an unknown glacier and forge his way over virgin ground on the way to the polar plateau and the Pole itself displays fortitude and grit we can only marvel at in today's world. But Amundsen's description of the task is hidden behind a work-a-day narrative. To truly appreciate the splendor of the achievement is difficult in our modern era. One cannot help but admire the total outcome of the plan. There are few tales in history and few great men who can truly say they accomplished exactly what they set out to do in the manner in which they planned. Those who can are masters of their field. Amundsen is such a man - and master. A feature of this book is the credit given by Amundsen to those who went with him. Roald Amundsen's account of his South Polar dash reveals how modest the man really was. He, alone (with the help of brother Leon), collected funds, found a suitable vessel, recruited professional polar travelers, bought dogs, food, materials of every kind, fought against incredible odds just to leave port with the expedition...all the while keeping it a secret! Amundsen's book is lot better than most novels. He was certainly one of the great explorers of the world.

Scott und Amundsen: der Kampf im ewigen EisRobert Falcon Scott war bereits zu seiner Forschungsreise in Richtung Antarktis aufgebrochen, als der Abenteurer Roald Amundsen ihm in einem Telegramm überraschend mitteilte, dass auch er eine Expedition unternehmen werde, um als erster Mensch den südlichsten Punkt der Erde zu erreichen. Das vielleicht dramatischste Rennen der Weltgeschichte hatte begonnen. Denn schon bald sollte sich aus dem Duell der Pioniere ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit und den antarktischen Winter entwickeln. In dieser spannenden Lesung ausgewählter Passagen aus Scotts Tagebuch und Amundsens Reisebericht werden die Geschehnisse für den Hörer noch einmal lebendig.Der norwegische Seemann Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) entwickelte sich durch sein Interesse für die Polar- und Meeresforschung in den ersten drei Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts zu einem der bedeutendsten Entdecker und Abenteurer der Geschichte. Er bescherte durch seine unerschrockenen und wagemutigen Unternehmungen der wissenschaftlichen Fachwelt wertvolle Erkenntnisse über den Nord- und Südpol. Sir Robert Falcon Scott wurde am 6. Juni 1868 bei Plymouth geboren, er starb 1912 während einer Expedition in der Antarktis. Auf Betreiben seines Vaters trat Scott mit 13 nach Abschluss der Schule der Royal Navy bei. Diese Berufswahl war nicht abwegig, da in der Familie Scotts von beiden Seiten eine Seefahrertradition bestand. Über verschiedene Ausbildungsstationen diente er sich vom Seekadett auf dem Ausbildungsschiff "HMS Britannia" hoch bis zum Torpedoleutnant auf der "HMS Majestic".

Roald Amundsen fattet tidlig interesse for fly som hjelpemiddel i polarforskningen. I 1922 skaffet han seg to fly, et lite for observasjon ut fra Maud, og et større han ville fly nordover med fra Alaskas nordkyst. 21. mai 1925 tok Roald Amundsen og Lincoln Ellsworth av fra Svalbard i et forsøk på å være de første som krysset Nordpolen med fly. De startet fra Ny-Ålesund på Svalbard med to fly og et mannskap på seks. Det ene flyet havarerte underveis og ekspedisjonen nådde aldri sitt mål.11. mai 1926 drog Amundsen og Ellsworth ut på en ny luftferd. Denne gang med luftskipet Norge, bygd i Italia av ingeniør Umberto Nobile. Nobile var luftskipets fører og Riiser-Larsen navigatør. Foruten disse besto ekspedisjonen av seks nordmenn, fem italienere og en svenske. Like over midnatt den 12. mai var de på polpunktet. Amundsen hadde nådd sitt siste, store mål.
