Headline News Weather Wildlife/Penguins Science History Shackleton Stations Treaty Expeditions Roald Amundsen History Main Timeline 'Race to the Pole Norwegian polar explorer, born in Borge, and educated at the University of Christiania (now the University of Oslo). He entered the Norwegian navy in 1894 and spent the following nine years studying science. From 1903 to 1906 he led his first important expedition in the small sloop Gjöa. During this voyage he sailed successfully through the Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean and determined the position of the north magnetic pole. His next expedition (1910-1912) sailed in a larger ship, the Fram, and gained fame as one of the most successful undertakings in the history of Antarctic exploration. With his companions, he lived in Antarctica for more than a year, conducting explorations and scientific investigations. On December 14, 1911, he reached the South Pole, becoming the first person known to have accomplished this feat. He had favorable weather conditions during the voyages, but his success was due primarily to his knowledge of polar conditions, his attention to minute details, and his ability to endure great physical stress.

As an adolescent he read John Franklin 's works with passionate interest and resolved to go in search of the famous Northwest Passage for which so many explorers had perished. Amundsen learned the sailor's trade on whaling ships. In 1897 he accompanied Belgian navigator Adrien de Gerlache as second in command on an expedition to the Antarctic, thus taking part in the first wintering in those regions. In 1902 Amundsen bought a 47-ton cutter, the . In June of the following year he went to sea with six companions, reached the west coast of Greenland, crossed Baffin Sea and entered Lancaster Strait. He spent the following two winters on King William Island doing scientific research which enabled him, among other things, to reposition the magnetic pole at more than 50 kilometers northwest of the position determined by John Ross in 1830.

Home History Library Museum ... Site Map Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) Roald Engebreth Gravning Amundsen enjoyed being referred to as the last of the Vikings . He is now considered by some as the greatest polar explorer of all times, having bridged the gap between the eras of traditional and machine based polar exploration by mastering a combination of the best of the so called "primitive" techniques of the Eskimo with a dash of modern technology. He was well aware that when it came to surviving in the polar regions, a few hundred years of European technology could not out-do the Eskimo's ten thousand years of experience. His unique mixture of technical skills, thorough planning and leadership skills are unequaled in exploration history. Amundsen was, however, plagued by an almost complete disregard for monetary issues. He was in heavy personal debt at the eve of departure for almost all of his expeditions, and was constantly mortgaging his house or borrowing money from family and friends. Upon returning from the unkown his writings and lectures always made the deed sound too easy. He expected his achievments to speak for themselves, and so supressed the difficulties he encountered, and his thorough planning and leadership resulted in an all-around lack of suffering that the press and public did not appreciate. They crave drama, desparation and screw ups. Amundsen's screw ups usually resulted in loss of income, rather than some sort of fight for survival. Amundsen was almost too good at what he did!

[RETURN TO UAA ARCHIVES HOME PAGE] [COLLECTION LIST] ROALD AMUNDSEN, 1872-1928. Papers, 1905-1926. 1 reel, microfilm. Guide. Roald Amundsen was born in Borge, Norway in 1872. He began an education in medicine, but left to go to sea. Amundsen became identified with Polar explorations. In 1897, he served on the Belgica on the Belgian Antarctic Expedition. Between 1903 and 1906 he traversed the Northwest Passage on the Gjoa . In December, 1911, he reached the South Pole a month before R. F. Scott. He traversed the Northeast Passage in the Maud between 1918 and 1920. Later he flew from Spitzbergen with L. Ellsworth in an attempt to reach the North Pole. The effort failed when they were forced to land on pack ice. He flew over the North Pole in the air ship Norge with Umberto Nobile in 1926. Two years later he died while participating in a search for Nobile after the wreck of the airship Italia This collection consists of a reel of microfilm containing copies of documents, correspondence, articles and photographs from Alaskan and other libraries concerning Amundsen's activities in Alaska. The papers primarily concern the period between 1903 and 1906, and the period from 1918 to 1928. Most of the correspondence is between Amundsen and Carl Loman, a resident of Nome. There are several of Carl Loman's diaries, as well as photographs of Amundsen, Loman and his family, Nobile, and of various vessels and airships. Approximately half the collection is composed of printed materials such as newspaper clippings and articles. These materials were compiled by the Alaska Historical Library, Juneau, Alaska. A finding aid was compiled by Stephen Jackson.
