Roald Amundsen

This portrait sculpture of Roald Amundsen was created in cooperation with the Fram Museum in Oslo.

Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer of polar regions. He was a key figure of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.

More Info
From 1903 to 1906, he led the first expedition to successfully traverse the Northwest passage on the sloop Gjoa. In 1909, Amundsen began planning for a South Pole exhibition.

He left Norway in June 1910 on the ship Fram
and reached Antartica in January 1911. His party established a camp at the Bay of Whales and a series of supply depots on the Barrier (now known as the Ross Ice Shelf) before setting out for the pole in October.

The party of five, led by Amundsen, became the first to successfully reach the South Pole on 14 December 1911.

Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer of polar regions. He was a key figure of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.

More Info
He gained prominence at various points in his life as an explorer, scientist, diplomat and humanitarian.

He led the team that made the first crossing of the
Greenland interior in 1888, traversing the island on cross-country skis.

He won international fame after reaching a record northern latitude of 86°14′ during his
Fram expedition of 1893—1896.

Although he retired from exploration after his return to Norway, his techniques of polar travel and his innovations in equipment and clothing influenced a generation of subsequent
Arctic and Antarctic expeditions.
