Amundsen: Quiet Conqueror of the Polar Regions
This is a story about a little known, yet much misunderstood hero. But more than that it is also a story about a clash of philosophies, the dawn of a new era; a young nation, and a once mighty one - both in their own way experiencing an identity crisis.
In 1911, a young Norwegian explorer called Roald Amundsen reached the south Geographic Pole in a slick, clinical, sportsmanlike operation, having recently also been the first man to sail through the fabled North-West Passage on the other side of the globe. In doing so, he eclipsed a massive, lavishly funded, British polar expedition which was characterised by poor organisation, incompetent leadership and gross negligence that led to tragic suffering and loss of life.

The deadly race to the South Pole
Two exploration teams raced to the South Pole. Only one made it out alive.
Correction: A previous version of this video used an outdated British flag. The error has been corrected. We also occasionally referred to the British team as English. In fact, some members of Scott's team were Scottish and Welsh.

By the early 1900’s, nearly every region of the globe had been visited and mapped, with only two key locations left: the North and South Poles. After two Americans staked claim to reaching the North Pole, a Norwegian explorer and a British naval officer each set out for the last unmapped region in what newspapers called a “Race to the Pole.” Elizabeth Leane sets the scene for their journeys south.

Amundsen vs. Scott. What killed the British polar expedition?

PayPal: [email protected]
In 1909, the South Pole remained the last major geographic trophy to be won. Captain Robert Scott, who led the British expedition, was not going to rush: he developed a three-year program that involved extensive scientific research and systematic preparations for the trip to the Pole. He had no idea how much the Norwegians would interfere with his plans.
In this episode of ‘How It Was,’ we'll tell you about one of the most dramatic confrontations in the history of geographical discoveries - the rivalry between the British and Norwegians for the title of the first conquerors of the South Pole. Who coped better with the task: strong and hardy Norwegians, dressed in animal furs, or British scientist...

Amundsen - Virallinen Trailer
Elokuvateattereissa 26.4.
Facebook & Instagram: @Leffat
Unelma Pohjoisnavan saavuttamisesta piinaa Roald Amundsenia koko hänen elämänsä ajan. Hän suhtautuu pakkomielteisesti ajatukseen maapallon viimeisten kartoittamattomien alueiden löytämisestä.
Roald voittaa voittaa kilvan Robert Scottia vastaan ja hänestä tulee ensimmäinen Etelänavan valloittanut ihminen, mutta päiväkirjassaan hän kirjoittaa: ”Kukaan ei ole koskaan seisonut pisteessä, joka on täysin vastakkaisessa suunnassa verrattuna paikkaan, jossa todella haluaisi olla.”
Elokuva kertoo hänen rajattomasta innostaan naparetkeilijänä ja paljastaa tragedian, jonka hän aiheutti itselleen ja muille uhratessaan kaiken näille jäisille erämaille saavuttaakseen unelmansa - vain huomatakseen, ettei Pohjoisnavalla ole mitään löydettävää.

This is a story about a little known, yet much misunderstood hero. But more than that it is also a story about a clash of philosophies, the dawn of a new era; a young nation, and a once mighty one - both in their own way experiencing an identity crisis.
In 1911, a young Norwegian explorer called Roald Amundsen reached the south Geographic Pole in a slick, clinical, sportsmanlike operation, having recently also been the first man to sail through the fabled North-West Passage on the other side of the globe. In doing so, he eclipsed a massive, lavishly funded, British polar expedition which was characterised by poor organisation, incompetent leadership and gross negligence that led to tragic suffering and loss of life.
What followed in Britain was nothing less than a public cover-up, and whitewashing of their own expedition’s failures. Amundsen was characterised as a usurper and glory seeker, such that his reputation suffered even in his own fledgling nation of Norway. Undeterred, he would nevertheless push on with his polar ambitions, pioneering technology and protocols that saw him become the first explorer to reach both the north and south poles, the first to fly a plane beyond the arctic circle and even the first to fly an airship over the North Pole.
A very private and driven man unused to public life or promotional spin, his serious and reserved nature won him few friends, while his unromantic writing style and matter of fact lectures hardly fired the popular imagination, hungry as they were for swashbuckling heroics and adventure; such that his stature has been overshadowed by the likes of Scott and Shackleton.
In recent decades, a more sober reflection on what we now call the Heroic age of Polar exploration has begun to restore Amundsen to his pre-eminent position as the greatest of all Polar explorers. He was a man who spent years among the Netsilik Eskimo, studying their survival skills in minute detail, while astutely observing their culture with the greatest admiration and respect; pragmatically and successfully adopting their stone age wisdom while also embracing cutting edge technology. He was a man ahead of his time, yet was wise enough to apply the skills of the ancient ways in attaining his arctic goals.
Join us as we dive into the life and times of Roald Amundsen, quiet conqueror of the earth’s Polar regions.

Robert Falcon Scott was a British explorer who dreamed of being the first person to reach the South Pole. In 1912, he reached the Pole only to learn that his Norwegian rival, Roald Amundsen, had beat him to it. Caught by freakish weather and a string of bad luck, his entire party died trying to get back. Reasons for his failure range from his use of ponies rather than dogs to a highly unusual temperature drop that made the journey back impossible to survive.

In 1909, the South Pole remained the last major geographic trophy to be won. Captain Robert Scott, who led the British expedition, was not going to rush: he developed a three-year program that involved extensive scientific research and systematic preparations for the trip to the Pole. He had no idea how much the Norwegians would interfere with his plans.
In this episode of ‘How It Was,’ we'll tell you about one of the most dramatic confrontations in the history of geographical discoveries - the rivalry between the British and Norwegians for the title of the first conquerors of the South Pole. Who coped better with the task: strong and hardy Norwegians, dressed in animal furs, or British scientists, equipped with the latest science supplies? What mistakes can cost lives in Antarctica, and how can a literary gift turn defeat into victory? These are the topics explored in our new video.

Unelma Pohjoisnavan saavuttamisesta piinaa Roald Amundsenia koko hänen elämänsä ajan. Hän suhtautuu pakkomielteisesti ajatukseen maapallon viimeisten kartoittamattomien alueiden löytämisestä.
Roald voittaa voittaa kilvan Robert Scottia vastaan ja hänestä tulee ensimmäinen Etelänavan valloittanut ihminen, mutta päiväkirjassaan hän kirjoittaa: ”Kukaan ei ole koskaan seisonut pisteessä, joka on täysin vastakkaisessa suunnassa verrattuna paikkaan, jossa todella haluaisi olla.”
Elokuva kertoo hänen rajattomasta innostaan naparetkeilijänä ja paljastaa tragedian, jonka hän aiheutti itselleen ja muille uhratessaan kaiken näille jäisille erämaille saavuttaakseen unelmansa - vain huomatakseen, ettei Pohjoisnavalla ole mitään löydettävää.
