About the author
Born in Borge, Norway, in 1872, Roald Amundsen became one of the most successful polar explorers of the early twentieth century. He completed the first known navigation of the Northwest Passage from 1903 to 1906, an achievement that established his reputation as a careful and determined expedition leader.
Amundsen reached the South Pole on December 14, 1911, becoming the first person to do so. He later took part in major Arctic air expeditions, including the 1926 flight of the airship Norge across the North Pole region.
Alongside his exploration work, Amundsen wrote accounts of his journeys, including The South Pole and My Life as an Explorer. He disappeared in June 1928 while taking part in a rescue mission in the Arctic and was never found.
