Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Norwegian North Polar Expedition, 1893-1896, Vol. 6: Scientific Results The history of our expedition is in several respects intimately connected with the name of my good friend, Prof. H. Mohn. As stated in the Introduction to my popular account of the Expedition("Farthest North") it was after reading a newspaper article by Prof. Mohn (in1884) on the Jeanette relics that I got the first suggestion towards the planning of the expedition. Mohn was one of the few who always believed in the practicability of this plan. He was one of the last friends to bid us farewell when we left Vardo in 1893, and by a strange coincidence he was also the first friend Johansen and I met, when three years later we again went ashore, also at Vardo. This important volume is entirely Mohn's work, and in now laying it before the scientific world I feel I could find no better opportunity of according him my special and cordial thanks for the valuable assistance he rendered the expedition in this and in other ways. At my request Professor H. Mohn kindly took charge of the meteorological equipment of the expedition from the very beginning. In concert with me, he laid the plan of the meteorological work to be carried out during the voyage; he ordered the instruments and tested them, and he gave Capt. Scott-Hansen the necessary instructions for making the observations, and pointed out how the whole meteorological work should be superintended.

Download or read book The South Pole written by Roald Amundsen and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-12-16 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Pole is a book by Roald Amundsen and it represents an interesting first-hand account of the Norwegian expedition's successful attempt to reach the South Pole in 1911. Amundsen spends a great deal of time talking about logistics and placing of depots in preparation for his polar attempt all the way from the preparation leading up to the initial sea voyage, the voyage itself and then the establishing of a camp at the Antarctic. Although they were lucky with the weather, and Amundsen attributed the success of the expedition to "good luck", it is obvious that the Norwegian expedition was well prepared and ready for the troubles ahead; the equipment, the sledges with well-trained dogs, the supply depots with seal meat at regular intervals along the route, the sunglasses to avoid snow blindness; it was all thought of in advance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Norwegian North Polar Expedition, 1893-1896, Vol. 1: Scientific Results The aim of this Report, the first volume of which now appears, is to give, in a series of separate Memoirs, a complete account of the Scientific Results of the Norwegian North Polar Expedition of 1893-1896. The expedition was rendered possible by the united support of His Majesty King Oscar, The Norwegian Storting, and a series of contributors, amongst whom may be mentioned the three men, Messrs. Thomas Fearnley, Axel Heiberg and Ellef Ringnes, who formed the Committee of the Expedition, bore the burden of arranging its pecuniary affairs, and assisted with so much valuable work; and further, Mr. C. J. A. Dick, Baron Oscar Dickson, Consul Westye Egeberg, Mr. Anton Chr. Houen, Mr. A. S. Kj0sterud, Consul Nicolay H. Knudtzon, Minister of State C.Lovenskiold, Mr. Amund Ringnes, the firm Halvor Schou, Mr. C.Sundt, Baron Harald Wedel-Jarlsberg, the Royal Geographical Society of London, and others. I do not know how to express in words the gratitude which my companions and I feel for the interest and confidence placed in our undertaking and ourselves before we started, and for the many signs of sympathy shown us after our return.

Download or read book Race to the South Pole written by Roald Amundsen and published by White Star Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part historical essay, part scientific article, and part enthralling diary-Roald Amundsen's (1872-1928) book presents intriguing documentation about how his expedition reached the South Pole on December 14, 1911, just one month ahead of his rival, Robert Scott. Amundsen organized his gripping account using what is referred to in the film industry as the zooming technique. It starts in the past, examining the history of Antarctic exploration in different eras, and then moves ahead to describe how his own expedition was created, its organization, the slow stages involved in preparing for departure and, finally, the heart-stopping excitement of the race to the South Pole. Supplementing the vivid first-person text are black-and-white archival photographs illustrating the actual expedition, and color photographs depicting the landscape of Antarctica.
