Modern Viking.

('Victory awaits him who has everything in order-people call it luck'. Roald Amundsen 1872-1928) . A Norwegian, Roald Amundsen was the finest explorer on the ice North and South the world has known. He was first to sail the Northwest Passage, through the Arctic Ocean along the coast of North America through Bering Strait to the Pacific, taking three years. Now Amundsen thought of thethe chance to be first to the South Pole, before Captain Robert Scott. Amundsen set up headquarters at the Bay of Whales. With a few companions, Amundsen reached the South Pole before Scott. Much later Amundsen took off to the Arctic again, torescue Italian colleagues, but his plane crashed and his body was never found. He remains the hero of the Arctic and Antarctic. -3 August,2019.
