	Norway Info - Norwegian IMPACT - Amundsen to the South Pole
		Amundsen, Roald (1872-1928) Norwegian polar explorer; was first to the South Pole (1911).
		He gave his name to a sea, the arm of the South Pacific West Antarctica off Marie Byrd Land, and to Amundsen Gulf, the southeastern extension of the Beaufort Sea of the Arctic Ocean, and named the subdivision of the Transantarctic Mountains of central Antarctica for Queen Maud Mountains after the Norwegian Queen.
		When news reached Amundsen in 1909 that the American Robert Peary had reached the North Pole, and he also knew that the Englishman Robert Falcon Scott was working on his second attempt to reach the South Pole, Amundsen - with his driving ambition to be first - resolved to get there first.

	Roald Amundsen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roald Engebreth Gravning Amundsen (July 16, 1872 – June 1928) was a Norwegian explorer of polar regions.
		By Amundsen's own estimation, the doctor for the expedition, American Frederick Cook, probably saved the crew from scurvy by hunting for animals and feeding the crew fresh meat, an important lesson for Amundsen's future expeditions.
		Amundsen would have to find his own entirely new path south to the Pole and, as he would later discover, ascend the Trans-Antarctic Mountains to reach the Polar Plateau.
