		Hanssen's sledge differed from the others, in that it had aluminium fittings instead of steel and no sledge-meter, as it had to be free from iron on account of the steering-compass he carried.
		Then Hanssen had to cross a crevasse a yard wide, and in doing it he was unlucky enough to catch the point of his ski in the traces of the hindmost dogs, and fall right across the crevasse.
		Hanssen appears to be a careful cook; he evidently does not like to burn the food, and his spoon stirs the contents of the pot incessantly.

		Now Mount Helmer Hanssen again towered high into the air; it flashed and sparkled like diamonds as it lay bathed in the rays of the morning sun.
		Hanssen, Bjaaland, and that team had covered about fifty miles that day, at an average rate of three to three and a half miles an hour.
		But the result is the same; if Hanssen had let Bjaaland go on without any correction, in the course of an hour or so the latter would probably have described a beautiful circle and brought himself back to the spot from which he had started.

		About noon Hanssen's three leading dogs, Helge, Mylius, and Ring, fell into one of them, and remained hanging by their harness; and it was lucky the traces held, as the loss of these three would have been severely felt.
		Hanssen, who drove first, was bound to have a fairly serviceable whip; the others did not matter so much, though it was rather awkward for them.
		Hanssen and Wisting were busy carrying out the new idea for the tents, and it was not long before they had finished.

		Amundsen and his 'brave little band" (Olav Bjaaland, Helmer Hanssen, Sverre Hassel and Oscar Wisting) trekked to the South Pole in three sledges pulled by sled dogs.
		Next came Helmer Hanssen as "our most efficient dog-driver." He carried the most-accurate compass on his sledge and checked the lead skier's direction.
		So finally, Helmer Hanssen and Olav Bjaaland, in order to "come a few inches nearer", walked 4 miles (7 km) south to the Pole.

		Laura Linney has a nice understated performance as O'Neill's point person, whose main function seems to be reminding him that Hanssen is a bad man doing things that have cost people their lives.
		Hanssen is still by far the smartest character in this film, but that doesn't mean he is without some major flaws and weaknesses.
		Also set in a rest home is "Helmer & Son," a hilarious Danish film about a naked old man who refuses to come out of his closet until his grown children come and see him.

	Antarctic Explorers: Roald Amundsen
		Kristian Prestrud, assisted by Hjalmar Johansen, made scientific observations; Sverre Hassel, assisted by Helmer Hanssen, was nicknamed the "Managing Director of Framheim's Coal, Oil and Coke Company Limited", the position responsible for supplying lamps and heaters with fuel.
		As well, a number of the dogs were suffering from the cold; two of the dogs froze to death in their sleep.
		Amundsen's excuse to the others was that Hanssen was suffering too severely from frostbite to linger behind...the men were not totally convinced.

	The South Pole by Roald Amundsen - The Return to Framheim
		"Hullo!" Hanssen suddenly exclaimed, "somebody has been here before." -- "Yes," broke in Wisting; "I'm hanged if that isn't my broken ski that I stuck up by the depot." So it was Wisting's broken ski that brought us out of this unpleasant situation.
		It was a good thing he put it there -- very thoughtful, in any case.
		Bjaaland himself has splendid sight, but his excellent snow-goggles -- his own patent -- entirely prevented his seeing.

	Amundsen's original South Pole Station
		What is of interest here is that Amundsen describes his "four navigators" as being Helmer Hanssen, Oscar Wisting, Sverre Hassel and himself--everyone BUT Bjaaland.
		Helmer Hanssen (right) is bending over the artificial horizon, which is a tray of mercury.
		In any case Amundsen considered the entire area as "the Pole," while at the same time he made certain he had gotten as close as possible using the available technology.
