Extractions: About WNP Links by Hamilton Barrett This site is located along the Great Highway at San Francisco's Ocean Beach, in the parking lot of the Beach Chalet Restaurant on the western edge of Golden Gate Park. The only monument here is a 12-foot "bauta," or stone shaft, made of Norwegian granite, and it features a relief of Roald Amundsen (1872-1928). The shaft has been here since 1930, and it marks where Amundsen's ship, the Gjoa (pronounced "Joe") was in dry-dock. It had been pulled ashore here in 1909, and placed on dry-dock display, after being given to the people of San Francisco from its Norwegian community. The ship's story is very much like the belief that unless you show someone you love them, they might go away. As a teenager I remember Amundsen's ship, and how the locals usually zipped by without stopping to read the plaque. In 1972 the ship was returned to Norway. The secret: Roald Amundsen was one of the world's most important explorers. Between 1903 and 1906 his crew were the first to navigate successfully the Northwest passage, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Along the way Amundsen's expedition had determined the position of the Magnetic North Pole. And the epic adventure was completed when this 69-foot sailing ship entered San Francisco in 1906. Its arrival was greeted with great celebration and acclaim.

Extractions: In his memoirs, the famous polar explorer Roald Amundsen describes how he was once nearly mauled to death by a polar bear. He remembers his surprise at his own last thoughts when he was sure he was close to die. "I wondered how many pins are swept up from the sidewalks on Regent Street in London on a Monday morning." A strange image indeed. What would Sigmumd Freud have said? Actually, Freud did have a chance to offer his opinions, though he never met the explorer. He guessed Amundsen's rather trivial death vision might have been "a vision of a worthless life". What if Sigmund Freud had a chance to truly analyse Amundsen's psyche? What if the great doctor was given an opportunity to uncover what we now know about Amundsen's secret life and loves? If we had known about the famous explorer's love to a woman who lived near London's Regent Street? Would it have altered his analysis on Amundsen's vision? We will use fictive sessions on Freud's couch in Vienna as a starting point for a different kind of documentary about the Norwegian explorer. Amundsen's secret love on London was just one of several clandestine relationships. He used his lovers as inspiration for his various expeditions, but rejected them after his polar dreams were fulfilled.

He had reached a goal that was the dream of many men. For the first time, human voices broke the awesome silence of the world's southernmost point. The achievement was to bring fame to Amundsen and his men. But in a letter, describing his reactions at that time, Amundsen openly confessed that "no man has ever stood at the spot so diametrically opposed to the object of his real desires", which for the ambitious Norwegian was the North Pole. For Amundsen a new goal always beckoned. He himself described his life as a "constant journey towards the final destination". By Linn Ryne Amundsen was born in 1872 at Borge, near the town of Sarpsborg, in southeast Norway. From boyhood days his life was singularly purposeful. No nagging doubts troubled his firm resolution. He wished to be a polar explorer. He devoured all the literature he could acquire on polar exploration, particularly the ill-fated journey of the British explorer, Sir John Franklin, who with the "Erebus" and the "Terror" set out to find the Northwest Passage in 1845, and never returned. Like Nansen he devoted a great deal of time to training and strengthening his physique to make his body a perfect instrument for the hazardous adventures he was determined to undertake. However, he was a dutiful son, and bowed to his mother's wish that he study medicine. But at the age of 21, when both his parents had died, Roald Amundsen sold his medical textbooks, packed away the cranium he had studied and announced his intention of becoming a polar explorer.

Extractions: Nord-Weg - Der Weg nach Norwegen Hier sind Sie: Pfad: Nord-Weg-Home Rund um Norwegen Biografie: Roald Amundsen J edes Leben hat sein Ziel, jeder Mensch seine Bestimmung. Manche verfehlen ihre Bestimmung, manche finden sie erst nach langen Irrwegen und Fehlschlägen, einige aber haben sie in der Jugend als Vision vor Augen und folgen ihr traumwandlerisch durchs Leben wie einem sicheren Kompass, ungeachtet aller Niederlagen. So einer war Roald Amundsen. Das Außergewöhnliche seines Lebens liegt weniger in den staunenswerten Pionierleistungen dieses Mannes als in der Unerbittlichkeit, mit der er seinem Lebensziel bis zum Tode nachjagte. Sein Lebensziel - was war das? Die Nordwestpassage? Die Eroberung des Südpols? Der Flug zum Nordpol? In Wahrheit bedeuteten ihm alle diese Ziele als solche nichts. Sie waren ihm gleichgültig, wenn er sie erreicht hatte - abstrakte geografische Punkte und Linien in der schweigenden Wüste des ewigen Eises, wo die Spuren des Menschen schon am nächsten Tag verweht sind. Amundsen war kein Schatzsucher und unterwarf keine fremden Völker wie seine Zeitgenossen im ,,dunklen Afrika". Sein Lebensziel war er selbst - Roald Amundsen, der Übermensch. Was diesen Mann antrieb, war der Ruhm und nichts als der Ruhm: Als Erster dort gewesen zu sein, Strapazen auf sich genommen und überstanden zu haben wie vor ihm kein anderer, die menschenfeindlichsten Regionen dieses Planeten ,,besiegt" zu haben - nur auf sich selbst und eine Handvoll Männer gestellt, ohne technische Hilfsmittel, ohne Verbindung zur Außenwelt, mit keiner anderen Kraft ausgestattet als dem ans Wahnhafte grenzenden Willen: es zu schaffen!

http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/2/24/h24-1910-e.html

Extractions: The Norse Roald Amundsen was born in Norway in 1872. His father was a ship owner and his mother dreamed that he would become a doctor. The young man abandoned his medical studies for navigation. His first experiences were on whalers in the Spitzbergen area. In 1897, he accompanied the Belgian navigator Adrien De Gerlanche on an expedition to the Antarctic where he learned of the difficulties related to survival in the north . But his dream was to take up the challenge of looking for a passage across the Arctic to the northwest. At this time, the North was relatively well known but no-one had yet sailed from east to west. He found six companions and bought a light ship , the , in 1902. The travelers prepared themselves for living under extreme conditions with intense physical training by running and spending long hours skiing and biking. Roald Amundsen Copright/Source If Amundsen's primary objective was to go through the Northwest Passage, the mission for which he had received financial support was to see if the magnetic pole that James Clark Ross had found in 1830 was still in the same location, something which was questioned at the time. Amundsen's scientific research relocated the magnetic pole more than 50 kilometres northeast of the position set by Ross over 70 years earlier. On August 13, 1905, Amundsen again sailed west. He went through Simpson Strait, south of King William Island, a treacherous strait strewn with ice and barely submerged rocks. He then crossed the Gulf of Queen Maud and entered Dease Strait to come out at the other end of Dolphin and Union Strait into the gulf that bears his name today. This period, he wrote, comprised "the three longest weeks of my life". He was rewarded, though. On August 27, 1905, while resting in his cabin, Amundsen heard one of his companions cry, "'Vessel in sight!'" A whaler was coming from the west. Moved, Amundsen realized that his childhood dream had just come true. He had crossed the Northwest Passage and he knew that he could complete the rest of his trip.

Amundsen called Gjoa Haven the finest little harbor in the world. The harbour provided refuge from massive pack ice and stormy seas. Amundsen and his crew wintered here in 1903 and learned about the land from the local Inuit the Nattilik. The survival skills he learned here played a large part in the success of his exploration exploits. While in Gjoa Harbour Amundsen studied the effects of the magnetic north pole. He spent months making magnetic observations here. At that time Magnetic North was about 90 miles from Gjoa Haven. Amundsen was planning a voyage to the geographic North Pole in 1909 when he heard the news that Admiral Robert E. Peary had reached the North Pole first. He immediately changed his plans and charted a course to Antarctica and the South Pole. Amundsen became the first man to reach the South Pole in 1911.
