4.9/5 (34205 ratings)

Description:In the annals of polar exploration one name perhaps stands out above any other- that of Roald Amundsen, who [de]voted his life to increasing man’s knowledge of the polar regions. He was the first man to conquer the Northwest passage- the seaway tat had haunted men’s dream for so many years – and, when defeated by Peary in an attempt to become that first man to reach the North Pole, he headed an expedition to discover the South Pole. Always restlessly seeking to learn more and more about the barren extremes of the earth, he continued his explorations. After an unsuccessful and harrowing attempt to make a transpolar flight by plane, he and fellow-explorer Lincoln Ellsworth organized an expedition to make the trips by dirigible, and in the airship Norge they made the first crossing of the Arctic ocean. An inspiring story of courage and bravery, this is dramatically written and exciting account of a great man’s journeys to the end of the earth.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
