Madhouse Promenade

(inspired by this)

[roaldamundsen]

found the original

roald amundsen, a biography by tor bomann-larsen

[polarship]

he was the sun

[freshydip]

heyyyyy so if you are into the terror and for some reason you haven't yet, you should read madhouse at the end of the earth, a book about a similar polar expedition that took place ~50 years later on the other side of the world. it's delicious in how it portrays the crew and their interactions. roald amundsen and frederick cook in particular have a frankly adorable relationship that i cannot get enough of. cook had been to the arctic before this voyage and amundsen, still somewhat green, decided he was going to learn all he could from cook. cook recognized amundsen's indominable will and intelligence and knew he'd be a great companion. when they were stuck on the ice they'd go on small expeditions to areas around the ship together, just the two of them, testing the environment and their ability to survive it. they'd stay up late and talk about their plans for future expeditions, invent new and improved polar equipment like tents better designed to withstand squalls, share wild fantasies on how to make the world a better place. they trusted each other implicitly. and towards the ends of their lives, amundsen made the trip from norway to a kansas penitentiary to greet his old friend. cook, an unreliable narrator in his later career, would later describe how amundsen sat next to him in his cell, clasped his hand, and never let go for the several hours they conversed, reminiscing on their time on the ice together. whether that physical contact happened or not is up to debate. but even if it didn't happen, how telling is it that cook would claim such an intimacy in his published memoirs? how badly must he have wanted the world to know the tenderness of his relationship to this man? anyways please read this book and help me petition someone to make the belgica expedition its own show so i can watch amundsen and cook be besties in the harrowing antarctic winter with their adopted penguin bebe

[amundsenxcook]

amundsen didnt take doctors on his expeditions after the belgica. which could mean nothing
