I am a simple creature with dumb seratonin-based needs. Reading about Framheim* makes me so happy… like the details of Amundsen’s men overhauling their equipment and digging snow tunnels, the cleverly designed breaks in routine and the fact they built a fucking sauna. The fact that Olav Bjaaland randomly decided to build a violin until he realise that building a violin is quite difficult. Humans are so strange and awesome.

Friday 15 Dec. 90° We reached the South Pole at 2.30 today, tired and hungry, thank God we have enough food for the return journey. So now we have attained the goal of our desires, and the great thing is that we are here as the first men, no English flag is flying, but a three-coloured Norwegian. [...] Here it's as flat as the lake at Morgedal and the skiing is good.

110 évvel ezelőtt ezen a napon lépett először ember a Déli-sarkra. Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) norvég sarkkutató, felfedező és négy társa (Olav Bjaaland, Helmer Hanssen, Sverre Hassel és Oscar Wisting) 1911 december 14-én csaknem egy hónapos erőltetett menettel, szinte esemény nélkül, könnyedén elérte a Déli-sarkot. Amundsen a sarkkutatás egyik legnagyobb alakja, pályája és teljesítménye egészen rendkívüli, egyedi és felülmúlhatatlan. Nemcsak a Déli-sarkot érte el szerencsésen, ő volt az aki 1903-ban Gjoa nevű hajóján sikeresen keresztülhajózott a legendás Északnyugati átjárón amit - főleg a britek -évszázadok óta kerestek. Amundsen nem tudott maradéktalanul örülni a sikerének, mert őt világéletében az Északi-sark tartotta bűvöletében. „Ehelyett ott találtam magam a Déli-Sarkon” – mondta később. Az Északi-sarkra  készülődés közben érte a hír hogy ezalatt Peary elérte az északi sarkot (1909 április 6). Ekkor döntött úgy hogy hogy a Déli-sarkra indul, ezt a tervét pedig titoban tartotta. Amundsen tudta hogy Scott csapata úton van az Antarktiszra, mégis elindult hódító útjára ami sikerült is neki, egy hónappal Scott előtt elérte a sarkot. Többek szerint ez a csalódottság is szerepet játszhatott Scott és négy társának halálában akik szintén elérték a sarkot 1912. január 17-én  de onnan sohasem tértek vissza. Amundsent élesen bírálták versengéséért, Scott pedig a lovagiasság, a hősiesség megtestesítője lett. Nem adta fel az Északi-sarkot. 1926-ban léghajón elrepült a sark fölött, amit légi úton valószínűleg ők tettek meg először. Végzete is itt érte. 1928-ban Umberto Nobile segítségére sietett akinek a léghajója lezuhant a sark felé menet. Amundsent senki nem látta többé. Személye a téma tudósai szerint megosztó volt de tettei felülmúlhatatlanok. A Déli-sarkon azóta sok dolog történt, Amundsenék sátra a Polheim már nem áll de Scott kunyhója ma is ott van minden felszerelésével  csaknem érintetlenül és portalanul.

MAR - 07 - (AÑO 1912) - UN DÍA COMO HOY – ROALD AMUNDSEN ANUNCIA EL DESCUBRIMIENTO DEL POLO SUR.

Roald Amundsen, nació en Borge, Noruega; el 16 de julio de 1872 y falleció en el mar de Barents; el 18 de junio de 1928, fue un explorador noruego de las regiones polares. Dirigió la expedición a la Antártida que por primera vez alcanzó el Polo Sur. También fue el primero en surcar el Paso del Noroeste, que unía el Atlántico con el Pacífico, y formó parte de la primera expedición aérea que sobrevoló el Polo Norte.

Contaba con una excelente formación marinera y una especial habilidad en las técnicas de supervivencia, aprendidas en parte de su experiencia en deportes invernales, en la vida de los esquimales y en las expediciones que le precedieron. En sus diferentes expediciones contó con un renombrado equipo en los campos de la navegación, del esquí, de la ingeniería aeronáutica y de la aviación. Amundsen desapareció el 18 de junio de 1928 mientras volaba en avión en el transcurso de una operación de rescate en el Ártico.

Tras su expedición al paso del noroeste, Amundsen planeó una expedición al polo norte, para lo que haría uso del Fram, el buque propiedad del gobierno noruego pero ideado y diseñado para la exploración polar por Fridtjof Nansen quien lo había utilizado en sus exploraciones árticas. Tras tener noticias de que Robert Peary se había adelantado en ser el primer hombre en el polo norte, Amundsen cambió sus planes, y decidió lanzarse a explorar el polo sur.

Amundsen no hizo público su cambio de planes de manera inmediata, ante la posibilidad de que Nansen se negase a prestar el Fram para el viaje antártico. Al enterarse Nansen, apoyó la expedición. Cuando llegó a la isla de Madeira, Amundsen envió por telegrama la noticia de su expedición a Robert Falcon Scott, otro explorador que pretendía alcanzar el polo sur y que sería su rival en esa carrera.

El 14 de enero de 1911 llegó el Fram a la plataforma de hielo de Ross, en el mar del mismo nombre. Allí ancló el navío en la Bahía de las Ballenas y Amundsen levantó su campamento, al que llamó Framheim. Scott, por su parte, se había establecido en MacMurdo Sound, 96 km más lejos del polo que Amundsen. Mientras los planes de Scott eran seguir la ruta de Ernest Shackleton por el glaciar Beardmore hasta la meseta Antártica, Amundsen pretendía crear su propia ruta, y decidió subir los montes Transantárticos hasta llegar a la meseta Antártica.

En febrero, marzo y abril de 1911, los expedicionarios colocaron puestos de avituallamiento en los paralelos 80°, 81° y 82° Sur en línea directa hacia el polo, una práctica que les permitiría probar las condiciones del lugar, así como el funcionamiento de los equipos. Durante el invierno, los expedicionarios se dedicaron a la mejora del equipo, en particular de los trineos. Olav Bjaaland logró disminuir significativamente el peso de los trineos. El 4 de febrero de 1911, una parte del equipo de Scott realizó una visita amistosa en barco al Framheim. jaimeariansen@outlook.com

there’s a chance I’m getting a bit too involved - just made a margin note “Goodsir would love that” about a description of penguins and glaciers by Olav Bjaaland on Amundsen’s South Pole expedition…
