Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
A serendipitous discovery in 1986 by the widow of the great Norwegian explorer's nephew uncovered the glass "lantern slides" taken by Amundsen and his cohorts on Amundsen's three most important expeditions: through the Northwest Passage in 1903; the triumphant 1911 attainment of the South Pole; and along the Siberian Coast and through the North East Passage in 1918. The 100 photographs in this handsome book comprise a unique panorama of shipboard life, crews, natives, sled dogs, equipment, and the overland treks. There is a brisk, informative text. A blend of "immediacy, artlessness, and authenticity," comments Huntford. Recommended. Jerry Maioli, Western Lib. Network, Olympia, Wash.

5.0 out of 5 stars An extraordinary book, July 26, 1999
Rarely have I read and re-read a book with as much interest as this one. The pictures in the book was thought lost until re-discovered in a loft in Oslo in 1986. It provides an unusual insight into early polar exploration from both a pictoral and literary perspective

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Record of Exploration History, October 3, 1998
By A Customer
As opposed to all the badly written adventure fiction books of today, this is an excellent photographic record of Amundsen's adventures. It's a tribute to the man who was among the first to winter in the Antarctic, was the first to reach the South Pole, was the first to fly over the arctic ocean and the North Pole, and was killed while attempting to rescue another expedition that had crashed in the Arctic. A photographic tribute to a truely great man.
