Norwegian polar researcher, who was the first to reach the South Pole
POPULARITY
In 1910 two teams raced to be the first to the South Pole. One was led by the Norwegian adventurer Roald Amundsen and the other by British naval officer, Captain Robert Falcon Scott. Amundsen would beat Scott to the Pole by about four weeks, only for the latter to perish with his team on their return journey. But what of the women they left behind? Author Katherine MacInnes first told their story in her book Snow Widows but a trip to Antarctica this month has revealed even more. Katherine talks to Mihingarangi about the harshness not just of the climate - but of the times - and New Zealand's links to an expedition that has been compared with the race to the moon.
Det har blitt sluppet en pressemelding… Vegard skal date. Etter 30 år skal det tas drastiske grep og vi er nødt til å snakke om det. Hva er han ute etter? Må Vegards fremtidige mann eie Amundsen-klær, like å se på femmila og kle seg i Arcteryx? Og hvordan hadde Vegard vært som kjæreste? Morten nøster opp i alt - en gang for alle. Vil du eller kjenner du noen som burde date Vegard? Send en mail: tilvegard@sandcasting.no! Produsert av Ingrid Alice Mortensen
Bier, Stimme & Gesundheit Die Episode beginnt charakteristisch mit einer Bierverkostung: Flensburger Winterbock in der 2-Liter-Flasche versus alkoholfreies Hazy IPA von Amundsen. Gordian leidet schon länger unter Heiserkeit. Diese gesundheitliche Unsicherheit wird zum persönlichen Anker für eine größere Diskussion über medizinische Datenerhebung. Die Nationale Kohorte: Wissenschaft trifft Statistik Ein faszinierender Zufall: Beide Moderatoren sind Teilnehmer der Nationalen Kohorte (NAKO) – einer Langzeitstudie mit 30.000 Bürger:innen in Deutschland, die körperliche Werte, kognitive Tests und sozialen Status erfasst. Gordian schildert die Tests anekdotisch: das Merken von zwölf Wörtern (fast wie bei Donald Trump's berüchtigtem Cognitive Exam), das rückwärtige Aufsagen von Zahlenkombinationen. Doch hier liegt das Kernproblem: Die Statistik erfasst zwar Schulabschluss der Eltern, nicht aber Berufsabschluss. Jans Vater war Ingenieur, starb aber früh. Sein Stiefvater hatte keinen akademischen Abschluss – doch die Statistik zählt ihn als Kind aus einem „Akademiker-Haushalt", obwohl er vielmehr in einer Arbeiterfamilie aufwuchs. Eine der Grenze der Statistiken. Handwerk vs. Akademiker: Ein Paradigmenwechsel Dies führt zu einer zentralen These: Handwerksmeister verdienen heute oft mehr als Akademiker. Nicht wegen elitärer Positionen, sondern wegen Knappheit – es gibt Millionen Studienabsolventen, aber zu wenige Meister. Ein Meister kann seinen eigenen Betrieb führen, ausbilden, verhandelt von einer Position der Stärke. Generische Akademiker prügeln sich um wenige Jobs. Die Diskussion deckt auf, wie deutsche Statistik und gesellschaftliche Wahrnehmung nach Herkunft, nicht nach Leistung unterscheiden. Anders als in Frankreich, England oder USA mit ihren Ivy League Schools, wo Dynastien transparent dominieren, fungiert deutsche Bildungsstatistik als unsichtbarer Klassifizierer. Meisterbrief wird gleichgesetzt mit handwerklicher Beschränkung, obwohl ein Meister heute oft mehr verdient und entscheidet als ein studierter Projektmanager. Philosophie & Diskursanalyse: Die Kritik an der Schwachstelle Am Ende der Episode wendet sich die Diskussion zur Diskursanalyse – einer Denkschule, die Jan bedauert. Sie ist „demokratisch" geworden (alle können mitmachen) und dadurch schwach. Jan berichtet von einem Interview des Journalisten Tilo Jung (Jung & Naiv) mit Maximilian Krah (AfD), in dem Krah die „Übernahme durch Diskursanalyse" bedauert. Hier zeigt sich eine Gefahr: Man kann mit Menschen, deren Haltung man ansonsten ablehnt, eine gemeinsame Abneigung oder Vorliebe haben. In dieser Episode erfährst du: - Der statistische Fehler: Warum die Nationale Kohorte Jans Arbeiterkind-Hintergrund als „Akademiker-Haushalt" klassifiziert – und was das über deutsche Statistik aussagt. - Handwerk schlägt Akademiker: Warum ein Meister heute oft bessere Chancen und höhere Einkommen hat als viele Universitätsabsolventen – und warum das deutsche Klassenbewusstsein das nicht sieht. - Bierverkostung mit Tiefgang: Wie der Geschmack eines Winterbocks sich mit Temperatur entwickelt und warum alkoholfreie IPAs unterschätzt sind. - Philosophische Warnung: Wie die Diskursanalyse als denkerische Mode zum Problem werden kann – wenn alles nur noch Konstruktion ist und nichts mehr evident.

But ice has been on my mind of late, and I thought I'd share. This week we'll cover climate change from a Biblical perspective; one of my favorite books of 2025 and what it tells us about human resiliency; one of the most overused metaphors in the natural world – one that somehow has escaped my attention here so far; and the quest to finish first or die trying in the only race that matters.Check out Hal on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@halhammons9705Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas.

Norwegian filmmaker Audun Amundsen, director of Click the Link Below, which premiered at Doc Edge in Auckland, follows online gurus like Akbar Sheikh and Tai Lopez to show how engagement algorithms reward extremes and blur value with hype. Audun traces an unlikely path from renewable energy engineer and backpacker to documentarian, surviving a stroke at 23 before returning to Indonesia that resulted in his previous documentary Newtopia, a 15-year chronicle of a community's shift from barter to money, with a focus on human nature over gloss. He also cites his earlier feature Help! I've Gone Viral, plus inspirations like Juan Carlos Rulfo's In the Pit and Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Audun champions smart self-distribution, keeping VOD rights and building film funnels, and urges filmmakers to research financial backers, lead with value, and market your film as thoughtfully as you shoot.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

Es gibt Erfindungen, die uns so selbstverständlich sind, dass wir kaum mehr ermessen können, welchen Gewinn an Lebensqualität sie bedeuteten, als sie tatsächlich neu waren. Das Faltboot ist so ein Fall. Einfach per pedes einen Ausflug zu machen und dann auf den Wasserweg zu wechseln, wurde erst möglich, als ein entsprechendes Patent 1907 bei Johann Klepper in Rosenheim in Serienproduktion ging. Zunächst eher in oberbayerischen Wildwassern gebräuchlich, war es bis 1925 auch in Norddeutschland populär geworden, weshalb ihm die Schiffbeker Zeitung vom 16. Mai eine kleine Ode sang. Für uns intoniert wird diese von Rosa Leu.

Dagens hovedperson er den legendariske skibskok Adolf Henrik Lindstrøm, der så det som sit kald at forsyne de store polarekspeditioner med god og varieret mad, cognac og fremfor alt pandekager med rigeligt smør i al slags vejr. Han blev opdaget af den norske nationalhelt Roald Amundsen, der sagde om kokken: “Ingen mand har været vigtigere i norsk polar ekspeditionshistorie end Lindstrøm”.Men hvad var det, der gjorde Lindstrøm så uundværlig og vellidt, at han blev rost til skyerne af selveste Amundsen? Og hvad var det, der skete undervejs på den 2. Fram Ekspedition, da gnisterne slog mellem ekspeditionslederen og Lindstrøm?Medvirkende: Troels Matz, har i mange år arbejdet i den danske outdoorbranche, og har stor kærlighed til den nordiske fjeldverden. Troels har i flere år kørt med hunde i svenske Jämtland, har stor viden om norsk ekspeditionshistorie og er aktuel med podcasten “Fanget på Flue”.

Martin Gutmann is an expert on the history of business and has written extensively about styles of past leaders. In this episode, he shares his thoughts on everything from today's political climate, to whether he thinks Ernest Shackleton is overrated (spoiler alert – he does), to the underrated excellence of less well-known figures in history. Chapters: 02:27 Meet Martin Gutmann Bill welcomes Martin Gutmann to the podcast, exploring his diverse background and extensive experience in various countries. Martin shares how his journey has shaped his understanding of different cultures and leadership. 04:24 The Role of History in Leadership Martin discusses how historical insights can inform contemporary challenges, particularly in leadership and management. He emphasizes the necessity of understanding history to navigate present issues effectively. 07:06 Lessons from the Past The conversation shifts to how past solutions have created today's problems, with Martin referencing the Industrial Revolution and its consequences. He highlights the importance of learning from history to find modern solutions. 10:11 The Optimism of Youth Bill and Martin reflect on the idealism of younger generations regarding climate change and sustainability. They discuss how engaging with young people can inspire hope for the future. 14:02 The Qualities of Great Leaders Martin shares insights on the characteristics of effective leaders, emphasizing their ability to envision possibilities that others cannot see. He contrasts this with the qualities of less favorable leaders. 16:11 Reevaluating Historical Figures The discussion turns to notable historical figures, with Martin expressing a preference for lesser-known leaders who have made significant impacts. He critiques the common narratives surrounding famous leaders like Thomas Jefferson. 20:04 Unseen Leaders and Their Impact Martin elaborates on the contributions of unseen leaders, using the example of Vasily Archipov during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He illustrates how individual actions can alter the course of history. 27:01 Churchill: The Crisis Manager Explore Winston Churchill's complex legacy as a leader during World War II, where he was thrust into a crisis not of his making. This chapter delves into the nuances of his leadership style, contrasting crisis management with the ability to foresee and avoid crises. 35:12 The Unseen Leader: Shackleton vs. Amundsen Martin Gutmann discusses the concept of the ‘unseen leader' through the lens of explorers Shackleton and Amundsen. While Shackleton's dramatic story captivates audiences, Amundsen's meticulous planning and authentic leadership provide deeper lessons in effective leadership. 42:55 The Challenge of Leadership in Media In this chapter, the conversation shifts to the media's portrayal of leadership, emphasizing how crises and scandals often overshadow the quiet, effective leaders. Martin and Bill reflect on the disparity between public admiration for dramatic leaders versus those who exemplify humility and competence. 46:26 A Global Perspective on Leadership Martin shares his insights on the political climate in Europe and how it resonates with the current events in the U.S. He discusses the resilience of democratic institutions and the importance of good leadership amidst rising concerns about political extremism. 50:01 Optimism in the Next Generation Ending on a hopeful note, Martin reflects on the optimism he sees in younger generations, highlighting their ability to dream big without the constraints of cynicism. This chapter underscores the importance of nurturing this optimism as a counterbalance to the challenges faced in today's world.

En 1911, el explorador Roald Amundsen lideró con éxito la primera expedición en llegar al Polo Sur. Su equipo enfrentó temperaturas extremas, tormentas implacables y desafíos que parecían insuperables. Sin embargo, su preparación, perseverancia y confianza en su estrategia lo llevaron a la victoria. En contraste, otro explorador, Robert Falcon Scott, intentó la misma hazaña sin la misma planificación y, lamentablemente, su equipo pereció en el intento. Así como Amundsen no permitió que las dificultades lo detuvieran, la Biblia está llena de historias de hombres y mujeres que enfrentaron adversidades pero perseveraron en Dios. José soportó años de esclavitud y prisión antes de ser gobernador de Egipto. Daniel fue arrojado al foso de los leones, pero su fe lo sostuvo. La victoria no siempre es inmediata, pero aquellos que confían en Dios y siguen adelante con determinación ven Su mano obrar.Si hoy enfrentas un desafío que parece imposible, recuerda que Dios te ha equipado para superarlo. Confía en que Él está contigo y usará cada dificultad para fortalecerte. La Biblia dice en Romanos 8:28:“Y sabemos que a los que aman a Dios, todas las cosas les ayudan a bien” (RV1960).

This episode is also available on YouTube. Roald Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer renowned for being the first to reach the South Pole on December 14, 1911, beating Robert Falcon Scott's British expedition. A skilled navigator and leader, he used innovative techniques learned from the Inuit, such as dog sledding and wearing fur clothing, to survive in extreme polar conditions. Amundsen also led the first successful navigation of the Northwest Passage in 1906 and later became the first confirmed person to reach the North Pole by airship in 1926. He tragically disappeared in 1928 during a rescue mission in the Arctic. Written, edited, and produced by Rich Napolitano. Original theme music by Sean Sigfried.

Exploraciones, misterios y el eterno día de la AntártidaEn este episodio de El Siglo 21 es Hoy, te llevamos al corazón de la Antártida durante el verano austral, cuando el Sol nunca se oculta. A través de relatos fascinantes y hechos históricos, exploramos el fenómeno del Sol de medianoche y su impacto en el mundo natural, la ciencia y las grandes expediciones polares.➜ All music used in this episode is licensed under Audiio and Creative Commons licenses.Descubre cómo la inclinación de 23,5 grados del eje terrestre genera este espectáculo único en las regiones polares y cómo afecta la vida silvestre, como los pingüinos emperador y las focas de Weddell, que aprovechan la claridad para cazar bajo el hielo. También hablamos de los científicos que trabajan en las estaciones antárticas, enfrentando alteraciones en su ritmo circadiano y el desafío de mantener horarios artificiales en un lugar donde el tiempo parece congelarse.Si quieres ver el video corto del Timelapse que hizo Dave McKeegan en la Antártida, mostrando el sol durante 24 horas en unos pocos segundos, lo encuentras en YouTube.Pero esto no es solo ciencia: viajamos al pasado para revivir las grandes expediciones antárticas. Desde la audaz travesía de Roald Amundsen en 1911, que lo convirtió en el primer hombre en alcanzar el Polo Sur, hasta la epopeya de supervivencia de Ernest Shackleton y su tripulación, quienes desafiaron los límites humanos para llegar a la isla Georgia del Sur tras el hundimiento del Endurance. Incluso exploramos las historias modernas, como la expedición de terraplanistas en 2024, que viajaron al continente blanco para desafiar sus propias creencias frente al Sol de 24 horas.Con una narrativa inmersiva y datos científicos sólidos, este episodio promete responder preguntas clave: ¿qué ocurre en las fechas opuestas en el Polo Norte? ¿Cómo influye el Sol de medianoche en el clima, la navegación y las teorías conspirativas? Y sobre todo, ¿por qué el frío y el aislamiento de la Antártida siguen siendo el escenario perfecto para la curiosidad humana?Adéntrate en un viaje entre la luz eterna y la oscuridad infinita.

In 1910, Roald Amundsen and the Fram set off on what the world thought was an expedition to the Arctic. Instead, Amundsen sailed to Antarctica - his intention to make a run at the South Pole. It would set up a dramatic (and tragic) race for the pole with British explorers Robert Falcon Scott. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

“In that instant they felt an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment. Though they had failed dismally even to come close to the expedition's original objective, they knew now that somehow they had done much, much more than ever they set out to do.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! If you love exploration books as much as we do, you'll definitely enjoy this episode. Today, we're talking about Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing. Join us as we explore Shackleton's legendary expedition, where a crew of 28 men faced nearly two years of extreme conditions after their ship became trapped in ice. We cover a wide range of topics including: How Shackleton's leadership prevented descent into madness Physical vs. mental challenges in extreme survival situations Were previous generations tougher than we are today? Antarctic exploration's parallels to modern space missions The life-or-death decisions in the final rescue attempt And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

We begin the episode with a tangent on our favorite blender, health insurance plans, and protein powder. (5:44) We begin our discussion of Endurance by Alfred Lansing. Nat shares a unique perspective, having read the book during his own trip to Antarctica. (09:15) The timeline of Shackleton's expedition spanned from August 1914 to September 1916, marking nearly two years of survival against impossible odds. Later on, Shackleton would help rescue another stranded crew in January 1917. (11:16) Endurance draws from the crew's journal entries, a common practice during the age of exploration when survival wasn't guaranteed. We discuss how these historical records parallel potential Mars missions in the future. (13:46) We explore current Mars exploration initiatives across the globe. China aims for a sample return mission by 2030, SpaceX targets 2028 for their missions, and India continues to advance their rover program. (18:01) The core of Shackleton's story unfolds: an attempted Antarctic crossing, leading to a two-year fight for survival. Despite the world presuming them dead, every crew member survived, with many later serving in World War I, highlighting their extraordinary resilience. (22:11) "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success." Shackleton's legendary recruitment advertisement exemplified his unique approach to crew selection. Nat, Neil, and Adil also discuss whether the people of previous generations were tougher than we are today. (30:30) Shifting the conversation to growing up in the pre-Internet era. We reminisce about outdoor adventures, early video games, and how different forms of entertainment shaped our imaginations compared to today. (35:54) The physical hardships endured by the crew were severe, with frostbite being a constant threat. Shackleton's leadership proved crucial, maintaining strict schedules and discipline to prevent the crew from succumbing to despair during their long wait trapped in ice. (39:26) We draw parallels between Shackleton's earlier failures and the Apollo 13 mission. (42:41) The type of ship they chose for the journey actually had a huge impact on the outcome. Its specific shape made it vulnerable to being trapped within the large blocks of ice. (46:31) National parks and the preservation of nature. There are very few places left in the country where there is no light pollution at all. (49:43) After a year on the ship and another camping on ice, they modified their lifeboats for a perilous journey to Elephant Island. Shackleton's team then faced the task of scaling mountains without proper gear and navigating treacherous waters. (55:12) Nat, Neil, and Adil debate whether the physical or mental challenges were the most difficult to overcome in this expedition. Would you rather have been on the boat with Shackleton, or waiting for the boat to return for rescue? (1:01:32) The book itself has an interesting publishing history. Though it achieved only modest sales during Lansing's lifetime, it found massive success about a decade after his death. (1:07:49) We reflect on a few other books we've read on energy. If you have any recommendations, send them our way! (1:13:07) A discussion about current political leadership's understanding of technology and its implications for policy decisions. (1:20:55) The 'Make American Healthy Again' efforts, healthcare system incentives, and potential future programs in the U.S. What is to come under the new administration? (1:24:59) It wouldn't be an episode of MYT without a little crypto and meme coin talk! (1:34:58) That concludes this episode!
