Podcasts about Roald Amundsen

Dr. John Rae was a Scottish surgeon who became one of the most remarkable Arctic explorers of the 19th century, and one of its most unjustly forgotten. Between 1846 and 1854, Rae led four major Arctic expeditions, trekking, sailing, and canoeing more than 37,000 kilometres across some of the most unforgiving terrain on Earth. His discovery of Rae Strait proved to be the final link in a navigable Northwest Passage, which was successfully used by Roald Amundsen in 1903–06. But it was another discovery that would define, and destroy his legacy. In 1854, Rae encountered Inuit hunters who produced artefacts from the lost Franklin Expedition and revealed that the final survivors had been driven to cannibalism. When he brought this news back to Britain, Lady Jane Franklin and Charles Dickens launched a campaign slandering the Inuit as probable murderers, and Rae, as a result, became the only major British explorer of his day never to receive a knighthood. Unlike his peers, Rae was willing to adopt and learn the ways of indigenous Arctic peoples, which made him stand out as the foremost specialist of his time in cold-climate survival and travel, a quality that made him extraordinarily effective in the field, and deeply unpopular in the drawing rooms of Victorian England. In this episode of Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs, host Rich Napolitano tells the full story of Dr. John Rae: ship's surgeon, Arctic surveyor, Franklin expedition investigator, and one of history's most consequential figures hiding in plain sight.

Before anyone had ever stood at the bottom of the world, one man decided he wasn't going to discover the South Pole - he was going to win it. This week, Ben Thompson and guest Erik Slader of Epic Fails of History, dive into the ruthless, ice-cold brilliance of Roald Amundsen —the explorer who turned preparation into a weapon and left better-funded rivals frozen in his wake. From secretly pivoting his expedition plans to racing across Antarctica with dogs, skis, and terrifying efficiency, Amundsen didn't just survive the harshest environment on Earth—he dominated it. This is a story of precision, deception, and the kind of calculated risk that either makes you a legend… or leaves you buried under a mile of ice. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hva gjør en familiehund på Nordpolen? I denne episoden tar vi et dypdykk ned i fortellingen om Titina, den lille gatehunden fra Roma som for 100 år siden endte opp på ekspedisjon over Nordpolen, sammen med polfarer Roald Amundsen og den italienske ingeniøren Umberto Nobile. I episoden snakker vi om polarlitteratur og alternative polarfortellinger, om gamle helteidealer og moderne hundehold, og om hvordan det å la hunden være hovedperson i fortellingen om Titina gir et humoristisk perspektiv på polarheltene.Ingeborg Sivertsen Landfald snakker med filmregissør og animatør Kajsa Næss, om hennes kritikerroste tegnefilm Titina fra 2022. Ingeborg snakker også med Kristin Ørjasæter, professor emirita i barnelitteratur, som har forsket på Titina. I artikkelen  "En selskapshund på Nordpolen: Relasjonen mellom hund og polarhelt i to mediefremstillinger fra 2022 av terrieren Titina", publisert i tidsskriftet Barnboken, undersøker hun både tegnefilmen og barneboka Titina som ble publisert parallelt i 2022. Bøker vi nevner i episoden:Titina av Lars Mæhle og Emma McCannTragedien Umberto Nobile av Steinar AasOppover - Roald Amundsens spektakulære ferder av Bjørn OuslandDin ekspedisjon med Nansen av Bjørn OuslandTuren til Nordpolen av Tor Bomann-LarsenFridtjof og Hjalmar av Tor Bomann-LarsenOle Brumm av A.

I samlingarna finns kartor, fakturor och byggdelar till stugan på Snow Hill, där en oplanerad övervintring gav forskningstid. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. På våningarna i Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek ligger Otto Nordenskiölds personarkiv, fyllt av kartonger märkta Sydpolen, Grönland och Peru. Bland godbitarna finns loggboken från ångbarken Antarctic, med anteckningar som följde med när fartyget övergavs och senare krossades i Weddelhavets is 1903. Här finns också originalfakturan på den forskarstuga som fraktades i byggdelar och restes på Snow Hill, tänkt som bas för mätningar medan fartyget arbetade vidare i de okarterade haven.Dokumenten visar hur expeditionen 1901–1903 drogs in i oväntade isförhållanden, hur grupper hamnade på skilda platser och hur en vinter i provisoriska hyddor kom att prägla både människor och forskning. Telegram och brev speglar väntan hemma, tills argentinska örlogsfartyget Uruguay till sist nådde fram. I samlingarna finns även korrespondens med polarupptäckare som Roald Amundsen, Robert Falcon Scott och Ernest Shackleton, samt manus till ett tal i Göteborg 1908.Föreståndaren Anders Larsson pekar också på material om Nordenskiölds liv i Göteborg, från Geografiska föreningen till arbetet med den blivande Handelshögskolan och fredsengagemanget under första världskriget.

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.

Pensamos que ya lo sabemos todo sobre nuestro planeta y que, a estas alturas, nada puede sorprendernos. Estarás sorprendido al descubrir lo mucho que nos falta por aprender sobre nuestro planeta: empecemos con los 10 datos poco conocidos sobre la Tierra. Puede que sepas que le dicen "el planeta azul", pero ¿sabías que los científicos dicen que la Tierra originalmente era de otro color? ¿Que la Luna no es el único satélite de la Tierra? El campo magnético es vital para la Tierra porque protege al planeta del impacto de los vientos solares. Pensamos en el campo magnético de nuestro planeta como algo constante y estable, pero la verdad es que está cambiando. James Ross, un explorador y oficial naval británico, identificó el polo magnético norte por primera vez en 1831. En 1904, Roald Amundsen, un explorador de las regiones polares de Noruega, volvió a alcanzar el polo magnético norte y se sorprendió al descubrir que se había desplazado por 50 kilómetros desde el descubrimiento de Ross. La Tierra, a pesar de la creencia común, no es perfectamente redonda. Se parece más a una esfera aplastada. Por eso su masa es irregular y difiere en varios lugares, lo cual causa un "bamboleo" de la gravedad en diferentes áreas del planeta. Un cuerpo celeste más pequeño de 1200 kilómetros de ancho orbitó la Tierra como una segunda luna. Lo más probable es que luego terminó estrellándose en nuestro satélite principal. Los científicos tampoco descartan la probabilidad de que algún día la Tierra tenga otro satélite. Si se pudiera extraer todo este metal precioso, sería suficiente para cubrir toda la superficie del planeta en una capa de oro de 1 metro. Y si les diéramos a todos una pieza igual, cada uno de los habitantes de la Tierra obtendría 4 kilos de este tesoro. El magma que acecha bajo la superficie emite dióxido de carbono en las aguas de los lagos. Este dióxido de carbono se acumula en una gruesa capa en el fondo de los lagos hasta que la presión se acumula, y se libera en una explosión. Learn more about your ad choices.

Greg Jenner is joined by Dr Vanessa Heggie and comedian Stu Goldsmith to learn all about the perilous history of Arctic exploration.From the 15th to 20th Centuries, Europeans searched for the Northwest Passage, a supposed seaway between the Atlantic and Pacific through the Arctic Ocean. Indigenous groups had been traversing the passage for centuries, using small skin boats and dog sleds, but from 1497, European expeditions were launched to find and claim it. Most of these ended in failure, with explorers either returning home empty-handed or not returning at all. Some even got completely lost, arriving in Hawaii or North Carolina rather than Canada!In 1845, the most famous Arctic expedition, led by Sir John Franklin, was launched. Within a few months, his two ships, the Erebus and the Terror, with their crew of 129 souls, had vanished. It was not until 1906 that a Norwegian team, led by Roald Amundsen, finally navigated the passage. This episode explores the often fatal quest for the Northwest Passage, charting the various expeditions that tried and failed to find and traverse it, uncovering the men who lost their lives looking for it, and asking why Europeans were so keen to explore such a hostile region of the world. And we unravel the mystery of just what happened to John Franklin and his men out there on the ice.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

Roald Amundsens größter Triumph? Nicht das gewonnene Rennen zum Südpol - die Rückkehr vom dramatisch gescheiterten Nordpolflug am 15.6.1925: Ein Kampf ums Überleben im Eis. Von Martin Herzog.

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”.

Prepare to journey into the icy realms of Arctic and Antarctic exploration in this chilling episode of History Rage. Host Paul Bavill is joined by historian and author Mark Piesing, as they dive into the frosty depths of polar exploration history beyond the well-trodden tales of Scott and Shackleton. Mark, the author of "N4 Down: The Hunt for the Arctic Airship Italia," brings a fresh perspective on the lesser-known explorers who braved the harsh polar climates.Episode Highlights:- Mark Piesing's Journey: Mark shares his unconventional path to becoming a historian and his passion for uncovering overlooked stories in aviation and polar exploration.- The Overlooked Explorers: Discover the stories of Fridtjof Nansen, Elisha Kent Kane, and Louise Boyd, among others, who made significant contributions to polar exploration yet remain in the shadows of their British counterparts.- The Global Race to the Poles: Explore the motivations and challenges faced by explorers from various nations, including the Norwegians, Italians, and Russians, in their quests for polar glory.- The Role of Aviation: Delve into how aviation pioneers like Roald Amundsen transformed polar exploration, challenging the traditional narratives dominated by sledges and dog teams.- The Shackleton and Scott Obsession: Mark passionately critiques the overemphasis on Shackleton and Scott in British polar history, advocating for a broader recognition of international contributions.Join us for an eye-opening exploration of polar history that challenges the conventional narratives and highlights the diverse and daring figures who ventured into the unknown.

Indigenous groups had been traversing the passage for centuries, using small skin boats and dog sleds, but from 1497, European expeditions were launched to find and claim it. Most of these ended in failure, with explorers either returning home empty-handed or not returning at all. Some even got completely lost, arriving in Hawaii or North Carolina rather than Canada!In 1845, the most famous Arctic expedition, led by Sir John Franklin, was launched. Within a few months, his two ships, the Erebus and the Terror, with their crew of 129 souls, had vanished. It was not until 1906 that a Norwegian team, led by Roald Amundsen, finally navigated the passage. This episode explores the often fatal quest for the Northwest Passage, charting the various expeditions that tried and failed to find and traverse it, uncovering the men who lost their lives looking for it, and asking why Europeans were so keen to explore such a hostile region of the world. And we unravel the mystery of just what happened to John Franklin and his men out there on the ice.

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.

Les chiens sont interdits en Antarctique depuis 1994 en raison de préoccupations écologiques et sanitaires. Cette interdiction s'inscrit dans le cadre du Protocole de Madrid sur la protection de l'environnement en Antarctique, signé en 1991 par les pays membres du Traité sur l'Antarctique. Voici les raisons scientifiques et pratiques derrière cette décision. 1. Risque pour la faune localeL'Antarctique abrite une faune unique, notamment des phoques et des oiseaux marins comme les manchots. Ces espèces n'ont pas évolué pour se défendre contre des prédateurs terrestres comme les chiens. Si des chiens de traîneau venaient à s'échapper ou à être relâchés, ils pourraient devenir une menace pour ces animaux vulnérables. Les chiens pourraient les chasser, perturber leurs colonies ou introduire un stress dans leur environnement. 2. Propagation de maladiesLes chiens peuvent transmettre des maladies infectieuses à la faune antarctique. Un risque particulier est le morbillivirus des canidés, qui peut affecter gravement les phoques et d'autres mammifères marins. L'introduction de ces agents pathogènes, inexistants en Antarctique avant l'arrivée des humains et de leurs animaux, pourrait entraîner des épidémies dévastatrices dans des populations animales non immunisées. 3. Préservation d'un environnement viergeL'Antarctique est un environnement fragile et isolé, où les écosystèmes sont très sensibles aux perturbations extérieures. Les chiens, en tant qu'espèce introduite, pourraient modifier l'équilibre écologique, que ce soit par leur comportement ou par leur alimentation. Le Protocole de Madrid vise à minimiser l'impact humain sur ce continent, y compris en interdisant l'introduction d'espèces non indigènes. 4. Alternatives modernesHistoriquement, les chiens de traîneau étaient utilisés pour l'exploration et la logistique en Antarctique, comme par les expéditions de Roald Amundsen et d'Ernest Shackleton. Cependant, avec les avancées technologiques, les véhicules à moteur comme les motoneiges ont remplacé les chiens. Ces machines, bien que non exemptes d'impact écologique, réduisent les risques liés aux espèces introduites.L'interdiction des chiens en Antarctique reflète une volonté internationale de protéger cet environnement unique des pressions extérieures. En empêchant l'introduction d'espèces étrangères, comme les chiens, les scientifiques et les gouvernements cherchent à préserver la biodiversité antarctique, tout en limitant les risques sanitaires pour la faune indigène. Cette mesure s'inscrit dans une approche globale de conservation et de respect des écosystèmes polaires. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

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.
