Wanneer is iemand een held? Moet hij of zij van onbesproken gedrag zijn, of is juist een smet op het blazoen wat iemand echt uit tilt boven de middelmaat? Vandaag gaan we in op het leven van Frederick Cook, de scheepsarts die de levens redde van bijna alle deelnemers aan de eerste overwintering op Antarctica, op het schip de Belgica in 1897. Uitvinder van de lichttherapie en bedenker van een adequaat middel tegen scheurbuik: rauwe pinguïn. Hij vormde een hecht team met Roald Amundsen, maar sloeg na zijn terugkeer een beetje door. Inmiddels was hij tweevoudig weduwnaar en kon niet goed aarden in de stad. Hij claimde de berg Denali te hebben beklommen en op de geografische Noordpool te zijn geweest, en dat is allebei niet waar. Daarna zette hij een piramidespel op en waande zich even succesvol oliebaron. Zijn laatste jaren sleet hij goeddeels in de nor als arts-gevangene. Dit slag mensen tref je niet vaak aan.

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. If you're a fan of intrepid explorers, mysterious historical disappearances and the history of scientific advancement, you'll love our episode on Arctic Exploration.If you want more from Dr Vanessa Heggie, check out our episode on Victorian Bodybuilding.

In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit Pia Lehmann, unserer Kollegin bei Eisexpeditionen.de, über ihre Erlebnisse in der Antarktis auf unserer Expeditionsgruppenreise mit HX Expeditions. Im Januar begleitete Pia unsere Gäste an Bord der MS Roald Amundsen auf einer unvergesslichen Reise über den südlichen Polarkreis – ein echtes Abenteuer, das mit einer Übernachtung im Eis seinen Höhepunkt fand.Wir erfahren von Pia, wie sie die Antarktis nicht nur als Expeditionsexpertin, sondern auch als Gast erlebt hat. Sie gibt uns spannende Einblicke, warum auch ein Schiff mit maximal 500 Gästen ein intensives und exklusives Expeditionserlebnis ermöglicht und wie HX Expeditions es schafft, diese Reise zu einem echten Abenteuer zu machen.Ob Zodiac-Ausfahrten, hautnahe Begegnungen mit der Tierwelt oder die unvergessliche Erfahrung, eine Nacht unter dem endlosen Himmel der Antarktis zu verbringen – Pia teilt ihre Highlights und gibt ihre persönliche Einschätzung zu dieser einzigartigen Expedition.

Vor 90 Jahren - im Februar 1935 - betrat die gebürtige Dänin Caroline Mikkelsen als erste Frau antarktisches Land. Seitdem erobern immer mehr Frauen das ewige Eis. Roald Amundsen, Robert Falcon Scott oder Ernest Shackleton – die Liste der Entdecker und Wissenschaftler, der berühmten Polarforscher ist lang und beeindruckend. Vor allem in den ersten Jahren der Antarktis-Entdeckung waren es Männer. Heute sind Frauen auf Forschungsstationen am Südpol längst normal. Wir sprechen u.a. mit Teilnehmerinnen der ersten reinen Frauen-Überwinterung auf der Georg-Neumayer-Station. Eine Wissenschafts-Fotografin erzählt über die Faszination der Polarregionen. Eine junge Hamburgerin will zu Fuß durch die Antarktis. Sie erzählt über ihre Motivation und die Vorbereitungen für die Expedition. Jetzt reinhören und eintauchen in eine spannende Welt und ihre Entdeckerinnen. Moderation: Anja Grigoleit

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.

Dans cet épisode d'« Une Date, Une Histoire », Philippe Legrand et Bernard Werber reviennent sur la découverte du Pôle Sud par Roald Amundsen en décembre 1911, marquant la fin des grandes explorations. Amundsen a affronté des conditions extrêmes pour devenir le premier à atteindre ce point. Werber décrit ce "paradis blanc" peuplé de manchots et l'importance de cette découverte pour la cartographie du monde. Il évoque aussi son dernier roman, "La Valse des Âmes", et son spectacle "VIE - Voyage Intérieur Expérimental", un voyage initiatique.Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.

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.

In contrast to Scott's South Pole expedition, Amundsen's expedition benefited from good equipment, appropriate clothing, and a fundamentally different primary task (Amundsen did no surveying on his route south and is known to have taken only two photographs). Amundsen had a better understanding of dogs and their handling, and he used of skis more effectively. He pioneered an entirely new route to the Pole, and they returned. In Amundsen's own words: "Victory awaits him who has everything in order -- luck, people call it. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time; this is called bad luck." Short accounts by other members of the party are appended.

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.

I 1912 bliver den norske polarforsker Roald Amundsen og hans folk den første ekspedition, der når til Sydpolen. Det gør han lige for næsen af sin engelske konkurrent, Robert Falcon Scott, som ikke alene taber kapløbet, men også mister livet i isørkenens ubarmhjertige kulde. Siden har adskillige eventyrere trådt i Amundsens fodspor, og i denne uge vil endnu en gøre forsøget. Bjergbestigeren Rasmus Kragh ønsker at blive den første dansker, der når ind til Sydpolen på egen hånd. Han har hjælp fra moderne overlevelsesudstyr, men det er stadig livsfarligt at begive sig ud på den øde is. I dagens afsnit fortæller Politikens videnskabsredaktør Lasse Foghsgaard om de mænd og kvinder, der igennem tiden har fulgt en drøm, de håber på at finde i mødet med Sydpolen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

durée : 00:58:38 - Le Cours de l'histoire - par : Xavier Mauduit, Maïwenn Guiziou, Jeanne Coppey - En 1926, Roald Amundsen survole pour la première fois le pôle Nord avec son dirigeable, les territoires polaires ne sont pas inconnus du grand public. Voilà longtemps déjà qu'ils fascinent, inspirent la crainte et attisent la curiosité pour des contrées lointaines, glaciales et inhospitalières. - réalisation : Thomas Beau - invités : Annie Bourguignon Scandinaviste et germaniste, chercheuse au Centre d'Études Germanique Interculturelles de Lorraine; Alain Guyot Professeur de littérature française du XIXe siècle à l'Université de Lorraine; Fabienne Queyroux Conservatrice générale, adjointe au directeur de la bibliothèque de l'Arsenal

Hvis man siger “Terra Nova ekspeditionen” er det formentlig de færreste der ved, hvad det var for en. Men hvis man siger Robert Falcon Scotts ekspedition til Antarktis for at prøve at blive de første til at nå Sydpolen - og hvis man i samme åndedrag nævner Roald Amundsen og det verdensberømte “kapløb om Sydpolen”, så er der nok flere, der nikker genkendende.Dagens afsnit indeholder alt det, som vi der elsker ekspeditionshistorie, bliver så fascinerede af: stærke kammeratskaber, heroiske beretninger og heltemodige hovedpersoner, kolossale strabadser i et ugæstfrit, barskt og endnu ikke kortlagt land. Historien indeholder også nationernes kamp om at komme først, store egoer og rivalisering, Alt sammen, fordi fristelsen var for stor: At blive den første til at Sydpolen og dermed hædre nationen og ikke mindst - udødeliggøre sig selv!Medvirkende: Gregers Gjersøe, medlem af Eventyrernes Klub og en erfaren ekspeditionsmand. Gergers er guide i Grønland for Albatros og stifter af Non Profit organisationen Polarskolen.dk, hvor han underviser på danske folkeskoler om Grønland og Færøerne og så har han stor kendskab til Robert Falcon Scott, da han sammen med Kristian Joos i 2000 - som de første danskere - nåede Sydpolen under en to måneder lang tur på ski med pulk.

Hear about cruising the waters of Alaska and British Columbia as the Amateur Traveler talks to Susan Portnoy about her recent experience on a Hurtigruten expedition ship. Why should you do this cruise? Susan says, "I think it's not going to be for everybody. It is a long journey. It's 18 days. That is music to my heart, but may not be for everyone. But it's also more intrepid. It's not the kind of trip where you've got a lot of boardwalks and stores and places to hang out, which you might do and have in Juneau or Haines. We went to uninhabited islands. One was, for example, St. Matthews, which belongs to Alaska. Very few people know that. And more people have climbed Everest than been on St. Matthews." Adventure Cruise from Nome, Alaska to Vancouver: A Day-by-Day Journey Susan Portnoy recently embarked on an unforgettable Hurtigruten expedition cruise from the remote town of Nome, Alaska, to Vancouver, Canada. This 18-day journey was perfect for those seeking adventure, wildlife, and a deeper connection with nature and culture. Here's a day-by-day breakdown of this remarkable voyage: DAY 1: The Expedition Began The adventure started in Nome, Alaska. After flying into Anchorage and boarding a charter flight to Nome, everyone embarked on the MS Roald Amundsen. This expedition class ship can hold up to 500 passengers. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/alaska-cruise/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
