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.

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.

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.

Pourquoi les chiens sont-ils interdits en Antarctique ?

Choses à Savoir

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.

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.

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.

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.
