His first “first” as expedition leader was traversing Canada's Northwest Passage between 1903 and 1906 with six others in a 47-ton steel seal-hunting vessel, Gjøa. This was something explorers had been attempting since the days of Christopher Columbus, John Cabot, Jacques Cartier, and Henry Hudson.
He has the standard explorer expression but no beard, although he seems to have excessive chest hair.
His second “first” was reaching the South Pole. This he achieved between 1911 and 1912, arriving at the South Pole 35 days before Scott’s ill-fated group arrived on foot. Amundsen travelled with four others using 4 sledges and 52 dogs, many of which were killed for food.
In 1925, he achieved his third “first” of flying over the North Pole accompanied by five others using two Dornier Do J flying boats. He was also the first person to travel to both poles and his final “first” in 1926 was making the first crossing of the Arctic in airship “Norge” with fifteen other men.
Amundsen disappeared in 1928 while flying on a rescue mission looking for missing members of the crew of a crashed airship.
Can you lead your team to achieve as many “firsts” - without disappearing? You need to lead your team to beat all other teams in navigating the Northwest Passage, reaching the South Pole and crossing the Arctic.
