This video is TOPS. The music combined with the detailed explanations had me riveted. This video is the BEST 6 minutes and 39 seconds I have spent ALL WEEK. Thank you!!
He used the knowledge he gained from the Inuit when he went to the South Pole. He basically did what the Inuit had taught him. Scott, as a more typical European, thought he could work it out for himself.
Amundsen also used his own native knowledge. Skiing with great skill (ski is incidentally a Norwegian word) when other expeditions mainly trusted the ridiculous snow shoes
@@perperson199 Amundsen was top-skilled in finding the BEST methods to achieve his goals. First, he was kind and RESPECTFUL of the inuit. He KNEW that they were SUPERB survivors in their own right. Roald A. deeply understood that everything that he learned from those skilled people would help him in his future. Robert Falcon Scott suffered from a form of the arrogance of 'privilege.' His very lack of humility and his arrogant assumption that all of his choices for Antarctic exploration were 'the best that could be had.' Was what sealed his doom. That plus the fact that he marked the cache that the Scott expedition needed to find on the return trip with only ONE FLAG. Amundsen marked his cache with it was either four or five tall flags stuck in the snow.
Amundsen had just 6 man crew in Gjoa. In exact opposite to Peary who stole the meteorite which was rare source of iron for inuits, Norwegians forged tools for inuits and hunted caribou for them with their rifles, in exchange of inuits guiding them on cartographing and chasing magnetic north pole. It was an doctorate exam for Amundsen, Hanssen and Lindström, who all rejoined couple years later to take south pole.
It certainly makes sense him being the one to claim the pole. You see, such people are not created by mere chance no matter how gifted a person is since they are only human.
Amundsen- Ingenious, independent, intrepid, and heroic. And yet, forever linked by deliberate misinformation campaign with one of history’s most pathetic, unworthy men.

Your work is worth appreciating... The bad part is background music which is distracting attention of patience listening...

What a badass!
Been to the Fram museum and was lucky to travel on the MV Norsel in 1992. Norway has been good to me. Greetings from Australia😅.
Noice. He also flew over the north pole!

The village which sprang out around Gjoa is still there with over 1000 people living there. Gjoa Haven.
Thank you!
Hard to believe this was the same man who made the historic journey to the South Pole in 1912.
