paperback. 2024 First Edition. 405pp, paperback, printed on high gloss quality paper, New. Flying over the Polar Regions was a long-time dream that involved balloons, airships and airplanes. Roald Amundsen was one of the early proponents of flying in these areas as the future means of both exploration and transport. Even before the South Pole Expedition in 1910, he had established a network of contacts in the Norwegian aviation community. Fifteen years later, in 1925, he was on his way towards the North Pole in a Dornier-Wal, a German flying boat manufactured in Italy. This is his personal diary from the expedition, published in English for the first time. The Polar Flight in 1925 is one of Roald Amundsen's most exciting expeditions, and it was considered a miracle that he and his crew returned alive. It is a treat to read Amundsen's day by day account, as the expedition members try to prepare the plane and the constantly moving and threatening ice for take off from 88° North. Also included is the first publication of the personal account of Heinrich Schulte-Frohlinde, who was leading Dornier's three-man team in Kings Bay, Ny-Ålesund. His description of the preparation of the polar flight and the weeks after the departure brings a new and interesting perspective on the expedition. The book is illustrated with more than 300 original photos. Glacier Books are experienced and professional booksellers. We take pride in offering carefully described books and excellent customer service.…

paperback. 2018 First Edition. 623pp, 624-1174pp, over 700 illusts, large format paperback on quality paper, New. Two Volumes, Vol I - 1900-1905, Vol II - 1905-1907. Signed by the editor, Geir Klover. Presenting Roald Amundsen s personal diaries in English from the Gjøa expedition was a big moment for the Fram Museum, but also an important contribution to the dissemination of Norwegian and international polar history. Amundsen writes with great enthusiasm about the enormous efforts he and his crew are making in dealing with scientific research and Amundsen s own studies of the Inuit. After reading the diaries we know so much about the expedition, about life aboard Gjøa and among the Inuit. Amundsen is generous in his descriptions of his comrades and treats all contact with, and all the information from, the inuit with great respect. In addition, he emerges as an unprecedented planner of an expedition through the Northwest Passage. After four hundred years of attempts to solve the puzzle of the Passage, his expedition took place exactly as he presented in his plan to the Norwegian Geographical Society in 1901, more than 18 months before his departure. These volumes are far more than a diary from Gjøa s journey through the Northwest Passage. The books cover a large portion of Roald Amundsen s life from 1900 to 1907. From Amundsen s own hand, included are his unabridged personal diaries from his studies on the Earth s magnetism in Hamburg in 1900, the takeover of Gjøa in Tromsø and the following hunting and research expedition in the Arctic in 1901. Furthermore, his personal letters to his brother Leon and his correspondence with his mentor Fridtjof Nansen are included, as are letters, newspaper clippings, and other documents related to the expedition, the celebration of the homecoming in 1906, and Amundsen s lecture tours at home and abroad.

Oslo, Norway : Fram Museum, 2011. Quarto, illustrated wrappers, pp. 142, illustrated. 'Cold Recall combines the complete texts of Roald Amundsen?s lectures about his expeditions through the Northwest Passage and the South Pole with the original hand-coloured lantern slides he used to illustrate his lectures. Together they offer a unique insight into how Amundsen presented his expeditions when face to face with an international audience. They also provide the first pictorial account of his successful unlocking of the Northwest Passage and the expedition to the South Pole. Roald Amundsen?s lecture tours and the money he made from publishing rights for his written accounts and expeditions photos were a very important source of income for both his own ? and the expeditions?- finances. In order to settle his accounts and fund further expeditions, Amundsen spent a great deal of time negotiating the tours and preparing the lectures. After the expedition to the South Pole, he held more than 175 lectures in Great Britain and the USA alone.' - the publisher.…
