Amundsen’s 150th birthday. All at the Shackleton Museum extends our best wishes to Geir and Staff in the Fram Museum, the Amundsen family and all our friends in Norway. Another of history’s most celebrated explorers and a key figure in the Heroic Age of Exploration. Famous for navigating the North West Passage, the first to reach the South Pole and to take a transarctic flight across the North Pole.
