lawyer, art collector, publisher and author. Today, he runs Oslobased

8. A. Gjøa
In 1903, Roald Amundsen set out with
a crew of six people on his 47-ton ship
Gjøa. His goal was to sail through the
Northwest Passage and around the
northern Canadian coast. In 1905, he
completed most of the passage, but
ice halted his progress at Herschel
Island in the Yukon. They resumed the
journey in August 1906.
Norway. But the mission was unsuccessful, and ended in tragedy
when two of her colleagues fell into a crevasse and one died.
After that, she started to write. Kristensen's novels about District
Governor of Svalbard Knut Fjeld are set in Svalbard-a place near
to her heart, where she once worked as a climate researcher. Her
stories are translated into 11 languages.
9. A. Børge Ousland
Børge Ousland was the first person to cross both poles on solo
expeditions: In 1994 he was the first man to complete a solo journey
to the North Pole, and in 1997 he became the first man
to cross the Antarctic unassisted. The Antarctic journey
covered 1,768 miles from the Ronne Ice Shelf to the
Ross Ice Shelf. Ousland continued to conquer daring
polar expeditions throughout his life. In 2007, he and
Thomas Ulrich followed in the footsteps of Fridtjof Nansen's
1895 expedition. They left the North Pole in May, crossed 1,000
kilometers of drifting ice, and reached the remote Eva-Liv Island.
They followed the historical route through the archipelago until
they reached Cape Flora, three months after leaving the North Pole.
10. D. She writes popular crime novels set in Svalbard.
Monica Kristensen is a Norwegian glaciologist, meteorologist,
explorer and author. Kristensen led several expeditions to the
South Pole in search of the tent once used by Roald Amundsen,
with the goal of displaying it at the 1994 Winter Olympics in
11. True
At age 33, Otto Sverdrup joined Nansen on his expedition to
cross Greenland on skis. They set off in July 1888. His
accomplishments on that journey led him to being
hired as captain of the Fram, which he helped
design. Sverdrup took a second journey on the
Fram in 1898 with the hopes of traveling as far
north as possible, up the east coast of Greenland.
They charted more than 250,000 square kilometers
near Ellesmere Island and collected scientific data.
12. D. Cambridge Bay
Amundsen set sail on Maud in the summer of 1918. His goal was to
get the ship stuck in the ice pack above the Bering Strait and drift
across the Arctic Ocean to the North Pole. But with the world in the
throes of World War I, traveling through the Atlantic was dangerous.
As a precaution, Amundsen and his crew opted for the Northeast
Passage instead, a route spanning the northern coast of Europe and
Russia. Conditions were rough, and it took three years for Maud to
reach Nome, Alaska. Instead of drifting all the way to the North Pole,
Maud needed extensive repairs in Seattle. By 1925, with his crew
and financial resources dwindling, Amundsen was forced to declare
bankruptcy and forfeit the ship to Hudson's Bay Company in
Canada. In 1930, the ship sank in the shallow waters of Cambridge
Bay, Nunavut, after developing a leak in the propeller axel.
