Peterson Great Explorer Brown Amundsen

Amundsen was one of the most successful explorers to have ever lived. He was born in Norway in 1872 and his original plan was to conquer the North Pole, but his plans changed when Peary succeeded before him. He then turned his attentions to the South Pole where there was already tough competition between Scott and Sheckleton. Amundsen was probably the most prepared explore with 97 Husky dogs. The expedition set off in August 1910 and it was the first to reach the South Pole an December 14th 1911 barely a month before Scott succeeded.
