Roald Amundsen was a noted Norwegian explorer.
He was aboard the Belgica, the first vessel to winter-over in Antarctica, in 1899.
He led the team to be first to navigate the Northern Passage between Greenland and Alaska. As well,
he planned to be the first to stand at the North Pole, but having been beaten by Frederick Cook and Robert Peary, he altered his plans to make for the South Pole.
He set out for Antarctica in 1910, and became the first to reach the South Pole on 14 December 1911, beating British explorer Robert Falcon Scott.
Depending on the source you query, he may be best known for his exploratory expeditions where he successfully navigated the Northwest passage; he led the team that first set foot at the South Pole, and was the first explorer known to have stood at both the South and North poles.
After arriving at the pole, Amundsen and his team established a camp and they spent about a week surveying the area. They used sextants and theodolites to confirm their location at 90 degrees S. As well, they erected a tent at that spot, hoisted a Norwegian flag on a pole, and left a note inside the tent, detailing where anyone finding the tent could locate the Amundsen team's camp nearby.
He was a member of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897-99). This expedition, led by Adrien de Gerlache using the ship the Belgica, became the first expedition to winter in Antarctica.
