In the Heroic Era of polar explorers, Raoul Amundsen is set apart as arguably the best. His vocation was exploring. He learned from Fridjof Nansen, a premier polar explorer of the north, who studied life and survival with native northern peoples. Amundsen understood equipment required for polar exploration and was a solid planner.

Amundsen was the first human to set foot at the South Pole, among his other accomplishments. After his success in Antarctica, he returned to 'civilization' and lectured for months, raising money to pay his expedition debts. This work continued until news of Scott's demise caught up with the world, in November 2012.
