Amundsen's passport - the polar hero's last journeys
Friday 6. Dec, 11:00 -
Bø
Roald Amundsen's last passport accompanied him on several journeys, but he left it behind before he set out on his very last journey. The passport is full of stamps and visas. Together with newly discovered photographs, letters and film clips, the story of Amundsen's last years is now being told. Actions and attitudes are revealed that change the legacy of both the polar hero and the people around him.
Anders Bache works at Roald Amundsen's home at Svartskog. Every day he surrounds himself with what remains of Amundsen, and for many years he has immersed himself in this collection. Amundsen's passport is the result of almost ten years of new discoveries and knowledge from chests, drawers, cupboards and archives that have been closed for many years.
