Roald Amundsen, polar explorer. The man, the myth the legend. A heroic but polarizing figure in polar history, for sure, and one who flew mysteriously on a plane out of history. In view of his mystic disappearance, and the extreme circumstances under which Roald and his men lived, we get som much-needed input from polar explorer Børge Ousland.
