The hero of the book is the outstanding polar explorer Roald Amundsen. He was the only one who visited both poles of the Earth and circumnavigated the world in the waters of the Arctic Ocean. He traveled along the Northern Sea Route along the coast of Eurasia and was the first to overcome the Northwest Passage off the coast of North America. A brilliant organizer, on the way to the South Pole he unmistakably chose dog sleds and met the tight deadlines until difficulties weakened the participants of the trip. A figure of historical proportions, whose experience is used by polar explorers to this day. However, at the pinnacle of life, having achieved his goals, the hero felt a lack of understanding and experienced loneliness. Tur Bumann-Larsen tries to understand the reasons for this. In the life of a polar explorer, love does not go well with the Arctic. The author managed to show the broken destinies and life dramas behind Amundsen’s choice. The Norwegian historian created a vivid portrait of the famous polar explorer, whose image, while maintaining its greatness, for the first time appeared truly close and understandable.
