Roald Amundsen’s Own Words and Pictures Tour the U.S.

Last updated: 11/3/2011 // One hundred years after Roald Amundsen’s expedition to the South Pole, the Norwegian Embassy, in collaboration with the Norwegian Fram Museum in Oslo, brings the Cold Recall-exhibit to several exhibitors throughout the U.S.

The exhibit tells the story of Amundsen’s travel through the Northwest Passage and to the South Pole. Images and text were both used in the explorer’s own lectures and together they offer a unique insight into how he presented his expeditions to an international audience.

So make sure you do not miss out on Roald Amundsen’s own story. The exhibit is currently on view at MSP International Airport in Minnesota, but will soon be seen at Nordic Heritage Museum in Seattle.

Currently set dates and places of viewing are as follows:

October 1 – November 15: MSP International Airport, MN

December 9 – February 5, 2012: Nordic Heritage Museum, Seattle, WA
February 2012: Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, WA

April 2012: University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND
