Roald Amundsen has been on 4 explorations, they are to the Northwest
Passage, Northeast Passage, North Pole and the South Pole.
Roald traveled to the Northwest Passage using a ship called the Gjoa.
He went on this exploration in 1903.
First Amundsen wanted to got to the North Pole, But somebody already arrived there
first so he secretly switched plans and went to the South Pole.
Roald Amundsen traveled to the North Pole using a blimp, which people considered
not safe.
On 1918, Roald Amundsen traveled to the Northeast Passage using a ship called the
Maud.
Roald had planned to freeze the ship when it was traveling, but unfortunately the
polar ice was too thick that the whole ship froze and couldn’t be free.
Luckily Amundsen and his crew was saved and Roald Amundsen was able to go back
