Review: One of the Greatest Explorers - As a fan of Arctic exploration The Last Viking is one of the best books I have read on this topic. Stephen Brown has done an outstanding job of detailing the life of one of the great explorers of all time. When we think of Roald Amundsen we usually just think of his being the first to reach the South Pole. Brown goes much further and takes us through the life of this incredible man beginning with his early days and a step by step journey through his many adventures. What really made Amundsen such a great and successful explorer was his willingness to learn from others, to study, to read, and to prepare before launching into his journeys. His first great success was his trip on the Goja through the Northwest passage. In that experience he lived with and studied the Inuit People and gained great insight as to how to how they survived in such cold and harsh climates. With that knowledge, he successfully accomplished his goal of later reaching the South Pole. Amundsen was constantly on the go and lectured and traveled extensively as he loved to tell people about his travels. The author gives us a good insight into the total life of Amundsen beyond just his exploration epics. We find how he related others, not just those on his trips, but the general public who loved hearing him speak and relate his experiences. We learn a great deal about his final trip, a joint effort with the Italians in a dirigible from Spitzbergen across the North Pole to Alaska. Truly, this man was one of the greatest explorers in history. He accomplished all he set out to do. This book is well worth your time and I highly recommend it.
Review: Very interesting - Roald Amundsen and his competition with Scott for the South Poll is a fascinating story of exploration and survival in Antarctica. The book details Amundsen's early career looking up at Nansen and other arctic explorers and takes you through his first Belgian Antarctic expedition where he met Henry Cook. He then chronicles his arctic and antarctic trips, finding the Northwest passage, South Pole, and Northeast passage. The writing is very good and at times you feel like you are a long for the ride. The book is well researched and written. I enjoyed it so much I read two other books on Polar exploration which were not as well written as this one.
