What is Amundsen's ultimate dream?

19 10 On August 9th, Amundsen led the expedition to board the "Forward" research ship, left the port of Oslo, Norway, sailed from Fijul Bay to Skagraker Strait, and then entered the North Sea, and began their exploration journey.

The Norwegian people stood on the shore and bid them a warm farewell with great expectation. Before sailing, the king and queen also visited the ship, which greatly encouraged the expedition. Dr. Nansen also went to the dock to see him off, and watched his beloved "Forward" ship slowly sail out of the dock, with an indescribable sadness and taste in his heart. Will he see them and their beloved boat again?

Amundsen publicly announced that they would explore the Arctic. The route is to bypass South America, go north through the Pacific Ocean, cross the Bering Strait, enter the Arctic Ocean, and float to the North Pole.

Only four people on board, including Amundsen himself, knew that they were exploring the South Pole. 1910 On September 9, 2000, when Amundsen's ship arrived in the Portuguese Madeira Islands in the northwest of the Philippines, he still didn't explain his intention to the expedition members, and he still kept secret that he had changed the expedition site. But as soon as the ship crossed the equator, he announced his true intention to everyone. The destination of this expedition is the South Pole, not the North Pole. So far, no one has been to the South Pole, but the Arctic has consumed a lot of precious time because Amundsen applied for funds from the Norwegian government. In this process, Piri of the United States first reached the North Pole. If we still go to the North Pole, it will not be a great achievement, and the reputation of Norway's motherland will not be improved, because they are only the second group to arrive there.

Amundsen told the expedition members frankly, asking for their help and understanding, and said that if anyone wanted to quit, he would pay for their trip back to China.

Although everyone was shocked, no one left.

Amundsen sent a telegram to Melbourne,191012. British explorer Scott received a telegram from Norwegian explorer Amundsen: "Please allow me to report that I am going to the South Pole, too."

The pursuit of the honor of being the first to reach the South Pole has turned into a disturbing and dramatic competition. The whole world was surprised.

Dr. Nansen is a respected person in Norway. He was deeply shocked, but there was also a sense of injustice that Amundsen kept in the dark. For many years, he has always wanted to organize an Antarctic expedition. At this time, the boat was lent out. I thought it was going to the North Pole, but now I suddenly know it is going to the South Pole. Nathan is very cultured. He didn't complain about being cheated. He just said that if Amundsen told us in advance, I could help him in many ways.

Scott, an Englishman, wrote to Nansen, talking about his unhappiness and sadness, and didn't like Amundsen's mysterious departure.

In fact, there is a kind of fear and anxiety hidden in the heart of British explorer Scott. Amundsen was, after all, the first experienced explorer to open the Northwest Passage. It's no joke to meet such a strong enemy in the game. Besides, his country is an ancient kingdom, Amundsen's native Norway, but it has just been independent for five years. If Scott loses the game, he will be worried.

One of the members of Amundsen's expedition is Johnson, who sprinted to the North Pole with Nansen. After hearing Amundsen's announcement of changing his plan, he thought it was not an aboveboard approach. Why does he think so? Because he loves Nansen very much, he thinks it is a betrayal to keep secrets from Nansen, a great man. It's really unreasonable to cheat others by borrowing their boat. It is because of dissatisfaction that both he and Amundsen have a bad feeling in their hearts: something that has been infarcted. After the quarrel, Amundsen refused to let him sprint the South Pole with himself, which made Johnson regret for life.

Nevertheless, after Johnson returned to China, he still thought Amundsen was a great man, showing his noble qualities and upbringing. But in the end, he died of drunkenness and drunkenness. Johnson violated Amundsen's leadership. Perhaps Johnson should talk about Amundsen's shortcomings in planning and Amundsen's command mistakes. In order to avoid exploring failure in the cruel natural environment, the decentralization of leadership will lead to failure. But if Amundsen can point out the bad influence of Johnson's way and correct it, and still let this talented explorer sprint the South Pole with him, wouldn't it better reflect Amundsen's level and great mind? Unfortunately, history has not developed as beautifully as we thought.

Amundsen's mysterious way of announcing his destination halfway has received considerable criticism. But at that time, it was probably the only way. I didn't dare to risk publicly announcing this plan, for fear that Dr. Nansen wouldn't borrow the boat. He should tell Dr. Nansen. Nathan is a great man. He will lend it to him, and maybe even go to the South Pole with him. In Amundsen's mind, is there an idea that it is difficult for two men to coexist? Dr. Nansen's reputation is in full swing. If he reaches the South Pole and makes great achievements, Amundsen's light will hardly attract people's attention next to the bright moon.

Only Amundsen knows what he thinks, and anyone can only analyze and speculate, which cannot be confirmed.

Or Amundsen thought, don't risk being as brave as that stubborn little insect trying to get through the glass. Or with wisdom and patience, temporarily walk into a criticized black hole in a way that you don't like, as long as you can get out. These are all means and methods, and the ultimate goal is the South Pole. As long as your motivation and purpose are justified, you don't need to be discouraged and sad; You don't have to pay attention to the criticism of people around you.

In order to achieve the goal, it is sometimes a sign of wisdom to temporarily take a road that runs counter to the ideal. People often need patience to cut thorns and thorns (jí): split thorns and cut them off. Describe removing obstacles and opening up new soil or channels. It also means overcoming difficulties and removing obstacles in the process of starting a business. Build bridges and roads, and then I found that I was much closer to my goal. Amundsen has to be criticized as long as he does not give up his ideal goal and his motivation is to realize his pursuit of life value and improve the honor of his motherland.

1911/In June, Amundsen arrived in the Ross Sea Whale Bay by the "Forward". At this time, the British explorer Scott's adventure ship is moored at Imas Point on Ross Island opposite the ice barrier. Amundsen is about 1560 km away from the South Pole, while Scott is about 170 km away from the South Pole, which is even farther than the Norwegian expedition.

Scott of England took a familiar road that shackleton had already taken; On the other hand, Amundsen of Norway plans to conquer unknown waterways in order to win the first victory in Antarctica.

Amundsen built the "Forward Base Station" on an ice barrier five kilometers from the sea, which was a bit risky. If the ice barrier breaks to the sea ice sheet, this "forward base station" will also drift to the endless South Pacific. However, he specially studied the special structure of the ice barrier, and thought that this piece of ice land, the size of which was equivalent to that of France, had been kept in place for 70 years, so he decided to set it here. In order to save laborious transportation, the base station should not be too far away from the sea. If they live on this ice for a year, it confirms Amundsen's ice barrier hypothesis.

Amundsen ordered that in the Antarctic warm season, we should organize the transportation of materials, establish three supply stations separated by one latitude, and then spend the Antarctic cold season. Prepare to March to the South Pole as soon as September arrives next spring. It is impossible to leave before Scott's expedition in England.

Amundsen's base is only half a kilometer away from the supply warehouse, and a row of flags stands between them. In mid-February, 19 1 1, a supply warehouse was established, so that food and equipment could be available when the March reached its peak in September. The so-called supply station is just a pile of materials buried under the ice barrier, surrounded by a three-meter-high snow wall. Every15km, erect a bamboo pole with a flag in root cutting, so as to find the location of the backup warehouse of important materials in bad weather.

At the end of the warm season, three and a half tons of materials have been stored on the way to the South Pole, and a small supply station has been established every 1 10 km. In order to spend the long and dark winter, nervous preparations have been made. At this time, the establishment of the "front base station" has also been completed. They set up fourteen tents, and the snow from the strong wind just covered their tent feet, and the cold airflow was blocked outside the tent. When winter came, the dog couldn't run after the seal, so he let go of his cable (L m 4 n) during the day.

Skilled craftsmen in the expedition reduced the weight of the sled (qiāo) from 74.84 kg to 24 kg, and it was much easier for dogs to pull the snow paddle than before.

Before waiting for the end of the long Antarctic winter, Amundsen's organizational talent once again played a good role. He encourages players to amuse themselves by inventing and creating ways to make people live in harmony.

The members of Amundsen expedition are very excited because they are getting closer and closer to the South Pole. Isn't it? More than half of their journey has passed, and they have completed more than 193 10 kilometers since they set sail. So, how far is it from the South Pole? According to the instruments and data, there are still more than 1260 kilometers to sprint. Needless to say (zhuì): Say unnecessary words. This is also the most arduous and difficult distance.

The difference between Antarctica and the North Pole is that it is a continent, with an area of about the whole of Europe, plus India and Pakistan, which is about14 million square kilometers. This is a terrible place, where the land freezes regularly and the speed of the storm reaches more than 60 kilometers per hour/kloc-0. The icy sea water tightly surrounds the world of ice and snow. It was not until the19th century that man went to the South Pole. The temperature in this continent is very low, the lowest on earth. The average annual temperature in the mainland is around MINUS 56 degrees Celsius, and the absolute minimum temperature is above 0.88 degrees Celsius. Even in the Antarctic warm season (1 1 month to March), the average temperature is below zero in the warmest 1 month.

This glacier-covered continent has an average elevation of over 2,300 meters, making it the highest continent on earth. The ice layer is particularly thick, with an average thickness of 1700 meters, and the thickest place is more than 4000 meters. These glaciers are still moving from high to low, and the sudden cracks on the glaciers will engulf people and things. A snowstorm is coming, and the sky and the earth suddenly change color. I don't know east, west, north and south. The huge life threat of getting lost and falling into the ice gap surrounds people all the time. If food and equipment are used less, there is a danger of starvation and freezing to death; It's difficult to transport because of too much. In a word, this is a terrible place that is not suitable for human survival.

But this terrible place also has its attractions. The vast ice and snow continent, as far as the eye can see, gives people an empty and lonely sense of solemnity (mü) and sweeps away the world of mortals. The terrain is changeable, and the towering ice peaks soar into the sky. In the wonderful snow-free "dry valley", rocks are weathered into strange shapes. Two thirds of the world's fresh water is stored in the Antarctic ice sheet. Even bacteria (jūn) can't survive in the extreme cold of Antarctica, but there are a large number of seals and penguins living in coastal areas, not to mention whales swimming from all over the world. Today, the world says that Antarctica is an attractive mineral resource. Although the high mining cost makes people afraid to ask, sooner or later, human beings will mine Antarctic mineral resources, which will also lead to various international disputes.

When Amundsen reached the edge of Antarctica, many people didn't know the above situation. The closer to the South Pole, the more restless Amundsen is. It turned out that he was afraid that Scott of England would get ahead of him and reach the South Pole before him. Therefore, although the Antarctic cold season is not over yet, he can't wait to start a very unsuccessful sprint at the South Pole in mid-September, and thus he has a serious disagreement with Johnson who insists on disagreeing with his departure at this time. This is a misjudgment of Amundsen's eagerness for success.

After this unsuccessful March, Amundsen waited for another month. 1On October 20th, he and four other players set off in four sledges. However, the climate is very bad, people can't see the road clearly under the snow, and glacier cracks seriously threaten their lives. Trembling with fear, with fearless perseverance and the ability of polar exploration, 1 1 At the beginning of the month, we crossed the ice crack on the last section of the road and began to advance at an average speed of more than 30 kilometers per day, finally reaching the place with more than 1000 kilometers left from the South Pole, and established a supply station. All this is thanks to Amundsen's decision to take the dog in. In the more difficult journey in the future, when climbing glaciers, ice slopes and icebergs, the faithful friend of human beings-dogs-played a huge role. They are the heroes of Amundsen and their arrival at the South Pole. However, in the following March, when people didn't need dogs to pull sledges, Amundsen killed three-fifths of the dogs according to the previous plan, and the meat was used for food and food storage for the team members and dogs. Everyone knows the necessity of doing this, but everyone is very sad. This practice made the whole world criticize Amundsen.

Running forward on a snow-covered and silvery unknown land is in danger of falling into a deep pit crack at any time. Once I was lucky enough to stop less than half a meter from the edge of the ice cliff. At that time, no one realized the situation between life and death (shùn), and then I was scared out of my wits and weak.

On the 27th, they reached the southernmost latitude-88 degrees and 23 minutes south latitude, which explorer shackleton reached in 1999.

When Amundsen saw the flag fluttering in the wind here, his eyes filled with tears, and the flag of the motherland conquered him. Amundsen has all the qualities of a good person: for example, he dares to do things that others think impossible; Have inexhaustible energy and be able to work hard for a long time; Concentrate on the goal and finally pursue it; Constantly accumulate knowledge and always remain optimistic; To pursue the goal, dare to take risks and have great enthusiasm; Can unite others, be patient and have a sense of humor; Have ideals and curiosity, personality and creativity, and don't wait for taboos: it is a metaphor for getting something for nothing. It is also a metaphor for sticking to a narrow experience and not knowing how to change it. Waiting for fate to give, but struggling with fate, trying to struggle in life.

And this strong man, at this time, cried. He knew that there was only less than 180 kilometers left to the final destination, and he set up another supply station, which was the tenth. In the following days, the god of fate gave luck to brave and tenacious people. The fine weather took care of them. 1February 13, they traveled to a place just over 24 kilometers away from the south pole. Amundsen saw no trace of Scott's expedition on the road. 1911214 at 3 pm, they finally reached 90 degrees south latitude-the end of the South Pole. Amundsen's expedition unveiled the greatest mystery on earth.

12 13 They took out the Norwegian flag and tied it to some prepared ski sticks with red and swollen hands, which is less than 25 kilometers from the South Pole. 14 in the morning, they made steady progress. So far, they have found no sign of Scott overtaking them, no cone snowdrift, no flag. At 3 pm, Amundsen shouted, "Stop!" The southernmost tip of the earth has arrived.

There's nobody here. They were the first people to conquer Mianji. The team members hugged each other, raised the Norwegian flag at the top of the pole, took photos as a souvenir, and then set up a tent (pénɡ), where they spent 36 hours. When you left, you left a report to the King of Norway and a letter to Scott in the tent. The letter said that if they died on their way home, please ask him to tell the king of Norway that the Norwegians had arrived at the South Pole for the first time. Amundsen also left a wooden sign with several names engraved on it.

The return trip was smooth. In order to keep getting the nutrition of fresh meat, they kill the dog every three days. Soon, they arrived at warehouse 3. 1912 65438+1On October 25th, they returned to Whale Bay base.

After sailing for nearly 100 days, they returned to Europe, and the Norwegians welcomed Fromm back like national heroes. Their deeds soon spread all over the world.

Amundsen continued to explore the polar regions and finally gave his life. From 1908 to 1920, he traveled around the world along the coastline of the Arctic Ocean. 1926, he and two others flew an airship across the North Pole and arrived in America from Europe. On June 1928, he took off from Norway to help the crew of the Italian airship. Two days later, the plane crashed and he fell into the sea with several crew members.
