Roald Amundsen's Home overlooking the Bunnefjorden of the Inner Oslofjord, Oslofjord, 17 kilometres (11 mi) south of downtown Oslo, was the home of polar explorer Roald Amundsen (1872 – 1928) from 1908 to 1928. It is a historic site with preserved house, numerous artifacts from Amundsen's expeditions, and since 19__ has been a museum open to the public. It is located in the Uranienborg neighborhood of what is now Nordre Follo.
It includes a dock and outbuildings on the fjord, where the ship Fram, already famous from Arctic expeditions, was moored in 1909 for preparations for Amundsen's dogsled-based South Pole expedition in which he reached the South Pole in 1911.
Amundsen, with 30? and 4? dogsleds that were proved effective in the Antarctic conditions, arrived at the pole ___ days before the mission of Byrd arrived. Exhausted from hauling their sleds, and losing precious heating fuel from a leak, then finally trapped in a storm, Byrd and his fellow explorers perished. Amundsen and his entire crew returned in good health, albeit with fewer dogs, as they had planned. Three of his favorite dogs returned with him to Uranienborg, where they lived out a happy retirement chasing rabbits, between occasional celebrity-type appearances.
Subsequent to the South Pole mission, Amundsen ... identified air travel as the future of polar expeditions, and tried flying planes and balloons. He traveled to Japan and back in 1927.
Uranienborg was his home from 1908 until his death on an aircraft mission attempting to save fellow explorer Fridtjof Nansen, whose balloon had landed north of Svalbard, in 1928,[2][3] and the home was preserved as he left it. The nation of Norway acquired the house in 1932.
"Roald Amundsen loved his home here. Black forest. - For for him, as for the drifting sailor, home was the only thing fixed base to which he sought to return as soon as possible, nar his research journeys had ended. - Here he was allowed to work in peace and peace with its manifold tasks. Here he wrote the stories about all his voyages of discovery, and here are probably most of them his bold plans laid out in every detail. Here he had all the fresh air and exercise he needed, and the lake lapping said. to say straight up in his cabin. In this sheltered home he also gathered his friends and acquaintances, and I can assure everyone that the husband of a warm-hearted and thoughtful host would be long sought after. He himself was, for the rest, the pure master chef. — This would go too far, if I were to embark on even a very brief exposition if Roald Amundsen said. many brilliant companies. - When you looking at all his polar books. row after row, you will easily understand that here is a work that approaches pure adventure. What has this one man not been able to accomplish? barely 25 years? — The Northwest Passage and the magnetic North Pole with »GJ0a« from 1903—1906, the South Pole with »Fram« 1910—1912, The Northeast Passage with »Maud« from 1918-1921. To 88° north with the airships »N 24« and »N 25« in 1925. With the airship »Norge« from Svalbard across the Pacific Ocean to Alaska in 1926 and finally said the last journey, the death journey with the French flying boat »Latham« north in June 1928 to a. seek to rescue the survivors from the accident Italian airship »Italia«, which with Nobile on board was stranded north of Svalbard. . It is. almost unimaginable that a single human being could overcome said. much like Roald Amundsen was able to do."
Description[edit]
It is a Swiss Chalet-style house.[2]
History of house in Amundsen's era[edit]
It was back and forth from here, where he made the "big switch" decision and got some approval? for his 3rd expedition not to go to the North Pole (a planned 5 year trip, in Fram), after Byrd claimed to have visited the North Pole, and funding dried up, but rather to use the preparations to take on a trip to the South Pole, instead. This was not announced until? This was famously termed "a minor diversion".

Subsequent history and museum[edit]
It was purchased by Amundsen in 1908, and it is preserved much in the state that he left it in 1928:
When Roald Amundsen set off on 18 June 1928, to assist a rescue mission in the Artic, he had no way of knowing that he would never return. Today, his home remains much as he left it that fateful day. A last written calendar entry, his desk, the old piano taken onboard Maud, and many other objects, souvenirs and gifts that he brought back from expeditions and various lecture tours provide a glimpse into his private life. The story of one of the world's foremost polar explorers resonates from within the house walls.[5]
The museum is managed by the MIA Follo Museum (the Museene i Akershus), which provides a 3D visit at: https://amundsen.mia.no/en/.[5] Museene i Akershus manages 19 museums.[6] [7]
His medicine chest, located at his home, has been subject of an entire study published in 1990.[9]
It is covered in numerous books about Amundsen and other explorers, including with photo in ___. "Amundsen's home, Uranienborg, overlooking the fjord, as he left it. His study was filled with nautical charts and maps and books, a resistance cord to exercise his upper-body strength, and mementos, including a photograph of himself with the king and queen of Norway and one of Amundsens with Nansen. His study has a sextant and a bathroom designed like one on board a ship."[10] Cox is author of Swimming to Antarctica.

Since 2003, Follo Museum has managed Roald Amundsen's home, Uranienborg, located at Svartskog.9 As part of this management project, the museum will review, digitize and obtain a full overview of the material found in his home.Anders Bache, consultant and my colleague at follo museum points out that "...the objects gain value, because we find the history behind each object."This is particularly prominent at Uranienborg, which has been almost untouched since Amundsen's disappearance in 1928, when he took part in a rescue operation at the North Pole to find Nobile and his crew who had crashed on the ice. (as Translated at translate.com/norwegian-english)
Among the material that Amundsen left behind at Uranienborg was a collection of Japanese newspaper articles related to his voyage in Japan in 1927.The collection consisted of both separate newspaper clippings and a bound collection of newspaper articles from Hōchi Shinbun.In 2018, I had a internship at the Follo Museum where I had the opportunity to review this material.How I worked with this material, I will get back to later in this task. - Johnsen
What can this task contribute to further studies? As we have seen, there has been little study on Roald Amundsen's journey to Japan.Besides Bomann-Larsen, Odd Arenes and MacIllnes, this topic does not appear to have been mentioned on previous occasions.Despite the fact that Uranienborg has been a museum since 1935, the Japan trip has probably not been seen as valuable enough to shed light on who Amundsen was.The fact that the source material about this trip is in Japanese may be another reason why this topic has been written little about, as linguistic barriers can be an obstacle.This material has also not been digitized, which means that access to this material may be somewhat limited. / / Organization of the newspaper articles The organization of the newspaper articles has been an instructive process with several unforeseen challenges.At first, I addressed the torn local newspaper articles.They were folded up in four and placed in a cardboard box when they were found in a cupboard at Uranienborg.I took the newspaper articles out of the box, unfolded them and put them in stacks based on which newspaper company had written the article.Then I systematically went through each newspaper company, where I put a glass plate over each article, took a picture of the whole page, and saw a picture of the section that dealt with Amundsen.One challenge here was that the glass plate reflected the light, which made some of the images glare.This was solved by lowering the brightness of the room where the photos were taken.After I had taken pictures of all the torn newspaper articles, I started digitally organizing them into folders.They were only divided according to which newspaper company had written the newspaper article... // The idea behind pulling in large parts of translations has been to try to portray Amundsen's like he is presented in japanese media to a Norwegian audience.Both in the lead-up to and after the translations, I guide readers by explaining context and cultural phenomena I assume are not known to Norwegian readers.In addition, I have come up with my own reflections based on impressions I have made in working with the translations and other sources. Finally, I would like to point out that it is up to readers to judge whether they agree or disagree with my reflections on translations, and also the discussion and analysis section of this paper.In this chapter I have explained how I have systematically sorted and reviewed the Japanese newspaper articles found at Uranienborgi in 2014.I have given examples of how I have progressed in the selection of newspaper articles for this task, and through PAPER have been source critical and talked about some of the weaknesses the newspaper articles bring. I concluded this chapter by explaining my thoughts and methods of progress in the translation process

Commemorations[edit]
About a hundred members of Norwegian Geographical Society and the Norwegian Polar Club met at the house on the occasion of what would have been Amundsen's 75th birthday, in July 1872. Attending were eight of his surviving colleagues, welcomed by Colonel Bernt Balchen, chairman of the Norwegian Polar Club, who gave the word to commander B. L. Gottwaldt.

The problem in the dissertation is: What can we in, in a management perspective, learn from Roald Amundsen's way of leading the South Pole Expedition 1910-1912? The narrative shows that Amundsen's exercise of management on the first part of the expedition was based on a management perspective that had many coincident elements with what day is described as knowledge management. In the last part of the expedition, we see a more unequal management that has several similarities with military management, and with what in the dissertation is described as scientific management.
The shift of management perspective along the way on the expedition was based on an ever-stronger target focus from Amundsens. Through analysis, discovery and discussion, four elements from the Amundsen's management of the South Pole Expedition have been picked that together provide a model for target focused management

As an adult bought Amundsen property in the Bunnefjord. The space called him "Uranienborg", here he lived his whole life and it was also here all his polar expeditions were planned. Amundsen already decided as fifteen years to become a polar researcher, after discovering the English Polar researchers John Franklin's books. Irespect for his mother who strongly wanted RA to educate in medicine, kept Amundsensite life choices for himself, and he was obliged to be admitted to Oslo University in 1890. His university studies only ended with "second examination" in 1893 (the precursor of the Exam Philosophicum) With the worst possible result, one study he used three years to implement Menshan hardened physically and mentally for a life in polar regions. However, after the mother's death in 1993, the AMUNDSENAG looked on his new way.

The floor of this location is composed mainly of soft sediment in shallower depths and becomes progressively rockier and steeper once deeper than seven metres.

Uranienborg naming[edit]
Tycho Brache's Uranienborg was spectacular! Uraniborg is en article. It is "uranienborg" in Norwegian bokmol and in Danish or Swedish, one of them. --Doncram (talk) 01:34, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
The neighborhood Uranienborg, was originally a rural area in the former municipality Aker, it was incorporated into the city of Christiania (later Oslo) in 1859. The property used to have a wonderful view, and it was therefore named after the famous observatory of Tycho Brahe, Uranienborg on the island of Ven, Sweden, 500 kilometres (310 mi) south.
How did the house get the name, too?
Did Amundsen call the house "Black Forest"? Term in 75 year article, and i think elsewhere.
