Catalogue Note
A large dramatic painting of Roald Amundsen's 1910-12 expedition, during which he and his team succeeded in being the first to reach the South Pole. The 'Fram' had previously been used for two major expeditions: Nansen's 1893–1896 Arctic expedition and Sverdrup's 1898–1902 Canadian Arctic islands expedition.
