Når Frammuseet nå har gleden av å kunne presentere Roald Amundsens personlige dagbøker fra Gjøa-ekspedisjonene så er det ikke bare et stort øyeblikk for oss, men også et viktig bidrag i formidlingen av norsk polarhistorie i Norge og internasjonalt.

Roald Amundsen skriver med stor entusiasme om den enorme innsatsen han og hans mannskap gjør i arbeidet med vitenskapelige undersøkelser og hans egne studier av inuittene og deres levesett i området rundt Gjøahavn. Til slutt vet vi så mye om ekspedisjonen, om livet ombord på Gjøa og blant inuittene at det føles som om vi selv har vært med på turen. Amundsen er raus i sin omtale av sine kamerater og behandler all kontakt med, og all informasjon fra, inuittene med stor respekt. Mest av alt fremstår Roald Amundsen som en enestående planlegger. Ekspedisjonen foregikk akkurat slik han la fram planen for Norsk Geografisk Selskap i 1901, mer enn 18 måneder før avreisen med Gjøa.

Navn: Roald AmundsenAlder: 34Stilling: Kaptein, ekspedisjonslederNår: 1900 – 1907Hvor: Nordvestpassasjen

Disse to bind er langt mer enn en dagbok fra Gjøas ferd gjennom Nordvestpassasjen. Totalt sett dekker bøkene en stor del av Roald Amundsens liv fra 1900 til 1907. Fra Roald Amundsens egen hånd har vi inkludert dagbøkene fra hans studier om jordmagnetismen hos professor Neumayer i Hamburg i 1900, overtagelsen av Gjøa i Tromsø og den påfølgende fangst og forskningsekspedisjon på Nordishavet i 1901. Videre er hans personlige brev til broren Leon og det meste av hans korrespondanse med hans mentor Fridtjof Nansen inkludert. I tillegg følger brev til og fra andre personer som Amundsen hadde kontakt med under og etter ekspedisjonen. Inkludert er også foredrag, rapporter, avisutklipp, artikler, invitasjoner, menyer, sanger og andre dokumenter relatert til ekspedisjonen, feiringen av hjemkomsten i 1906 og Amundsens foredragsturne i inn- og utland.

I tillegg er dagbøkene illustrert med mer enn 700 illustrasjoner, inkludert Amundsens egne skisser og den største samlingen av fotografier relatert til Gjøa-ekspedisjonen som noen gang er samlet.

Roald Amundsens dagbok fra Gjøa-ekspedisjonene er den tiende i en lang rekke utgivelser. Frammuseet har tidligere gitt ut Amundsens dagbøker fra Belgica-ekspedisjonen 1897–99, samt dagbøkene fra Amundsen og 14 av det øvrige mannskapet på Sydpolsekspedisjonen 1910–14. I samarbeid med Nasjonalbiblioteket og de ulike eierne av polare dagbøker vil Frammuseet transkribere og publisere samtlige tilgjengelige dagbøker fra de norske polarekspedisjoner fra Fridtjof Nansens ferd over Grønland i 1888 til Nansens og Sverdrups død i 1930. Frammuseets kommende dagbokutgivelser vil inkludere bl.a. ytterligere tre dagbøker fra Gjøa-ekspedisjonen, syv dagbøker fra Første Framferd 1893–96 og syv dagbøker fra Andre Framferd 1898–1902. Alle dagbøkene vil bli oversatt og utgitt på engelsk.

In presenting with great pleasure Roald Amundsen’s personal diaries from the Gjøa Expedition this is not just a big moment

for the Fram Museum, but also an important contribution to the dissemination of Norwegian and Canadian polar history.

Roald Amundsen writes with great enthusiasm about the enormous efforts he and his crew are making in dealing with scientific research and Amundsen’s own studies of the Inuit and their way of life around Gjoa Haven, Nunavut. After reading the diaries we know so much about the expedition, about life aboard Gjøa and among the Inuit that it feels as if we have partaken in the expedition ourselves.

Amundsen is generous in his descriptions of his comrades and treats all contact with, and all the information from, the Inuit with great respect. In addition, he emerges as an unprecedented planner of an expedition through the Northwest Passage. After four hundred years of attempts to solve the puzzle of the Passage, his expedition took place exactly as he presented his plan to the Norwegian

Geographical Society in 1901, more than 18 months before the departure with Gjøa.

This volume is far more than a diary from Gjøa’s journey through the Northwest Passage. The book covers Amundsen’s unabridged personal diary from when he left Norway in June 1903 until he meets an American whaling vessel heading eastwards in the Amundsen Gulf at the end of August 1905. Furthermore, his personal letters to his brother Leon and his correspondence with his mentor Fridtjof Nansen are included, as are the letters to and from other people with whom Amundsen had contact during and after the expedition. Also included are letters, newspaper clippings, and other documents related to the expedition.

Not least, the diary is enhanced with more than 300 illustrations, including the largest collection of photos related to the Gjøa Expedition ever assembled.

This special edition of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen’s diaries has been produced in celebration of the 75th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations between Canada and Norway and the 150th anniversary of Confederation. Five hundred copies will be distributed across Canada to mark these special occasions.

The South Pole diaries Personal crewmember journals from the 3rd Fram expedition (Assorted language editions)

One of the many fascinating aspects of the 3rd Fram expedition to the South Pole was the fact that nearly all the expedition members kept

personal diaries. These private notes have been meticulously transcribed and collected in a series of books, complete with field notes, doodles and spelling mistakes. These unique publications offer a window to the lives and minds of a group of extraordinary men who were as articulate as they were rugged.

Each volume is enriched by additional photographs, maps and illustrations.

Das Frammuseum ist stolz darauf, Roald Amundsens Tagebücher zum allerersten Mal dem Publikum zugänglich zu machen, fast 100 Jahre nachdem sie geschrieben wurden.Teile des Inhalts werden dem Publikum aus Roald Amundsens Buch „Die Eroberung des Südpols“ bekannt sein, das 1913 herauskam, aber vieles darin wird für die meisten neu sein; darunter auch Amundsens lobende Worte über seine Mannschaft, seine Gedanken über den Konflikt mit Hjalmar Johansen und das tägliche Leben an Bord der Fram und in der Winterstation Framheim.

Amundsen Tagebücher erzählen in allen Einzelheiten jeden Aspekt der Vorbereitungen für die Schlittenexpedition zum Südpol und vom „guten Leben“ in der Antarktis. Amundsen ist stolz auf den Einsatz der Kameraden und die erfindungsreichen Lösungen für Kleidung und Ausrüstung. Er schreibt am 5. Juli 1911: “...solch eine Ausrüstung hat wohl keiner vor uns gehabt, nicht einmal annähernd.“ Er schreibt auch von seiner Verwunderung über die Wahl von Ponys und Motorschlitten der Engländer und ihren Unwillen gegen Hunde

Roald Amundsens Tagebuch von der Südpolexpedition ist die zweite in einer langen Reihe von Publikationen der Tagebücher der norwegischen Polarforscher. Die erste war Amundsens Tagebuch der Belgica-Expedition 1897 – 99. In Zusammenarbeit mit der Nationalbibliothek und den verschiedenen Besitzern der polaren Tagebücher, wird das Frammuseum sämtliche zugänglichen Tagebücher der norwegischen Polarexpeditionen, von Fridtjof Nansens Fahrt über Grönland 1888, bis zu Nansens und Otto Sverdrups Tod 1930, transkribieren und veröffentlichen. Die kommenden Tagebuch-Ausgaben des Frammuseums werden u.a. sechs Tagebücher der Ersten Framfahrt 1893 – 96, sechs Tagebücher der Zweiten Framfahrt 1898 – 1902, und acht Tagebücher der Südpolexpedition 1910 – 12 umfassen. Alle Tagebücher werden fortlaufend in mehrere Sprachen übersetzt und veröffentlicht.

und Fellkleidung.

Roald Amundsens Tagebücher geben dem Leser die Möglichkeit, mit zurück in die Zeit zu einem der international bekanntesten Augenblicke der norwegischen Polargeschichte zu reisen. Amundsen führte täglich Tagebuch, sodass wir ihm von dem Moment an folgen können als die Fram Amundsens Heim in Svartskog in der Nacht zum 7. Juni 1910 verließ, bis im März 1912 sein Telegramm über die Eroberung des Südpols um die ganze Welt ging. Die Tagebücher nehmen uns mit auf eine ozeanografische Kreuzfahrt um die Britischen Inseln nach Bergen und von Kristiansand nach Madeira, wo die Mannschaft von dem Plan der Erweiterung der Expedition, „auch das Land um den Südpol zu umfassen“, erfuhr. Weiter erleben wir die viereinhalb Monate lange, ununterbrochene Seereise zur Antarktis, die neun Monate Vorbereitung auf dem Eis in Framheim, 99 Tage Schlittenexpedition zum Südpol und zurück, sowie den ersten Teil der Seereise heimwärts.

Diese erste Veröffentlichung von Roald Amundsens Tagebüchern der dritten Framfahrt ist mit mehr als 270 Fotos von der Expedition selbst, illustriert. Viele von diesen sind nie zuvor veröffentlicht worden.
