Amundsen Now Claims Credit for Arctic Northwest Passage
Amundsen credited with completing the Northwest Passage after leading the Fram from Christiana on a three year Arctic voyage begun in 1910. The expedition, with eight men and Siberian dogs, wintered near Lancaster Sound and Cape Bathurst before crossing the Bering Strait. The Fram’s return to Hobart, Tasmania, was reported after months of silence.
