| Summary |
"En avion vers le pôle nord" by Roald Amundsen is an adventurous expedition account written in the early 20th century. The text chronicles Amundsen's bold attempts to reach the North Pole, detailing his innovative use of aviation in polar exploration, following in the footsteps of previous explorers while facing numerous challenges. The opening of the book introduces Amundsen's ambitious goal of flying over the Arctic ice towards the North Pole, motivated by his earlier success at the South Pole. It discusses the difficulties posed by the Arctic environment, including thick ice fields and treacherous conditions that have thwarted previous attempts at exploration. Amundsen reflects on his trials, including being blocked by ice and enduring harsh winters, but remains resolute in his determination. He outlines his plans to employ aircraft for exploration, along with a team of skilled colleagues, which sets the stage for the thrilling adventures and challenges that are to follow as they embark on this daring journey.
