In part one of our series, we look at the early life of Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen. We then take him on his first great adventure - that as the third in command of the Belgica Expedition - the first expedition of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. It will be a harrowing experience - but prepare Amundsen for bigger things.
