Why Cruising Solo to Antarctica May Be the Best Way to See It
"My trip was aboard the new MS Roald Amundsen, the world’s first hybrid expedition cruise ship, from Norway-based cruise line Hurtigruten. In order for a ship to land in Antarctica, it can’t have more than 500 passengers—which is the size of this ship. I found out quickly that the ship's size meant I was in an “alone, together” situation, which I really enjoyed."
Statue of the famous Norwegian polar explorers Roald Amundsen. The statue located in the little park in Tromso Norway. Right behind the main church of the city. Very appropriate to have such famous figure in Tromso, the Gateway to the Arctic. The statue is a bronze statue but starting to turn greenish as time passes

A nice statue honouring one of the greatest ever polar explorers. Being the first man to reach the South Pole is an incredible feet.

Tromsø was an important base for many polar expeditions, Amundsen used Tromsø as a starting point for several expeditions and his last journey went from here in 1928.
