Summary:
The untold story of the great polar explorer who conquered the world's
last
unknown places, before vanishing in a daring bid to rescue his nemesis. Larger than
life
, arrogant and competitive,
Roald
Amundsen

Last
Viking
" goes beyond
Amundsen
's conflicted legacy to reveal a humorous, self-deprecating storyteller who was also a visionary and showman.
