Ronald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen is his full name and this man was a Norwegian Explorer who was the first person to walk onto the south pole, while competing with others to be the first, that was in 1911. And dispensary while in a rescue mission for the airship in Italia.
Some Fun Facts:
Amundsen, Nobile, and Lincoln Ellsworth all dropped their country's flags onto the North Pole as they flew over.
At one point he was attacked and nearly killed by a polar bear.
The airship he used to fly to the North Pole in was almost 350 feet long and filled with hydrogen gas.
