Legendary Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen died on a rescue mission for his Italian rival Umberto Nobile in the Arctic in 1928. The equally legendary Fridtjof Nansen held his memorial speech a few months later; this is a shortened version which he recorded on the 9th of January 1930. It has been unavailable (in this quality) for several years, but luckily I recently found a copy which I had saved to a hard disk in 2017. I transcribed and translated it years before I made a channel, so you could say this video has been a long time in the making. I have added film from Amundsen's expedition to the Arctic with the ship "Maud", 1922-1925.
The Robert Service poem which Nansen quotes is "The Call of the Wild", albeit highly abbreviated and re-worded by Nansen. The Thomas Carlyle references must be at least partly to his work "The Early Kings of Norway" -- incidentally I have a copy of it, but unfortunately the lettering in my edition is too damned large to bear reading it.
