1910-12 Fram expedition. Photographs of Equator party, 2 October 1910
These photographs were discovered in a chest at Uranienborg in 2015 and show the festivities on board Fram during the Equator party en route to Antarctica. 📜
On 2 October 1910, the Fram expedition’s “crossing the line” celebrations saw the entire ship decorated with flags and banners. Coffee, wine and brandy were served with biscuits, and a show was arranged on deck. First came music from Knut Sundbeck and Kristian Prestrud with the mandolin, and even the dogs were invited to dance. Next on stage was Hjalmar Fredrik Gjertsen dressed in a white dress like a ballerina, followed by Captain Thorvald Nilsen, dressed in clogs, tie, hat and trousers and telling stories. From the gramophone that hung under the boom of the mainsail, songs such as “Ja, vi elsker” (Norway’s national anthem), “Dollarprinsessen”, “Les millions d’Arlequin”, “Graf von Luxemburg” and “The happy troll” rang out over the ocean.

1912-14, the South Pole dog Obersten, photographs
Obersten (The Colonel) was one of three Greenland Dogs who came back to Norway after the Fram expedition. Obersten was the only one of these who in addition had been on the sledge journey all the way to the Pole, when he was part of Oscar Wisting‘s team.
After they arrived in Norway, Obersten and the other dogs lived for a time at Amundsen’s home in Svartskog, but during summer 1914 Obersten moved to Wisting’s home in Horten. When Obersten died is not known, but it was probably during 1919-20.
When the Ski Museum at Frognerseteren (today’s Holmenkollen) was to be established, Obersten’s skin was recovered and stuffed. Obersten is now on display at the Ski Museum in front of the tent and equipment from the South Pole expedition.
These photographs of Obersten and several of Amundsen’s other dogs were found in a chest at Uranienborg in 2015.

1914-18, Photos from World War I
In 1917, Amundsen visited the French front and the battlefield. The following year he was in America giving a talk on what he had seen and experienced. These images are probably a package of press photos given to Amundsen on the occasion of his visit to France. The images were discovered in a chest in one of the storage rooms in Amundsen’s home in 2015.
