NPR/NGS RADIO EXPEDITIONS WILL STEGER WITH PETER BRESLOW APRIL 1997 DAT 2 00:017 Will talking about photos on the wall: Nansen, a Norweigan explorer, Perry and Scott Amonsen -very few photos -mostly drawings WS -to me they show the essence of what arctic exploration really is. you know just the flag marking the top of the world could be anywhere; the men in the tents in the storms, hauling the sled....breaking up a dog fight, which is pretty much expected when you are traveling with dogs ...nansen, stopping by his dogs who are exhausted, reflecting on his life. this is probably one of my favorite ones, nansen yohansen who left the ship and drifted across the ice in 1893 to '95 and they left the ship in '95 two years after drifting to try to reach the poles by sleds bc the ship wasn't going to drift over the top .... this scene here is when they first spotted the water near the coast. there is a picture of perry and hanson and derek and the eskimos there crossing a lead the one next to that is a picture of us crossing a lead, almost identical. and the 3 pics there are the 3 teams that i have lead in the last 10 years:the 1986 unsupported to the pole; and the 1990 trans-antarctica; and in 1995 crossing the arctic ocean, and the other 2 pics are the parades when we come back to ely. a parade in ely is always something very special to me. i love the town and the people here are always so good. in the parades we always have cars and the dogs are a part of the parade and it is a very special time for them. i am holding up my lead dog here .... you think about the parade when you are out there a lot. it is always in july when it is nice and warm and things are easy. 3:09 PB -so when you are out on the ice like perry and those guys, is it basically pretty much the same thing? i mean you do have your high tech clothing that is wicking away moisture and you do have some special gear. does it kind of come down to the same thing? 3:33 ws the conditions are the same. when we were in antarctica and got stuck in the stor.ms it was still antarctica in a stor.m. the colling has changed a little bit, the sleds and dogs are about the same, the food is maybe a little bit more advanced. what has changed is your contact of either radio, satellite or airplane, and depending on how supported you are the degree in which you are supported by outside influences how this is what deter.mines how far away you are from the turn of the century. but what unique about the turn of the century is that they had the adventure of real exploration of the unknown and that would be just incredible to experience that. that in itself you have to factor as a motivator of reaching the pole or of not knowing what is at the north pole and actually getting there. that type of exploration is something you really can't duplicate bc the world has really shrunk in the last 75 to 80 years. 4:36 4:43 PB -are you envious at all of those guys who lived at that time and really knowing that in this modern era you really can't do what they did. 4:53 WS -i am not envious of the earlier explorers but i have a great deal of respect for them, bc i think i understand a lot of what they did. i like living right here in 1997 with the access that i have. in a way for me the exploration is still there. we have more tools to explore and follow our curiosity and for myself this summer getting off the russian ice-breaker at the north pole july 12 -that's a total unknown. almost a total unknown, since no one has ever traveled then. i have a strategy and a plan dy ...
