Adolf Lindstrøm

Later he traveled with Roald Amundsen during his navigation of the Northwest Passage in the Gjøa from 1903 to 1906, and in the South Pole expedition of 1910 to 1912.

[2] Lindstrøm was a large, jovial man[3] and he rarely left the ship, unlike other expedition participants.

The only thing that could lure him out was the opportunity to hunt ptarmigan[5] because fresh meat was appreciated on the long expeditions.

Roald Amundsen wrote in his diary on April 5, 1911, "He has rendered greater and more valuable services to the Norwegian polar expedition than any other man.

[6] In 2017 a bronze sculpture of Lindstrøm made by Håkon Anton Fagerås was unveiled in Hammerfest.
