On their trip to the South Pole, Roald Amundsen's team encountered some bad weather. They wisely chose to rest in their tents, rather than exhaust themselves and risk frostbite slogging through the howling storm.

Who made Roald Amundsen die?

Was Roald Amundsen knighted by the Queen?
Even though Queen Maud of Norway was born into the British Royal Family, there is no record that she influenced any awards from the British to Roald Amundsen. This avoidance could also have been influenced by Amundsen's success at leading the team to first stand at the South Pole, a quest of the British Royal Navy Captain, Robert Falcon Scott, which ended tragically in many expedition deaths.
What did Roald Amundsen do that was unfair?
In the 'Race to the Pole' Amundsen used skis and huskies to pull his supply sled. His rival Capt. Scott man-hauled their sled and marched to the pole. Unfair?

More likely Scott was jealous of Amundsen's superior skill and methods.
