Amundsen began exploring when he was 21 years old, and he died exploring. It was his life-long career to explore and witness wild and exotic polar locations on Earth.
For example, in 1909 there was news that North Pole was already achieved, so Roald Amundsen was focused on leading the team to be the first humans to set foot at the South Pole.
Amundsen first went to Antarctica as part of the Belgica Expedition in 1898, which was the first expedition to over-winter on the continent, their ship having been frozen into the sea ice.
The Belgica Expedition whetted his appetite for polar exploration, and he returned in 1911 to 'conquer the pole' -- become the first human to stand at geographic 90 degrees S.
Apparently, at age 21, after the death of his mother -- according to Wikipedia:
"Amundsen had hidden a lifelong desire inspired by Fridtjof Nansen's crossing of Greenland in 1888 and Franklin's lost expedition. He decided on a life of intense exploration of wilderness places."
Exploration of earth's undiscovered landscapes by gentlemen was a valid occupation of the day.
Because his father was a explorer, and he wanted to be like his father.
