Was Amundsen criticized for his methods?
There were always those who questioned the risks or the methods. Some believed exploration should be less about achieving a specific geographical point and more about grand pronouncements. My focus was on achieving the objective, efficiently and safely, as much as possible. Success demands unwavering resolve and a practical understanding of the task. The South Pole was a scientific and geographical objective, and I pursued it with a clear mind and meticulous planning, utilizing the most effective tools and knowledge available.
