The explorers Fridtjof Nansen und Ronald Amundsen are two of the most famous Norwegian and are known all over the world. Both used the \u201cFram\u201d in order to explore the last undiscovered spots on the globe.<\/p>\n<p>Nansen was able to archive a lot of knowledge about exploring and living in the cold and was very famous because of his keen journey to the North Pole despite his failure to be the first human on the North Pole.<\/p>\n<p>Amundsen explored the South Pole while pretending to aim for the North Pole and reached the South Pole with four others on the 14.12.1911 (Amundson, R. 1976: 17). He completed his mission five weeks ahead of Scott, his British opponent who died on the return journey.<\/p>\n<p>The museum provides a lot of information about the journeys and the challenges on the expeditions. It was very interesting to see the impact of the explorers and the ship of the Norwegian culture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Holmenkollen Museum:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the Museum we were able to take a look at the beginning and development of skiing. It was impressive to follow the development of the different kinds of skis, having its roots 4000 years ago in a simple wooden construction for transportation to becoming a high tech science for competitive sport use. Personally I was glad the Museum did not just show the development of the cross-country-skis but rather showed the development of the free-ski and snowboard culture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/home.uia.no\/jannit14\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN4740.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-147\" src=\"http:\/\/home.uia.no\/jannit14\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN4740-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/jannit14\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN4740-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/home.uia.no\/jannit14\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN4740-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/home.uia.no\/jannit14\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN4740-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cross country world cup <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday we visit the men\u2019s 50k race and it was impressive to see the amount of people coming to the race to support the athletes.

I was never really interested in ski jumping but it was something completely different to be in the stadium than to watch it on the TV. It was a little bit sad that there weren\u00b4t many spectators compared to the men\u00b4s world cup even though it was for free.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday night and on Sunday we visit the men\u2019s world cup and the atmosphere of a full Holomenkollen ski jump stadium was really impressive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/home.uia.no\/jannit14\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN4843-e1430728755131.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/home.uia.no\/jannit14\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN4843-e1430728755131-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/home.uia.no\/jannit14\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN4848.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/home.uia.no\/jannit14\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN4848-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Personal Conclusion<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed our trip to the Holmenkollen Ski Festival. It was impressive to get to know the excitement and the passion of the Norwegians for the ski sport. I liked the atmosphere around the campfire that was around the racing tracks; it was a good way to get in contact with Norwegian people by sitting around the campfire. Even though the night was cold that didn\u2019t affect the Norwegians, as they were outside and enjoying the atmosphere. The trip to Oslo including the museum and the ski festival confirmed the strong connection between the nature and the Norwegian culture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<p>Amundsen, R.; Nilsen, T.; Prestrud, K.; Chater, A.G.
