Semi fun fact; my great great grandfather was Amundsens brother. Well, one of the two brothers, anyway.

That’s amazing! I’m sure there’s loads of family stories?! Fun fact, I work at an archive and recently researched Amundsen’s North Pole expedition and the flying boat he used, very impressive story despite them failing to reach the pole!
