Cook - Otto Sverdrup/Fram northwest Greenland, Arctic Ocean expedition 1898-1902

Cook - Amundsen/Gjøa northwest passage expedition 1903-06

Cook / carpenter - Amundsen/Fram - first successful expedition to reach the South Pole - 1910-11 Fram

Lindstrøm was recommended to Amundsen by Otto Sverdrup for the attempt on the north west passage in the Gjøa after he had impressed Sverdrup during his earlier Greenland expedition on the Fram. He was the only man on board who officially had but one job, though as was the case on all such expeditions (even today), he would have carried out many general duties.

Biographical information - This is a difficult area to research, I am concentrating on the Polar experiences of the men involved. Any further information or pictures visitors may have is gratefully received. Please email - Paul Ward, webmaster.
What are the chances that my ancestor was an unsung part of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration?
