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.
