He led the Antarctic expedition of 1910-1912 which was the first to reach the South Pole, on 14 December 1911. In 1926, he was the first expedition leader for the air expedition to the North Pole. Amundsen is recognized as the first person, without dispute, as having reached both poles. He is also known as having the first expedition to traverse the Northwest Passage (1903-1906) in the Arctic. In June 1928, while taking part in a rescue mission for the Airship Italia, the plane Amundsen was in disappeared.
