Expedition Amundsen: 62 Miles Across Norway's Mountains - Kari Varberg

Intense adventures require intense preparation. Polar explorer Roald Amundsen, famous for making the first expedition to the South Pole, nearly died while training for that expedition in his native Norway's Hardangervidda mountain plateau. Today, a race retracing Amundsen's 62 mile training route takes between 24 and 30 hours, unless racers get stuck in their tents due to gale-force winds and snow, like in 2013. Kari Varberg serves as Expedition Amundsen's founder and race director. She shares some of the hardships that racers expect to endure this weekend.
