Roald Amundsen
"The numerous people who imagine that a long stay in the Polar regions makes a man less susceptible of cold than other mortals are completely mistaken."
5 Important Facts about Roald Amundsen:
1. His first antarctic trip was in 1899 on the Belgic expedition when he was one of the first parties ever to stay over winter in Antarctica. 2.He led his first polar expedition in the Arctic from 1903-1906 in the Gjoa, successfully traversing the "North West Passage" 3. The next major expedition was to drift over the North Pole with the pack ice in the ship, Fram, built for fellow Norwegian explorer Nansen. 4. He explored both the North and South Poles. 5. Roald died in a plane crash during a rescue attempt. |
Updates & Progress:
So far after the first week, I started to make the arctic oceans around the land we were given and I also started building a mountain by placing blocks in the shape I want my mountain. This project can be challenging because I have never played Minecraft before, so it can sort of get frustrating. One thing I found to be challenging was having to repeatedly dig up dirt and replace it with snow because the landscape is pretty big, so doing it over and over for a long time can get irking. While working, the person I usually ask help for is Manu because she is the most experienced person on our table that knows about Minecraft. She usually helps me by showing me ways to make this work easier. |

After the second week of Minecraft, I was able to finish placing all the snow on the ground and was also able to finish one mountain covered in snow. Even though this is our second week, this project is still partially challenging to me because Iʻm not aware of all the short cuts available on Minecraft. For example, I didn't know that you could place layers of snow over grass, so I spent a lot of time digging out grass and replacing it with snow. Another person that gives me help for this project is Kuapapa because he showed me the shortcuts that can save me time and can help me become more productive with the time that I have left, so that I can get the most stuff done to make my Explorer's world more realistic to theirs.
