[PAR] [TLE] Amundsen Bay [SEP] Amundsen Bay, also known as Ice Bay, is a long embayment 24 mi wide, close west of the Tula Mountains in Enderby Land, Antarctica.  The bay was seen as a large pack-filled recession in the coastline by Sir Douglas Mawson on January 14, 1930.  Seen by Captain Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen in charge of a Norwegian expedition during an airplane flight on January 15 and subsequently mapped nearer its true position by the Norwegians.  The bay was mapped in detail by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions party landed by aircraft in 1956 and another landed by launch from "Thala Dan" in February 1958.  It was named by Mawson after Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer who was first to reach the South Pole. [PAR] [TLE] Roald Amundsen [SEP] Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen (] ; 16 July 1872 – c. 18 June 1928) was a Norwegian explorer of polar regions.  As the leader of the Antarctic expedition of 1910–12, which was the first to reach the South Pole, on 14 December 1911, he was a key expedition leader during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.  In 1926, he was the first expedition leader for the air expedition to the North Pole, making him the first person, without dispute, to reach both poles.  He is also known as having the first expedition to traverse the Northwest Passage (1903–06) in the Arctic.
