Roald Amundson. explorer

It is nearly a century, December 14, 1911, to be precise, that the Norwegian explorer Roald Amunden arrived at the South Pole and on December 16 planted the Norwegian flag at the Pole, in so doing he arrived at his destination five weeks ahead of the Englishman Robert Falcon Scott. Although Amundsen returned safely from this expedition Scott and his party perished. It took this picture on a trip to Norway but I can't remember which town is was in. If anyone knows I would be grateful to know.
