A bronze bust in Nome, Alaska, USA, honors Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen, whose ship arrived at that Bering Sea outpost in 1906 to become the first to successfully navigate the Northwest Passage in the Arctic. He left from Oslo, Norway, in 1903 aboard a 72-foot fishing boat named Gjoa and was stuck in ice for two winters before completing his quest to sail above North America from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Many Nome visitors like to rub the prominent nose of the Amundsen head-and-shoulders statue for good luck.
