I believe the answer is:

amundsen

(Other definitions for amundsen that I've seen before include "Roald -, Norwegian polar explorer" , "6 24 113 [SCAN-DIN-AVIAN] explorer" , "First man to reach South Pole" , "Norwegian polar explorer, d. 1928" , "Roald --, first to reach the South Pole" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
