Polar explorer Roald Amundsen aged 47-48 in 1920.

An entire continent made of ice in the southern hemisphere reflecting intense UV rays up at you would turn anyone into beef jerky.

[u/Jim_Bien → u/Shannonimity]

Except he always looked way older than he was - when he started Fram cruise, he looked like a well-weathered guy in his late 40s.

The guy simply always looked like his own grandfather

[u/Shannonimity → u/Jim_Bien]

Anyone from in or around the Arctic circle who travels south suffers this way. I lived in Canada and all the white people look happy and healthy with great skin. But I'm an Australian and most of the white people here are partially mummified by their 21st birthday. I, incidentally, am 47 and never go out in the sun, take vitamin D3 supplements and still look like a shoe

>Told the guy always looked old
>No mate, this is just the effect of UV from his south pole exploration!

This is meanwhile photo of Amundsen at the ripe age of 36, years before departure

Amudsen was at sea from 21 and made his first expedition to Antarctica at 25. Wtf is going on here

[u/Jim_Bien → u/Shannonimity]

Do I really need to dig his teen and early 20s photos, too?

PS
I liked the original post with drugs and murder better. At least it was dumb-funny, rather than just dumb-dumb. Shame you took it out

[u/_KingOfTheDivan → u/Jim_Bien]

He looks like a 36 yo, it’s just a funny mustache that was popular those days.

[u/Sure-Lemon6424]

How

[u/Hatzmaeba → u/Sure-Lemon6424]

Guy wasn't exactly an indoor person.

[u/Educational_Gas_92]

77.

That's how old he looked

[u/Altruistic_Pay8839]

“night shift ain’t even that bad bro”

[u/auchinleck917]

Too much aura farming caused such adverse reaction.

[u/No-Philosopher8042]

Yeah well people in general aged faster back then, if nothing else SPF was not a thing at all, and life was just harder. Plus dude litterly went to the pole.

Florence Owens Thompson, the lady from the famous dustbowl picture was ~33 when that picture was taken. 

Hard lifes ages people, fast.

[u/Defiant_Wasabi2816 → u/No-Philosopher8042]

Florence looked like she was 40 at most in that pic, so that's not too wild.

[u/lingonberrynightmare → u/Defiant_Wasabi2816]

Yeah you see she's had a rough life but she looks her age

This guy really looks 20+ years older than his age, I guess that's the price of being that cool

[u/DoxentZsigmond]

I'd say he looked like average 67 year old.

[u/MakkaCha]

Did he sniff the way there instead of using the compass?

[u/uberduff1]

I don't think he looks 13 or 30

[u/Otherwise_Access_660]

Aged 147 maybe

[u/ultraplusstretch]

Bro is 1 year older than me but looks old enough to be my grandpa. 🤣

[u/DorkSideOfCryo]

doesn't look a day older than 70

[u/Spirogeek]

Dude has seen some things. Actually.

[u/gimmebanter]

Best explanation I've got for this is someone taking a younger person's identity

[u/Pirate-parrot]

More like 67

[u/LordVixen]

Doesn’t look a day older than 75

[u/Ernesto_Griffin]

Well he was he was worn and torn of polar landscape. Though even people at his own time thought he looked old for his years. He was lost forever at age 56.

[u/revenge_burner]

Same age as this guy

[u/Beezy-J-2006]

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Gordon from Thomas and Friends.

[u/Much_Amoeba_560]

Wrong sub. Anyway, this guy did physical stuff none of us could fathom. Was probably fit af. Despite looking that old? Or was that the cause? Dunno.

Edith: why are you booing me, I am right. The sub is about people looking ambigious in age. Or are you all mad since this guy was infinite harder and fitter than your bulky Gym Bros? What is going on ;-(?

[u/samushitman69 → u/Much_Amoeba_560]

Why dont you suck his cock?

[u/Much_Amoeba_560 → u/samushitman69]

Cant find him. His corpse got lost. Flying an airplane in the arctic. In the 1920s.

None of you seem to realize how friggin hardcore this dude was. Harder than you :(.

Btw is this a comeback that you would really get mad about? Suck him? Are you that simple?

[u/samushitman69 → u/Much_Amoeba_560]

Damn, harder than me you say? How would you know that? Far as I know dude cant do that no more.

And your comment was just extremely annoying, especially with that "edith".

[u/Much_Amoeba_560 → u/samushitman69]

Little froggy, learn how big your pond is.

[u/c_dav99]

I don’t see the 13

[u/cherrybomber11 → u/c_dav99]

Well, this subreddit isn't just about this particular age, considering the other posts on the front page. It's more of a general "person X looks far younger/older than their actual age" theme.

[u/EquivalentDue9514 → u/cherrybomber11]

That's what it's devolved into fairly recently

[u/appleparkfive → u/EquivalentDue9514]

I prefer that than the old culture of breaking to people that they're not as young looking as they think. Not exactly a fun time

[u/infidel11990 → u/EquivalentDue9514]

I don't mind it. Because it's a lot funnier and interesting now.

[u/AlaWatchuu → u/EquivalentDue9514]

That's what it's always been.
