Rescue Efforts Continue for Italia Expedition Members
After failed attempts to locate the Nobile party, Major Maddalena flew supplies to the ice floe on June 20 aboard an Italian seaplane guided by radio. On June 23 Lieutenant Lundborg landed near the party with skis but overturned while attempting a retrieval, stranding him and six Nobile group members. Fog and snow at Spitsbergen halted further searches for Italia and Amundsen's party.
