Amundsen Plans Airplane Flight To the North Pole
The famed explorer Roald Amundsen seeks to crown his career with a June 1918 voyage from Norway toward the North Pole. He intends to drift east of Nansen’s route aboard a new 800 ton three masted schooner, reach 88 degrees latitude, drift for about three years, then launch an air voyage to the Pole with an American aviator. The expedition will use wireless, carry scientific gear, and expect to see Crockerland. Peary’s memory is debated, and Dr. Cook’s Pole claim is dismissed. The ship costs about $100,000 and will sail from Christiania with a 19 man crew including two Americans.
