Omtale fra forlaget
Flying over the Polar Regions was a long-time dream that involved balloons, airships and airplanes. RoaldAmundsen was one of the early proponents of flying in these areas as the future means of both explorationand transport. Even before the South Pole Expedition in 1910, he had established a network of contactsin the Norwegian aviation community. Fifteen years later, in 1925, he was on his way towards the NorthPole in a Dornier-Wal, a German flying boat manufactured in Italy. This is his personal diary from theexpedition, published in English for the first time.The Polar Flight in 1925 is one of Roald Amundsen’s most exciting expeditions, and it was considered amiracle that he and his crew returned alive, when most people considered them lost. It is a treat to readAmundsen’s day by day account, as the expedition members try to prepare the plane and the constantlymoving and threatening ice for takeoff from 88° North.This book also includes the first publication of the personal account of Heinrich Schulte-Frohlinde, whowas leading Dornier’s three-man team in Kings Bay (Ny-Ålesund). His description of the preparation of thepolar flight and the weeks after the departure brings a new and interesting perspective on the expedition.The book is illustrated with more than 300 original photos
