First North Pole Flight
“Spitsbergen, May 12, 1926. The semi-rigid airship Norge moors at Ny-Ålesund after Amundsen's North Pole flight. Foreground shows Roald Amundsen and Umberto Nobile stepping from the gondola onto snow; midground reveals the great cigar-shaped envelope tethered against pale arctic light; bundled ground crew and Norwegian flags surround a polar achievement among glaciers and fjords.”
