About this title

Synopsis

Flying over the Polar Regions was a long-time dream that involved balloons, airships and airplanes. Roald
Amundsen was one of the early proponents of flying in these areas as the future means of both exploration
and transport. Even before the South Pole Expedition in 1910, he had established a network of contacts
in the Norwegian aviation community. Fifteen years later, in 1925, he was on his way towards the North
Pole in a Dornier-Wal, a German flying boat manufactured in Italy. This is his personal diary from the
expedition, 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 a
miracle that he and his crew returned alive, when most people considered them lost. It is a treat to read
Amundsen’s day by day account, as the expedition members try to prepare the plane and the constantly
moving and threatening ice for takeoff from 88� North.

This book also includes the first publication of the personal account of Heinrich Schulte-Frohlinde, who
was leading Dornier’s three-man team in Kings Bay (Ny-�lesund). His description of the preparation of the
polar 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
