Roald Amundsen and the 1925 North Pole ExpeditionAviation History | 0 comments | Print This Post | Email This Post
A reassembled N25 rode the waters near Oslo on July 5. Roald Amundsen, Lincoln Ellsworth and their crew once more clambered aboard the Dornier-Wal to fly the final few miles to the Norwegian capital. ‘Good old N25!’ recalled a tearful Ellsworth. ‘We dropped down into the fjord amid a pandemonium of frantically shrieking river craft and taxied on through the wildly waving and cheering throngs.’ King Haakon of Norway feted the explorers, whom he described as being ‘once dead and returned to life.’ Subscribe Today
