Amundsen Planning
To Spend 24 Hours
At the North Pole
OSLO, Norway, May 6.—Captain
Roald Amundsen, veteran explorer
and Norway’s entry in the 1925 race
to reach the North Pole by Air, has
virtually completed his preparations
for the airplane flight from Lane’s
Island, off the northwest coast of
Spitzbergen, and if all goes well
hopes to hop off on his adventurous
journey late in May or early in June
He expects that the trip may be
made within 24 hours at the most,
with an extra 24 hours at the Pole
if ice conditions permit a landing
there.
Captain Amundsen’s flight will be
a true race for the Pole, for Grettir Al
garsson, a young British Columbian,
has organized a polar expedition
which sails shortly from Liverpool,
England, and will attempt t obeat the
Norweigian explorer at his own game.
Algarsson plans to use a small, non
rigid airship, similar to the “blimp,”
and has openly announced that he
intends to reach his goal before Cap
tain Amundsen if it is humanly pos
sible.
Twice before Captain Amundsen,
who discovered the South Pole and
was first of all explorers to circum
navigate the globe by sailing to the
northward of the continents of Eu
rope, Asia and North America, has
attempted to fly to the northern tip
of the wTorld. His first attempt, from
Wainwright, Alaska, failed when
his plane w*as damaged in a test
flight from the base and could not
be repaired. The second, wrhich was
to have started from Spitzbergen
last year, had to be given up because
of lack of finances.
me third attempt, friends of the
explorer believe, will be made un
der the most favorable auspices and,
barring accident, should succeed. A
force of forty men will be stationed
at Dane’s Island to establish'd base,
tune up the machines, and give them
the' expert attention they require.
Sufficient spare parts have been as
sembled to take care of any possi
bility of breakage except the actual
smashup of the planes, and the two
planes that will be used in the flight
have been given every test that in
genuity could devise, passing them
all without a flaw being found. Skill
ed aviators will pilot them and it is
probable that Captain Amundsen
himself, he has already qualified as
an aviator in the Norwegian army
test, will handle the controls of the
leading machine for a part of the
flight at least.
The explorer’s principal aide in his
flight will be Lincoln Ellsworth, a
young American aviator who served
in the French and American air ser
vices during the' war. Carl Schulte
Froklinde, chief of the Dornier plants
in Pisa, Italy, and a noted mechan
ical expert, will supervise the fitting
out of the machines at Dane’s Isl
and, and H. Voit, a German mechan
ical engineer, will act as mechani
cian in Captain Amundsen’s plane.
Lieutenants Auerdel and Dietrich
sen, well known pilots, also will be
members of the expedition.
The explorer hopes to fly the ap
proximately 600 miles from Dane’s
Island to the Pole, remain there for
a day for the purpose of scientific
investigation, and return direct to
Dane’s Island, Provisions for six
weeks will be carried in the planes,
which will be fitted with skiis for
landing on the frozen icefields of the
Arctic, and guns and ammunition
will be carried so that in case of ac
cident the lives of the members of
the party may be sustained by shoot
ing game, which is said to exist even
in the extreme north.
The planes will have an action ra

dius of about 1,500 miles, 180 miles
more than the round trip distance
from Dane’s Island to the Pole, and
will be equipped with the latest de
vices for aerial navigation, including
radio. Each plane is powerful
enough to care for all members of
thep arty should its companion
break down, and in case of serious
mishap to both machines the explor
er thinks ti will be possible with
luck, to reach civilization again by
ski travel.
While Captain Amundsen’s hope is
primarily to reach the Pole, the ob
jects of the expedition are scientific,
and he expects to settle, once and
for all, the moot point that has in
trigued Arctic explorers for genera
tions, whether or not there is land
near the top of the world.
It was in Seattle, after the failure
of his first aerial attempt, that Cap
tain Amundsen said to an Associated
Press correspondent:
“I would die happy if I could die
at the North Pole. That is the ob
ject of my heart.”
