Ziegler Polar Expedition
The Ziegler polar expedition of 1903–1905 was a failed attempt to reach the North Pole. The party was stranded north of the Arctic Circle for two years before being rescued.  All but one of its members survived. The expedition was paid for by William Ziegler and led by Anthony Fiala.  They left from Tromsø, Norway, on June 14, 1903, aboard America.
