Italian Umberto Nobile and Norwegian Roald Amundsen were extraordinary explorers and pioneers. Described in the book as “two destinies linked to the Pole,” Nobile and Amundsen shared the ability to achieve ambitions and dreams that seemed unattainable, and sometimes insane.
The dream of reaching the North Pole by air was realized when the combination of Amundsen’s experience and Nobile’s aeronautical ingenuity resulted in the overflight of the North Pole by the airship Norge on May 12, 1926. The immense success of this affair is still engaging and inspiring today.
The two figures, often presented in contrast, are here seen in the light of their common aspirations, their shared love of exploration and science; only in the light of this communion of purpose can we understand their true inner relationship and explain the unifying tragic nature of their fates.
