The legendary Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen, accompanied by Lincoln Ellsworth and Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen, embarked on an audacious mission to reach the North Pole. Amundsen's daring attempt is immortalized in this image from "My Polar Flight" his personal account of the journey. The N24 and its companion aircraft, the N25, were poised for takeoff as part of this historic endeavor. Against a backdrop of icy landscapes and freezing temperatures, these brave men prepared themselves for an extraordinary flight into uncharted territory.
