In 1928, defying Italy's Mussolini and the entire fascist party,
aviator Umberto Nobile, undertook a daring expedition to the North
Pole in Italia, one of several successful airships he had designed.
The tragic crash of the airship on the ice and search for survivors
was the most extensive in Arctic history, involving seven nations.
Although Nobile and eight crew members survived, those lost
included not only their tragic companions but searchers, including
the famous explorer, Roald Amundsen. The Italia tragedy was
described by The New York Times as "one of the most astonishing
episodes in the history of aviation."
