On July 11, 1897, at 1:50 p.m., the hydrogen balloon Örnen takes off from Spitsbergen in Norway. But things go wrong and the last thing the expedition members see are waving hands from the balloon going straight up into the air.
Hear the mystery that eluded the world for over 33 years. And join the expedition members’ disconsolate trek across the polar ice cap.
