Forgotten tragedies, 19th century balloon flight exploration, and polar bears! This week we go over the highs and lows of Andrée’s Arctic expedition. In 1897, balloon enthusiast Salomon Andrée set out to explore the north pole by air. This tragic exploration attempt seemed to be doomed from the start. Lets take flight and fly on the winds of early aviation and arctic scientific exploration in this installment of The Darkives.
