The Explorers Club
No. CXLI - The wreck of the Italian semi-rigid airship Italia, 25 May 1928; the debatable cowardice of Umberto Nobile (1885-1978); and the tragic, selfless death of Roald Amundsen (1872-1928).








A tragedy, the lamentable counterpoint to the triumph explored in episode No. CXXXIX: Wayback Machinelink.
