Principals will be Explorer Lincoln Ellsworth, inactive in Arctic or Antarctic exploration since his friend Roald Amundsen lost his life seeking General Umberto Nobile in May 1928, and Pilot Bernt Balchen (Byrd transatlantic and South Pole nights). The expedition plans to leave New York in September 1933, sail to a base at Framheim...
