The story of the only person to attempt to reach the North Pole by balloon, and the golden age of Polar Exploration.In August 1930 a Norwegian sloop sailing in the Arctic Ocean moored at a remote island. Here, the crew members found a body leaning against a rock. When they saw a large monogram ?A? on the body?s jacket, they realized who the unfortunate adventurer had been: S. A.
