Our polar flight
Roald Amundsen & Lincoln Ellsworth
Our hope to get right along to the Pole was very small, for that our radius of action was too limited. Apart from that I had not any great interest in reaching the Pole, as I had always regarded Peary as being the first on the spot. Our objective was only, therefore, to cover the great distance by flying over it and over the great area we were exploring.
On the 9th April all the long and many preparations were finished, and we left Tromso at five in the morning. The expedition had two ships. The motor ship "Hobby," which should bring the two seaplanes up to Spitzbergen, and the Navy's transport ship "Fram" which the State had placed at our disposal for the undertaking. On board the "Hobby" were Riiser-Larsen, Dietrichson, Omdal, Berge, the photographer, and the Rolls-Royce mechanic Green.
