Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, leader of the first expedition to successfully reach the South Pole, died on 22 June 1928 when his French Latham 47 Flying Boat crashed into the Barents Sea, in the Arctic circle. He was on route to Spitsberhen as part of an international team to rescue the crew of the crashed airship ‘Nobile’. Although rescuers saved nine of the sixteen members of Noblie’s crew, no one ever fund the body of Amundsen or the five others aboard the flying boat.
