The Hot Air Balloon North Pole Expedition

Salomon August Andrée had a dream. In 1897 he and his companions Nils Strindberg and Knut Fraenkel would by the first to fly a hot air balloon over the North Pole! (Or die trying!) Their story inspired their fellow Swedes, HP Lovecrafts 'At The Mountains of Madness,' and countless other adventurers-at-heart to follow on their stead. Hopefully they would have a better plan.
