Good morning all.

This is a working professor in the field, I like his clobber.
Dressed for the occasion, don’t see the need for all those guns but?

Some in comments asked about the two women participants, I looked up
Mrs Emma D, yes she was there.

Photo shows Professor U. V. Vize, famous explorer and scientist heading the expedition of the S. S. Malygin (Soviet icebreaker 1931.) to Franz Josef Island, where they plan to meet the Graf Zeppelin.

In the expedition, which left Archangel, Siberia, on July 10th, are Umberto Nobile, the Italian explorer, and three Americans, Mrs. Emma D. Dresser of New York, her son, Don L. R. Dresser of Detroit, and Mrs. Elizabeth Patterson of New York.

Also leaving were a group of Russian scientists and newspaper men. They will seek traces of Amundsen and his men who were lost in the Arctic. (Photo by George Rinhart)

Alas it was all in vain

Amundsen disappeared on 18 June 1928 while flying on a rescue mission in the Arctic. His team included Norwegian pilot Leif Dietrichson, French pilot René Guilbaud, and three more Frenchmen.

They were seeking missing members of Nobile’s crew, whose new airship Italia had crashed while returning from the North Pole. Amundsen’s French Latham 47 flying boat never returned.

Later, a wing-float and bottom gasoline tank from the plane, which had been adapted as a replacement wing-float, were found near the Tromsø coast. It is assumed that the plane crashed in the Barents Sea, and that Amundsen and his crew were killed in the wreck, or died shortly afterward.

The search for Amundsen and team was called off in September 1928 by the Norwegian government, and the bodies were never found.

Probably true for us here as well.
Amazing what people could make without AI.
