Umberto Nobile & Polarquest2018

Why Nobile N1? Do you know the history behind this flagship piece from the Svalbard Islands collections? Get ready for an adventurous journey into the past.

Umberto Nobile was an aviator, engineer, and Arctic explorer. He designed and piloted the airship Norge (N1), the first aircraft to reach the North Pole! On May 25, 1928, during its second return voyage from the North Pole, the airship "Italia" crashed onto the ice 120 km northeast of the Norwegian Svalbard Islands. This event triggered an unprecedented international rescue operation, which succeeded in saving eight members of the expedition, including the leader, Umberto Nobile. While the survivors managed to retain some of the equipment on board, the wreckage of the airship was never found.

Ninety years later, Paola Catapano organized the Polarquest 2018 expedition with the aim of locating the remains of the "Italia." With her and skipper Peter Gallinelli, she embarked on a diverse crew of researchers and citizens who took advantage of this Arctic expedition passing through very high latitudes, above 78°, to carry out unprecedented scientific measurements and experiments. Svalbard Islands stood by their side as a technical sponsor, protecting them from the cold and harsh weather of the Arctic climate!
