| Notes | Caption on image: "Norge" landing on ice at Teller, Alaska. May 13, 1926
Contemporary accounts make no mention of anything other than a normal landing, so the "fire" in the picture would probably be scratches on the image
Handwritten on verso of image: Roald Amundsen, Colonel [Umberto] Nobile flight over North Pole.
Filed in Alaska--Cities/Locations--Teller |
