Today marks the 90^th anniversary of Nobile's flight to the North Pole onboard the airship Italia. As previous expeditions had done before, Nobile and his crew used Ny-Ålesund as their starting and returning point.

The turbulent expedition ended abruptly with a crash during the return from the pole, and many lives were lost.
