Account of the failed 1897 North Pole balloon expedition. Shortly after leaving Svalbard in July 1897, the balloon lost hydrogen and crashed on the ice floe after only two days of travel. The explorers escaped unharmed, but had to make a perilous trek southwards across the drifting ice. Ill-dressed, ill-prepared and ill-equipped for such an adventure, and surprised by the difficulty of the undertaking, they were unable to find an escape route. Caught by winter in October, they ended up exhausted on the deserted island of Kvitøya, where they died. DUMUYS Léon. Voyage aux pays des fjords. De Paris au Cap-Nord de Bergen à Stockholm.
