S. A. Andree's Arctic balloon expedition of
1897 was an ill-fated effort to reach the
North Pole in which all three members of the
expedition perished. The first Swedish
balloonist, proposed a voyage by hydrogen
balloon from Sweden to either Russia or
Canada, which was to pass, with luck,
straight over the North Pole on the way.
Their dead bodies could only be found 33
years later.

Today, hot air balloons are used primarily
for recreation

After the 1896 launch was called off,
enthusiasm for joining the expedition for a
second attempt in 1897 did not run quite so
high

After he lifted off from Sweden with his
friends, the balloon lost hydrogen quickly
and crashed on the pack ice after only two
days

S.A. Andree had reasoned that they might
as well throw excess food overboard as
sand, if losing weight was necessary

The second half of the 19th century has
often been called the heroic age of polar
exploration
