On May 4, the Italian Ambassador to Oslo, Stefano Nicoletti, visited Uranienborg, Roald Amundsen’s house and museum in Svartskog, along the Oslo Fjord. The house has remained intact since the morning of June 16, 1928, when the famous Norwegian explorer left to join the search for survivors of the Red Tent that cost him his life.
Accompanied by curator Anders Bache, the Ambassador visited the living room where Amundsen met Captain Umberto Nobile on July 25, 1925, to plan his flight to the North Pole, which took place the following year aboard the airship “Norge”.
This is another stage in the celebrations for the centenary of the voyage of the airship Norge from Rome to the North Pole, which will conclude on May 11 in Ny Ålesund, in King’s Bay (Svalbard), exactly one hundred years after the first overflight of the North Pole by the airship Norge.
