In 1926, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen flew his airship Norge over the North Pole, making him and his crew the first people to fly over the northernmost point on the planet.
On the way, Amundsen had to dock the airship at several mooring towers for refueling. One of those towers still stands on Vadsøya, the island just off the coast of Vadsø in the extreme northeast of Norway. The Varanger peninsula is a remote and beautiful place and you can only wonder at the sight of this huge airship arriving there in 1926.
