Roald Amundsen began his last expedition in Tromsø. In 1928, the famous polar explorer set off for the North Pole to rescue Umberto Nobile, whose airship had crashed during an Arctic expedition. Amundsen probably died during this rescue attempt not far from Bear Island, about halfway between the North Cape and Spitsbergen. Neither he nor his companions ever reappeared; only parts of his flying boat were found a short time later.
