1925 To 88 degrees north
Personnel
The expedition to 88 degrees north involved the efforts of a range of people: the crews on board Hobby and Farm 📜 and were essential to carrying the expedition safely from Tromsø to Svalbard; the inhabitants of Kings Bay (Ny-Alesund) assisted the expedition in the days before it headed north; and several personnel from the Dornier factory in Italy worked on the flying boats. The meteorologists, Jakob Bjerknes and Ernst Calwagen, were central to determining the optimum moment of departure, and through it all the journalists James W. Wharton and Fredrik Ramm, together with the photographer and film-maker Paul Berge, worked to convey news of the expedition to the outside world.
The crews of flying boats N 24 and N 25 themselves were:
