An aeronautical history of two turn-of-the century expeditions from Danskoya (Danes Island) in Spitsbergen. Capelotti recounts the misadventures of the Swedish expedition led by Salomon Andree (whose remains were never recovered) along with the neglected Wellman expedition, sponsored by the Chicago Record-Herald in 1906. He includes a detailed archaeological analysis of the aerial polar base camps on Danskoya.
