Summary "OUR POLAR FLIGHT" by Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles an expedition that aimed to explore the Arctic regions through aerial navigation, venturing into uncharted territories between Spitzbergen and the North Pole. The narrative is centered around renowned explorer Roald Amundsen and his companion Lincoln Ellsworth as they embark on this groundbreaking journey. The opening portion of the book introduces the ambitious vision behind utilizing aircraft for polar exploration, marking a significant departure from traditional methods of travel like sledges and dog teams. Amundsen reflects on the evolution of aviation following the Wright brothers' flight and considers the potential of flying to reach the previously inaccessible Arctic areas. The text covers the preparations for the expedition, detailing the challenges of acquiring aircraft, the discussions among the crew, and their eventual departure, underlining the determination and hope that fueled their quest to traverse the ice on an unprecedented scale.
