• Virgo Harbor in north-west Svalbard. Site of several airship attempts to reach the North Pole, one by Swedish engineer Salomon Auguste Andree, and two by the American Journalist Walter Wellman. All three members of Andree's expedition died and Wellman's attempts resulted in the death of two. 3/24/2008 10:38:55 AM by cchartne, Svalbard Researcher
