Listener Appreciation Week: The Pourquoi Pas and Roald Amundsen
The French explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot joined the search for Roald Amundsen.
Listener Appreciation Week Day 4
Renowned French explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot explored the polar regions for many years aboard his ship, the Pourquoi Pas. When fellow explorer Roald Amundsen's plane went missing in 1928, Charcot joined the search for the Norwegian. Amundsen himself was searching for the crashed Italian airship, Italia, and its captain Umberto Nobile.
