Amundsen-Nobile-Ellsworth N1“Norge”
Polar Expedition Centennial Project
In 1926, the airship Norge completed the first undisputed flight over the North Pole, uniting Amundsen, Ellsworth and Nobile in a historic Arctic flight.
A century later, we celebrates this milestone with a collection of commemorative and philatelic editions.
Hun in the Sun is an independent publishing house specialized in books, games and artworks dedicated to aviation. The fascinating world of flight is presented not only through beautiful books, but also through high-quality prints depicting airplanes, airships, seaplanes and aircraft from the Golden Age of Aviation. In addition, we offer technical data sheets to illustrated profiles, historical accounts and studies on camouflage and color variations. As a result, Hun in the Sun‘s catalogue is constantly expanding and each publication is a point of reference for collectors, model makers or aviation history enthusiasts.

A cento anni dallo storico volo polare del dirigibile Norge, al Museo Storico dell’Aeronautica Militare di Vigna di Valle, abbiamo preso parte a una serata dedicata a una delle più straordinarie imprese nella storia dell’aviazione e dell’esplorazione.
Polar Night at the Museum non è stata una semplice commemorazione, ma un incontro vivo tra ricercatori, direttori di musei, esperti di aviazione e custodi della memoria provenienti da diversi paesi europei e dagli Stati Uniti.
Tra gli aeromobili storici del museo, gli ospiti hanno vissuto un’esperienza immersiva fatta di talk, installazioni multimediali, materiali d’archivio, realtà virtuale e collegamenti internazionali in diretta lungo la rotta storica del Norge, esattamente cento anni dopo la spedizione Amundsen-Ellsworth-Nobile.
A mezzanotte, nel momento esatto del centenario della conquista del Polo Nord, la serata si è conclusa con un brindisi simbolico e la consegna di una medaglia commemorativa agli ospiti del Carrie McLane Museum di Nome, il luogo dove il Norge terminò la sua incredibile traversata un secolo fa. Un ponte ideale che, dopo cento anni, unisce ancora le sponde del mondo nel nome della ricerca.
Siamo orgogliosi di aver contribuito alla direzione visiva e tecnica di un evento che ha intrecciato storia, design, tecnologia e memoria collettiva in una cornice unica.
Organizzato da GoodGear e SEBA.
A cura di Max Pinucci e Vincenzo Grienti.
Con la partecipazione dell’Aeronautica Militare, della Società Geografica Italiana, di OceanSky Cruises e di ospiti internazionali dal mondo della cultura, della ricerca e dell’aviazione.
