Commemorating the Centenary of the Amundsen-Ellsworth-Nobile Transpolar Expedition Featured

Svalbard science conference

On April 10, 1926, the airship Norge departed from Ciampino to undertake the "Amundsen-Ellsworth-Nobile Transpolar Flight." On April 10, 2026, the Umberto Nobile Museum in Lauro will commemorate that historic event by celebrating the centenary of the expedition with a series of activities, including a special commemorative postal cancellation, a digital exhibition, and a conference.

Several major institutions that share the project's themes have already confirmed their participation. These include the Norwegian Embassy, various Consulates, the Geographical Society, the Italian Air Force General Staff, the Fram Museum, the Polar Museum, and the association of the descendants of the Norge and Italia crews. The CNR (National Research Council) will be represented by a delegation led by the Director of the Institute of Polar Sciences, Giuliana Panieri, accompanied by Paolo Plini and Roberto Sparapani.
