An Artists Impression?
First up thanks to everyone who contributed to a truely fascinating article.
I have a book in my collection called 'Transport Pictures' by Agile Rabbit Editons, one of the images appears to be an artists impression of the Andree expediton after takeoff. I'm unsure of the source of the image (I'm guessing a newspaper or magazine) as the publishers do not provide this.
Hi Graham - Two things, first the link that you provided above is broken so we have no idea what the picture is. Second, if you don't know the source, then it will be a good canadate for deletion as there's the need for sourcing everything. Not sourced = deletion. Good attempt though...

I've fixed the link in my starting post (see above), this points to the publishers webpage. I've checked the site and both the original version of this graphic collection & a subsequent release entitled 'A Compendium of Illustrations' are out of print. The terms of use seem to require permission to be obtained before the picture can be used. Graham1973 (talk) 09:56, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Again - the links don't work so we have no idea what the photos look like. If you get permission for its use, thats great, but we first need to see what everyone needs to agree on. Dinkytown 13:59, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Removed template
Apparently an anon thinks there are weasel words in the "S. A. Andree's scheme" section. There's plenty of opinion in it, but as far as I can see, the opinions are discussed as such, and are sourced. I've removed the template, pending some argument on this talkpage from the anon. Bishonen | talk10:29, 28 November 2009 (UTC).
Museum
How can the balloon gondola be in the museum? They must have left it where it crashed. Perhaps a Swedish speaker could look it up on the museum's website? PhilUK (talk) 20:25, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
I've translated some of the museum's website and it does not mention or show the gondola, so I've removed that from the page. If anyone can show that the gondola is in the museum, then I am happy to be reverted. (Photos on the website show that the improvised boat and the tent were recovered by the expedition that found the bodies.) PhilUK (talk) 19:41, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
There is a gondola in the museum. I would assume it's a replica as it would have been too heavy to transport the original gondola across the ice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.185.55.86 (talk) 19:53, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
No use whatsoever...
...but this is one of the most fascinating, well-researched and well-written articles on Misplaced Pages. Superb work all round. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.49.20 (talk) 18:25, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
