EDITORS COMMENTS
The year was 1907, and Walter Wellman embarked on a daring expedition to reach the North Pole in the airship America. The front cover of The Sphere captured the bow view of this historic journey, showcasing the start of an adventurous and ambitious mission. In this photo print, we see the floating transport as it begins its voyage through snow and ice towards one of the most elusive destinations on Earth. The airship stands tall against the backdrop of a vast frozen landscape, symbolizing human determination and innovation in the face of extreme conditions. Wellman's attempt to reach the North Pole was not just a feat of exploration, but also a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of discovery. The image evokes a sense of wonder and excitement at what lies ahead for these brave adventurers as they navigate their way through uncharted territory. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the courage and spirit of adventure that drives us to push beyond our limits and explore new horizons. It is a reminder that with perseverance and ingenuity, anything is possible – even reaching for the stars in an airship bound for the North Pole.
