Zenith returns to North Pole

Polar traveller, Jean-Louis Etienne took off at 06 :09 on Monday April 5 from Spitsbergen, Norway, aboard a giant Rozière hybrid balloon kept aloft both by helium and hot air. His aim is the first solitary overflight of the North Pole, which he is expected to reach within three days, before heading for Alaska.
Etienne’s exploit will provide measurements of the Earth’s magnetic field and the amount of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) in an area free from emissions. The first undisputed attainment of the North Pole was by Roald Amundsen and Umberto Nobile, who flew over it on board the dirigible, Norge, on May 12, 1926.
Amundsen, who had earlier become the first to reach the South Pole, was thus the first person to have crossed the entire face of the Earth. On both expeditions, Amundsen wore a watch provided by the Swiss manufacturers, Zenith.see more orologi replica and replica Bell & Ross
