Swedish aviator picked up by pilot colleague

A lone Moth aircraft piloted by Birger Schyberg lands at the crash site of the airship Italia and rescues Lundborg, who has spent two uncomfortable weeks on the ice. But poor weather and dangerously unstable shifting ice floes preclude a second sortie. Now all hopes are on the Russian icebreaker Krassin.
