:41:00
Thank God.
:41:01
After all, if those poor men
hadn't crashed on the ice...
:41:05
then who would have heard of Kingsbay?
:41:07
It was a stroke of luck.
All right for them, all right for you...
:41:10
and certainly all right
for the men on the ice.
:41:13
Something wrong?
:41:46
Gentlemen, please be quiet.
Be quiet, please.
:41:50
I'm doing everything I can
under the circumstances.
:41:53
Winds of gale force are cutting up the pack.
:41:55
The ice itself
may shortly be expected to move.
:41:59
They could be anywhere within that area.
:42:04
Two million square kilometers.
:42:11
Those will be the aircraft
promised by the Royal Swedish Air Force.
:42:14
How many aircraft in all now, Captain?
:42:16
Two Italian, two Norwegian...
:42:19
one German, and three Swedish.
:42:22
Unfortunately, only the Swedish planes...
:42:24
are equipped with skis
for landing on the ice.
:42:26
Those with pontoons
are useful only for reconnaissance.
:42:29
Are any of your aircraft searching now?
:42:31
Weather permitting, they will fly tomorrow.
:42:34
If General Nobile is transmitting,
is it not a fact...
:42:37
that his signals could be lofting up
and coming down pretty well anywhere...
:42:41
that they could be picked up by anyone...
:42:42
- who happened to be in the right place?
- I believe so, yes.
:42:45
Then ought you not to make public
the wavelengths...
:42:48
on which General Nobile
may be transmitting?
:42:50
I will ask Rome for authority to do so.
:42:52
Captain Romagna, do you believe
there are any survivors?
:42:56
Amundsen doesn't.
:42:57
I flew down to Oslo and got
a short interview with Dr. Amundsen.
