Louise Boyd 1928 Expedition

A writer, photographer, and explorer foremost (she chartered the first private flyover of the North Pole), Louise Boyd is one of the most famous female explorers of the Arctic, though little is known about her.

Described in detail in the Summer 2010 Prologue article "Women of the Polar Archives" by Audrey Amidon, this film captures Boyd's expedition to the north, where, among other endeavors, she helped in the search for famed explorer Roald Amundsen.
