Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Travel to the North Pole on board a luxury airship
The airship, or lighter-than-air (LTA), has been replaced by aircraft as a means of air transportation since the 1930s. But there are people who are trying to bring back the adventure of airship exploration with the 21st century’s comfort, safety, and technologies. The idea is to use a gigantic airship to fly passengers over the Arctic sea and to the North Pole. Since airships move very slowly, as slow as a bicycle, the passengers onboard can enjoy seeing things on the ice very closely during the 36-hour trip. Weather permitting, they can also walk around the most northern point on earth. The airship will eventually be powered by all-electric propulsion so that it won’t add any more heat to the polar region. The experience of airship travel could be compared to that of a yacht trip.
Enjoy reading the article and seeing the photos of this luxurious airship travel to the North Pole.
