Umberto Cagnis Polar expedition ship, the Stella Polare
Polar Exploration of Umberto Cagni (1863-1932) of the Royal Italian Navy. He is best known for his leadership in the expedition (by dogsled), which headed northward over the surface of the Arctic Ocean in 1900. While his party failed in their goal of reaching the North Pole, Cagni and his men achieved the northernmost point achieved by exploration up to that time on 25th April 1900. This card shows Cagnis expedition ship, the Stella Polare. Following his Polar achievement, Cagni returned to Italian naval service. He led naval relief efforts in the 1908 Messina earthquake, participated in the colonial conquest of Libya in 1911-1912, served in World War I, retired in 1923 as an admiral, and was named to the Italian Senate!!!
