A slab of driftwood and a fisherman's chart may help to solve a 75-year-old mystery about the death of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen.
In 1911, Amundsen became the first person to reach the South Pole, after a historic race with Briton Robert Falcon Scott. He vanished on June 18, 1928,
when his seaplane crashed during a mission to rescue an Italian rival in the Arctic.
Norway is considering sending a submarine to scour the seabed for the wreck in icy North Atlantic waters about 70m to 100m deep.
This year, experts found a chart used by a Norwegian fishing boat marking a spot northwest of Bear Island where the crew in 1933 hauled up a 2m to 3m long object that could have been part of a plane wing.
There are no records of other crashed aircraft or ships in the area.
