"It is not a little strange to be floating here above the Polar Sea. To be the first to have floated here in a balloon. I can not deny that all three of us are dominated by a feeling of pride. We think we can face death having done what we have done." – S. A. Andrée
"...the middle of the night... shadows on the glacier... the flaming outside... not of innocent white doves... carrion birds... bad weather, we fear... to escape... out to sea... crash... grating... driftwood..." – S. A. Andrée
