In A World with No Shore, French writer Hélène Gaudy imagines the doomed 1897 Swedish expedition to the North Pole, known as Andrée's Arctic balloon expedition, from photographs found with the bodies of the explorers—Salomon August Andrée, Knut Frænkel, and Nils Strindberg—over 30 years after their deaths, in 1930.
