Nils Strindberg

He was the son of wholesaler Johan Oscar Strindberg and Aurora Helena Rosalie Lundgren.

Before perishing on Kvitøya (White Island) with Andrée and Knut Frænkel, Strindberg recorded on film their long-doomed struggle on foot to reach populated areas.

Docent John Hertzberg of the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm managed to save 93 of the theoretically 240 frames.

In an article from 2004, Tyrone Martinsson published some digitally enhanced versions of Strindberg's photos of the expedition, while lamenting the lack of care with which the original negatives were stored from 1944.

Strindberg's body and those of the other two explorers were brought back to Sweden for a funeral with great honors.
