The plaque, which commemorates the disappearance of an airplane with a Franco-Norwegian crew in 1928, is the product of a desire to create specific touristic spatial practices: it is one of the places on the route of an annual cruise to the North Cape, organized by the Stella Polaris company and the newspaper Le Temps. It is installed on a location offered by the city of Tromsø and has been financed by Le Temps and the cruise company. The analysis of the memorial ceremonies organized around this plaque and the articles published in Le Temps to promote the cruise allows to highlight the willingness shared by all the partners involved to strengthen the representations of Tromsø as an arctic city.
