The Norwegian aviator Lief Lier was taking part to a complete season (year 1929/1930) of research over Antarctica to localise whales on behalf of the Hvalfangstselskapet Kosmos (Kosmos Whales Company). The airplane was on its way with two people on board, the pilot Lief Lier and Ingvald Schreiner, doctor of the expedition. At the end of the day, the airplane failed to return to the boat and SAR operations were initiated. They were abandoned a week later as no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found.
