OSLO - The ship used by Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen finally returned home on Monday, completing its journey around the North Pole 100 years after her chaotic expedition started.

A precious relic of Norwegian polar expeditions, the Maud was recovered in 2016 after spending 85 years in Canadian Arctic waters where it sank in 1930.

The shipwreck was towed across the North Atlantic on a barge after it left Greenland at the end of June and arrived at the port of Bergen in western Norway on Monday morning.
