Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Upper picture gives an excellent idea of the desolate Arctic tundra over which Wiley Post and Will Rogers were flying when they crashed to death. Below, a nearer view of the plane. The smashed front and wing of the craft are clearly visible. The pictures give a general view of the scene where the two men stopped to ask the way to Point Barrow and where they were killed attempting to take off again. In the background at the left in the further bank of the stream may be seen an Eskimo tent. Pictures by Henry Griest, director of the Presbyterian hospital at Poitn Barrow."
