In September of 2012, Lou and his North South Polar team returned from their second Greenland expedition for the US Coast Guard. The expedition succeeded in locating a J2F-4 Grumman Duck amphibious biplane containing three heroic American servicemen who had been missing since November 29th, 1942. Now entombed in ice forty feet below a glacier surface, the plane and its crew went down while attempting to rescue other Americans stranded on the Greenland ice cap. Plans are now underway to recover the Grumman Duck’s crew for their families and the aircraft to be restored as a memorial to the men.
