The Ziegler polar expedition of 1903–1905, also known as the Fiala expedition,[1][2] was a failed attempt to reach the North Pole. The expedition party remained stranded north of the Arctic Circle for two years before being rescued, yet all but one of its members survived.[3][4] The expedition is so named as it was funded by industrialist William Ziegler and led by explorer Anthony Fiala.
