Book excerpt: A spellbinding biography of Fridtjof Nansen, the pioneer of polar exploration, with a spotlight on his harrowing three-year journey to the top of the world. An explorer who many adventurers argue ranks alongside polar celebrity Ernest Shackleton, Fridtjof Nansen contributed tremendous amounts of new information to our knowledge about the Polar Arctic. At a time when the North Pole was still undiscovered territory, he attempted the journey in a way that most experts thought was mad: Nansen purposefully locked his ship in ice for two years in order to float northward along the currents. Richly illustrated with historic photographs, this riveting account of Nansen's Arctic expedition celebrates the legacy of an extraordinary adventurer who pushed the boundaries of human exploration to further science into the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nansen's "Fram" expedition was an attempt by the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen to reach the geographical North Pole by harnessing the natural east-west current of the Arctic Ocean. Despite much discouragement from other polar explorers, in 1893, Nansen took his schooner "Fram", specially designed to withstand the relentless challenges of the poles, to the New Siberian Islands in the eastern Arctic Ocean, froze her into the pack ice, and waited for the drift to carry her towards the North Pole. Three years later, Frederick Jackson, who had organised his own expedition to Franz Josef Land, was astonished to see "a tall man, wearing a soft felt hat, loosely made, voluminous clothes and long shaggy hair and beard, all reeking with black grease". After a moment's awkward hesitation, Jackson recognised his visitor: "You are Nansen, aren't you?", and received the reply "Yes, I am Nansen." Nansen's first task on his return was to write his account of the voyage. This he did remarkably quickly, producing 300,000 words of Norwegian text by November 1896; the English translation, titled “Farthest North” was ready in January 1897. The book was an instant success, and secured Nansen's long-term financial future. Although Nansen retired from exploration after this expedition, the methods of travel and survival he developed with Johansen influenced all the polar expeditions, north and south, which followed in the subsequent three decades. In his brilliant and spellbound first-person account of this epic polar expedition, Nansen vividly describes the dangerous voyage he took with his crew in the “Fram”, and the 15-month-long attempt to reach the North Pole by sledge, when realizing that the ship would not drift to the pole, he departed with Johansen alone and faced on foot the drifting ice, violent storms, the extreme cold of the Arctic winter and the attacks of wild animals, like polar bears and walruses. “Farthest North” is an unforgettable tale and a unique chance to accompany one of the world’s greatest explorers on one of history’s most daring expeditions.

Book excerpt: In 1893 Nansen set sail in the Fram, a ship specially designed and built to be frozen into the polar ice cap, withstand its crushing pressures, and travel with the sea's drift closer to the North Pole than anyone had ever gone before. Experts said such a ship couldn't be built and that the voyage was tantamount to suicide. This brilliant first-person account, originally published in 1897, marks the beginning of the modern age of exploration. Nansen vividly describes the dangerous voyage and his 15-month-long dash to the North Pole by sledge. An unforgettable tale and a must-read for any armchair explorer.

Book excerpt: The memoirs by Fridtjof Nansen tell about the epoch-making attempt to reach the North Pole, which ended in the farthest northern journey in the history of his time. Fridtjof Nansen had an extraordinary idea of how to get to the North Pole by ship. After discovering that the remains of the boat, wrecked near Russian Siberia, were found in the Northern Atlantic, he presumed that there should be some drift through the North Pole. So, he developed a specifically customized ship that was frozen into an ice cube and crossed the Polar waters in this shape. The vessel did freeze successfully. Yet, the journey was too long, and Nansen left the ship to reach the Pole on skis. He and his companion Hjalmar Johansen left for the pole but didn't manage to get it. However, they were the first people to achieve the farthest north latitude of 86°13.6′N. The story tells about this challenging journey through snow and waters makes a unique record of one of the most incredible northern expeditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fram Expedition: Nansen in the Frozen World Among the subjects that are Old yet ever new, that of Arctic Exploration holds a prominent place. It interested the hardy Northmen a thousand years ago, and it has a-still stronger fasci nation for the people of the present day. It' is natural that this should be the case. The human mind is so constituted that it is, always seeking to learn about things that lie beyond the immedi: ate range Of its knowledge. Among intelligent and progressive people there is always a desire to investigate and explore the unknown. This is followed by efforts to secure the knowledge for which a wish has been formed. In the case of Arctic Explo ration, the desire to know whether there were islands or conti nents beyond the narrow range Of their Vision led the pioneers in this great work to sail upon unknown seas. Probably a love of adventure also urged them on, but this could hardly have been the leading motive in their dangerous voyages. At an early period in the history of such enterprises the commercial spirit became a factor, and in later days the love of scientific investiga tion was added to the other elements in the combination of forces which led men to brave the dangers and endure the hardships inseparable from the work of Arctic Exploration. The latest of the great Arctic explorers to reach his home is Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, a young Norwegian scientist, who went much farther north than man had ever been, farther even than the companion who accompanied him to latitude 86° In Europe and America he is the hero cf the day. His accurate knowledge, wonderful foresight, marvellous skill, splendid execu tive ability, magnificent courage, and unconquerabl'e determina tion carried him to a success far greater than any of his prede cessors were able to secure. It is fitting that the record of his brilliant achievements should be given to the public in a handsome and a permanent form. With this end in view the present book has been prepared. It also seemed desirable that it should con tain a biography of Dr. Nansen and an account of his work, much of which was valuable, previous to the great exploit which broughthim world-wide fame. Thus the people could be brought to know the man as well as to learn Of his deeds. In order to add still further to its interest and make it not only an entertaining but also a permanently valuable book, it was decided to add other features. The great journey across the inland ice Of Greenland by Lieutenant Peary, of the United States Navy, and Eivind Astrup, is fully described, and a sketch is given Of the Second Peary Expedition. The concluding portion of the book is a connected sketch of the principal expeditions to the North from their earliest date down to the time of the ones just described. Thus the entire historical period Of Arctic Exploration to the return Of Nansen and the Franz in 1896 has been covered.
