In this book you follow the famous Norwegian Fridtjof Nansen, and his crew of twelve, deliberately sailing their ship into the arctic ice in an attempt to reach the North Pole.
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. In the face of much discouragement from other polar explorers, in 1893, Nansen took his ship “Fram” to the New Siberian Islands in the eastern Arctic Ocean.
