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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Norwegian North Polar Expedition, 1893-1896, Vol. 6: Scientific Results The history of our expedition is in several respects intimately connected with the name of my good friend, Prof. H. Mohn. As stated in the Introduction to my popular account of the Expedition("Farthest North") it was after reading a newspaper article by Prof. Mohn (in1884) on the Jeanette relics that I got the first suggestion towards the planning of the expedition. Mohn was one of the few who always believed in the practicability of this plan. He was one of the last friends to bid us farewell when we left Vardo in 1893, and by a strange coincidence he was also the first friend Johansen and I met, when three years later we again went ashore, also at Vardo. This important volume is entirely Mohn's work, and in now laying it before the scientific world I feel I could find no better opportunity of according him my special and cordial thanks for the valuable assistance he rendered the expedition in this and in other ways. At my request Professor H. Mohn kindly took charge of the meteorological equipment of the expedition from the very beginning. In concert with me, he laid the plan of the meteorological work to be carried out during the voyage; he ordered the instruments and tested them, and he gave Capt. Scott-Hansen the necessary instructions for making the observations, and pointed out how the whole meteorological work should be superintended.

Download or read book The South Pole written by Roald Amundsen and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-19 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Pole is a book by Roald Amundsen and it represents an interesting first-hand account of the Norwegian expedition's successful attempt to reach the South Pole in 1911. Amundsen spends a great deal of time talking about logistics and placing of depots in preparation for his polar attempt all the way from the preparation leading up to the initial sea voyage, the voyage itself and then the establishing of a camp at the Antarctic. Although they were lucky with the weather, and Amundsen attributed the success of the expedition to "good luck", it is obvious that the Norwegian expedition was well prepared and ready for the troubles ahead; the equipment, the sledges with well-trained dogs, the supply depots with seal meat at regular intervals along the route, the sunglasses to avoid snow blindness; it was all thought of in advance.
