Nansen, He is my best scientest, expoloer, great person forever! He did many great things, which I can not discribe here. But Fram is one of the big things.

He used this ship for crossing Arctic expediton 1993-96. It’s very heard to action by beleaving own theory and passion…

At the Fram’s Cabin, I could see men spend three years here during Fram expedition 1893-96.

 

Fridtjof Wedel-Jarlsberg Nansen (10 October 1861 – 13 May 1930) was a Norwegian explorer, scientist and diplomat. Nansen was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922 for his work as a League of Nations High Commissioner. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest personalities in the history of Norway.

Nansen initially started out as pioneer sports skier, and soon became interested in Arctic exploration. He led the first crossing of Greenland by ski, and achieved great success with his Arctic expedition aboard Fram. He later became noted as a zoologist and oceanographer, and was a pioneer of the neuron theory. He was also a distinguished diplomat, eventually becoming Commissioner of refugees for the League of Nations. He was married to Eva Nansen (died 1907) and was the father of noted architect and humanist Odd Nansen and the grandfather of Eigil Nansen (Wikipedia).
