Volume 1, very large folding map neatly repaired tears, not affecting map. Fridtjof Nansen (October 10, 1861 - May 13, 1930) was born in Store Frĝen, Oslo. He made his first voyage to Greenland waters in a sealing ship in 1882, and in 1888-89 succeeded in crossing the Greenland icefield on skis from East to West. In 1893, he sailed to the Arctic in the Fram (a purpose-built, round-hulled ship later used by Roald Amundsen to transport his expedition to Antarctica), which was deliberately allowed to drift north through the ice, a journey that took more than three years. When it was apparent that Fram would not reach the North Pole, Nansen, accompanied by Hjalmar Johansen (1867-1923), continued north on foot and reached 86 degrees 14 seconds N, the highest latitude then attained. The two men were forced to spend the winter, surviving on walrus blubber and polar bear meat, on Frans Josef's Land, where they eventually connected with a British expedition. Nansen was professor of zoology and oceanography at the University of Christiania (now Oslo) and Norwegian ambassador in London 1906-08. After World War I, Nansen became League of Nations high commissioner for refugees, in which capacity he originated the Nansen passport for refugees. For this work he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1923. This is the first UK edition. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 5 kilogram. Category: Arctic & Antarctic; Exploration.

First English edition. 2 vols. Portrait frontispiece, 4 large coloured folding maps (one loose, tear unaffecting map), 16 colour & several other plates, with numerous illustrations in the text. 8vo. Fine original green pictorial cloth, gilt. Lightly soiled, one partial cup ring to vol 2. Occasional spotting and offsetting, a little dusty, otherwise a very good copy. xvi, 510; xvi, 672pp. London, Nansen's voyage in the Fram captured the world's imagination and publications of his exploits were exceedingly popular. Having traversed Greenland on ski with three Norwegians and two Sami, he came up with a plan to reach the North Pole by allowing a purpose built ship to drift in the ice from East to West. Launched in 1892, the Fram was built by Norway's renowned shipbuilder Colin Archer (his parents were Scots) to withstand the great pressures of the Arctic ice, and designed so that it would be lifted out of the water rather than be crushed by the expanding ice. Setting out in 1893, Captain Otto Sverdrup of the Fram steered a course for the waters North of Siberia where, as Nansen had planned, the ship was trapped in the ice. It soon became evident however that the ice would bring the ship too far south, and so Nansen and Lieut. Johansen set out to ski to the North Pole. Although drifting ice and shortages of food prevented them reaching their destination, they did travel closer to the North Pole than anyone had managed previously. So, having decided to turn back the two men were forced to travel across the ice to Franz Joseph Land where they managed to meet up with an English expedition led by Frederick George Jackson, who took them back to Norway, to national and international acclaim as a great Polar explorer. The Fram meantime returned safely to Kristiania (Oslo) in September, 1896 with no loss of life. Arctic Bibliography, 11983; PMM, 384.
