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.
