Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In 1893 Fridtjof Nansen set sail for the North Pole in the Fram, a
ship specially designed to be frozen into the polar ice cap,
withstand its crushing pressures and drift to the North Pole as a
scientific experiment to prove that the polar cap was a sheet of
ice floating on the oceans. Experts said that such a mission was
tantamount to suicide. His disappearance for three years created
such a media sensation that when he was found paddling back to
civilisation dressed in walrus skin his stirring first-person
account of the expedition's historic achievements became an instant
international bestseller, the first of its kind!
