Farthest North; Being the Record of a Voyage of Exploration of the Ship "Fram" 1893-96

In September of 1893, Norwegian zoologist Fridtjof Nansen and a crew manned the schooner Fram, intending to drift, frozen in the Arctic pack-ice, to the North Pole. When it became clear that they would miss the pole, Nansen and his companion Hjalmar Johansen struck off by themselves. Racing the shrinking pack-ice, they attempted, by dog-sled, to go "farthest north." They survived a winter in a moss hut eating walruses and polar bears, and the public assumed they were dead. In the spring of 1896, after three years of trekking, and having made it to within four degrees of the pole, they returned to safety. Nansen's narrative stands with the best writing on polar exploration.

"Dieser Bericht über 'meine ersten Erlebnisse im Eismeer' ist zum großen Teil eine Wiedergabe des Tagebuchs, das der damals - 1882 - noch sehr junge Verfasser geführt hat ... Dieses Buch ... versucht auch die Anschauungen über Erscheinungen und Verhältnisse in jener Eiswelt darzustellen, zu denen die Forschungen eines ganzen Lebens geführt haben.
