Farthest North V1: Being the Record of a Voyage of Exploration of the Ship Fram, 1893-1896 and of a Fifteen Months’ Sleigh Journey by Nansen and Johansen (1897)

Fridtjof Nansen, Dr.

Farthest North Volume 1 is a book that chronicles the incredible journey of the ship Fram and its crew, led by explorer Fridtjof Nansen, as they set out on a voyage of exploration in the Arctic region between 1893 and 1896. The book also details the fifteen-month-long sled journey undertaken by Nansen and his companion Johansen, which took them farther north than anyone had ever been before. The book is a fascinating account of the challenges and triumphs of Arctic exploration, including encounters with polar bears, the search for food and shelter, and the difficulties of navigating through ice and snow. It also provides valuable insights into the natural history and geography of the Arctic region, as well as the customs and traditions of the indigenous peoples who inhabit the area. Farthest North Volume 1 is a must-read for anyone interested in adventure, exploration, and the history of Arctic exploration.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
