Nansen, one of the most significant figures in the history of Arctic exploration was originally a naturalist. He decided in 1888 to attempt the crossing of Greenland, and with five companions, including Otto Sverdrup, set off in June of that year. The crossing, by small boat, ski and sledge, achieved many important scientific objectives, including meteorological observations, as well as illustrating the ideal methods of Arctic travel. His most important achievements were on the Fram Expedition of 1893-96. He established the nature and drift of the Arctic ice-pack, having deliberately allowed the ship, built to his own design, to be frozen into the ice. During the expedition, Nansen, with one companion and 3 dog sledges, achieved the highest latitude yet attained. One of a number of similar Items I am selling. Postage combined/reduced where possible when taking more than one book. ***Canadian Bidders*** Unfortunately Due to the recent changes made by the Royal Mail for deliveries to Canada over 2kg, I am unable to offer books over 2kg to Canadian bidders at the usual rate that applies to North American bidders. Any Canadian bidders wishing to purchase books over 2kg can do so but the cost will be high at £47 Airmail, no surface mail available, although this also gives a limit of 10kg. Contact me for more details ***Overseas Bidders*** No cheques please unless drawn on a UK bank.
