= PMM 384 (1st Norwegian ed., Christiania, 1897); cf. Arctic Bibliography 11983 (ed. New York, 1897); Henze III, p.575-585: "Das Urbild aller Polarforscher, der Erstdurchquerer Grönlands, bahnbrechend als Erheller des Nördlichen-Eismeer-Raums." "(...) Nansen's own account of a remarkable achievement in polar exploration, every detail of which was worked out by Nansen himself and went absolutely according to plan. Early whaling experience, and the traverse of Greenland on snow-shoes and sleighs in 1888-9, convinced him that arctic exploration was feasible on revolutionary lines. He convinced himself, against accepted opinion, that there was a regular ice-drift from Alaska to Greenland. He set himself to design a ship that, by its shape, would evade the crushing pressure of the ice. His idea was deliberately to allow the ship to be frozen into the ice-pack and then to drift across the Arctic region. This ship, the Fram, four hundred tons and immensely strong, was built in a Scottish yard to Nansen's design, sailed from Norway in June 1893 and in the following September rode triumphantly above the ice at the appointed spot. In August 1896 she reached Norway once more. Nansen, with one companion and three sledges drawn by huskies, had left the ship in March 1895 and within a few weeks reached the farthest north latitude yet attained by man (86°14'). Nansen had hoped to reach the Pole, but the condition of his dogs warned him to turn back. (...) His great journey received world-wide acclaim and brought him many international honours." (PMM).
