Book Synopsis
Originally published in 1897, this two-volume work chronicles the expedition of Norwegian scientist Fridtjof Nansen (18611930), who came closer than any previous explorer to the North Pole. Nansen's boat was deliberately driven into pack-ice off Siberia in order to drift north; the expedition later resorted to sleds and kayaks.
