EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration captures the historic moment in March 1895, when Fridtjof Nansen and Hjalmar Johansen bid farewell to the Fram, the iconic exploratory vessel, as they embarked on their daring attempt to reach the North Pole on skis. Nansen had led an ambitious three-year expedition, which began in 1893, taking him and his 12-man crew across the treacherous Arctic pack ice from the New Siberian Islands to the Greenland Sea. Despite the failure to reach the North Pole, this groundbreaking expedition achieved a new furthest North record, pushing the boundaries of human endurance and scientific discovery. Nansen and Johansen's determination and resilience in the face of adversity have become legendary in the annals of polar exploration history. In this image, the explorers are shown waving goodbye to their crew and the Fram, their faces filled with determination and anticipation as they set out on their historic journey. The frigid Arctic landscape, with its vast expanse of ice and snow, stretches out behind them, a testament to the immense challenges they were about to face. Nansen's expedition, which took place between 1893 and 1896, is a significant chapter in the history of polar exploration, and the story of Nansen and Johansen's attempt to reach the North Pole continues to inspire and captivate generations of adventurers and armchair explorers alike.
