Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Fridtjof Nansen, Norwegian explorer
Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930), Norwegian explorer, biologist and humanitarian. In 1888 he was the first to cross the Greenland ice sheet and showed that it covered the entire island. During 1893-6, travelling in his specially-strengthened ship Fram, drifting locked in the ice, and then marching on foot, Nansen reached a record northwards latitude of 86 degrees 13.6 minutes. Nansen also wrote books on the Inuit, and the central nervous system. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922 for his refugee relief work. Artwork from the 17th volume (first period of 1896) of the French popular science weekly La Science Illustree

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Fridtjof Nansen, the renowned Norwegian explorer, biologist, and humanitarian. In 1888, he achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the first person to successfully cross the vast Greenland ice sheet and proved that it covered the entire island. Nansen's incredible journey continued from 1893-6 aboard his specially-strengthened ship Fram, which became locked in ice as he drifted towards uncharted territories. Undeterred by this setback, Nansen embarked on a courageous march on foot and reached an unprecedented northwards latitude of 86 degrees 13.6 minutes. Beyond his exploration achievements, Nansen was also deeply interested in understanding different cultures and scientific disciplines. He wrote extensively about the Inuit people as well as the intricacies of the central nervous system. His tireless efforts to alleviate human suffering led to him being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922 for his exceptional work with refugees. The artwork featured here is from La Science Illustree, a popular French science weekly published during the late 19th century. The monochrome illustration portrays Nansen with crossed arms exuding confidence and determination while looking directly at the camera. This image serves as a powerful testament to his indomitable spirit and unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries both geographically and intellectually. Fridtjof Nansen remains an iconic figure in history whose contributions continue to inspire generations of explorers, scientists, and humanitarians alike.
