Scott-Hansen and Johansen Inspecting the Barometers, 1893-1896
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph from 1897, we are transported back to a time of exploration and adventure. Sigurd Scott-Hansen and Fredrik Hjalmar Johansen stand side by side, their gazes fixed on the barometers before them. These two brave explorers were part of Fridtjof Nansen's three-year expedition aboard the Fram, which took place from 1893 to 1896. Scott-Hansen, the youngest member of Nansen's crew, served as first lieutenant in the navy and played a crucial role as navigator and scientific assistant. Johansen, a lieutenant in the Reserve, brought his expertise to this daring journey into uncharted territories. As we observe this moment frozen in time, we can almost feel their anticipation for what lies ahead. The barometers they inspect symbolize not only their commitment to accurate measurement but also their unwavering determination to conquer new frontiers. This remarkable image is captured within the pages of Farthest North - an extraordinary literary account penned by Fridtjof Nansen himself. Published in London in 1897 by Archibald Constable & Company, it offers readers a glimpse into one of history's most ambitious expeditions. Through this photograph print preserved by Heritage Images today, we are reminded of these courageous men who pushed boundaries both physically and intellectually. Their legacy lives on through tales like these that continue to inspire generations with stories of exploration and human resilience.
