EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment as Fridtjof Nansen's ship, the Fram, leaves the harbor of Christiania (now Oslo), Norway, on June 24, 1893. Nansen, a renowned polar explorer, embarked on a groundbreaking three-year expedition with a crew of 12 men. Their mission was to traverse the Arctic pack ice from the New Siberian Islands to the Greenland Sea. The Fram, specially designed for polar exploration, was equipped with a unique hull that could be compressed and expanded to allow the ship to sail through both open water and ice. The image shows the Fram bravely cutting through the waves as it sets sail from the picturesque harbor. The crew, dressed in heavy winter gear, can be seen on deck, preparing for the challenges that lay ahead. The date, 24th of June, is significant as it marks the beginning of the Arctic summer, when the sun never sets in the far north. This engraving is an important historical document, providing a glimpse into the brave and pioneering spirit of Nansen and his crew. Their expedition, which took place between 1893 and 1896, is considered a milestone in Arctic exploration. The Fram's successful journey across the Arctic pack ice paved the way for further exploration and scientific discoveries in the polar regions. This print is a beautiful and intricate work of art, showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the engraver. It is a testament to the rich history of polar exploration and the enduring allure of the Arctic.
