Brilliant, athletic, smart, observant and unafraid Nansnen was a voracious reader and studied prior expeditions and the problems they faced. He designed the Fram to overcome the problems of prior expeditions, and it worked, and polar drift brought him closer to the pole than had been possible along the route he predicted it would drift. He was correct about the currents. Nansen was handsome and practical–a renaissance man who was intense and a hero and mentor for many. He was one of those few greats who rise to the top of the world’s consciousness over eons of time. His observations allowed Amundsen to discover the Pole, and he became a humanitarian and a nobel peace prize winner. He was a blazing star in the human pantheon, and will remain so for all time. The world was humbled by his brilliance and greatness. A true hero.

Don’t forget his son Odd Nansen who wrote a secret diary during the 2nd world war while in concentration camps in Norway and later in Germany. Read the book “FROM DAY TO DAY”.
