Nansen believes that the currents in the Arctic Ocean flow from the Siberian coast to the North Pole. Therefore, Nansen plans to freeze his boat on the ice near Siberia and then drift away with the ocean current. He has a ship "Fromm", which was specially built for Arctic exploration. It has a solid hull, which can resist the squeezing pressure of ice and provide a warm cabin for the expedition leader and crew. This ship was later used in Roald Amundsen's Antarctic expedition. Welcome to the Daily Guide.
Nansen set out in June 1893, but soon realized that his plan was not feasible. Therefore, he and a companion decided to advance to the North Pole on foot. They arrived 400 kilometers away from the target, closer to the North Pole than anyone before. Welcome to the Daily Guide.
Nansen became a national hero after returning from the Arctic expedition. Since then, he has become a national and international politician. Welcome to the Daily Guide.
Nansen hopes to use his knowledge of arctic ocean currents to drift to the north pole with the ice. When this attempt failed, he soon realized the importance of dogs in crossing the North Lake ice sheet.
