Fridtjof Nansen's Farthest North V2, Part 1: Being The Record Of A Voyage Of Exploration Of The Ship Fram 1893-1896 (1897) is a historical account of a voyage of exploration undertaken by the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen aboard the ship Fram from 1893 to 1896. The book is a detailed record of Nansen's journey to the Arctic, where he and his crew attempted to reach the North Pole by drifting on ice floes. The book is divided into two parts, with part one covering the first half of the voyage, from the departure of the Fram in 1893 to the winter of 1894. The book is written in a diary-style format, with Nansen documenting his experiences and observations of the Arctic landscape, as well as the challenges and triumphs of the voyage. The book is an important historical record of polar exploration and a testament to Nansen's bravery, perseverance, and scientific acumen. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Arctic exploration and the human spirit of adventure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
