Nansen is revered in Norway and for good reason. Not only was he a highly skilled, brave and organized explorer, but his sensitivity and poetic nature shine through this description of this incredible journey. A must-read for fans of early polar exploration, if only to learn how exploration should be done, making vital decisions in ways that accomplish one's goals while preserving the lives of those who believe in you.
