The book talks about the outstanding expedition of the Norwegian traveler Fogrofof Nansen to the North Pole on the schooner "Fram". All in this expedition was new and amazing. Nansen first decided to reach the pole not contrary to ice, but with their help, assuming that the drift will take it to the desired point. For this, a unique, egg-like "ship that drifted in ice was built.
However, the forecast of Nansen relative to the drift speed was not justified, and the scientist, together with the partner Yalmar Johanson, carried out a hiking to the pole - another dramatic story of the survival of two people for 9 months - remaining without food, help, in the harsh conditions of the polar winter. Nansen, who has not reached the goal, nevertheless, turned out to be a man who at that time further than all in the world advanced to the north. Being not only a traveler, but also a serious scientist, Norwegian returned home with fruitful research results and various scientific discoveries.
Beautifully illustrated, with cards and a ship, this cognitive book will introduce the reader with the geography of the Polar region, with the methods of organizing Arctic expeditions, animal world of the north, and will also open the door to the world of heroic adventures.
For younger school age
