Compare Farthest North by Fridjtof Nansen, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This is going to sound insane, so be warned. In 1893, Fridtjof Nansen decided the time had come to conquer the North Pole. In a sailboat called the Fram, he set out to sea with the full intention of getting lodged inside a polar ice cap that he hoped would carry him closer to the center as it meandered with the currents. Farthest North is the story of the ship's adventure on the frozen waters. It is a tale of survival, following them on the 15-month journey that took them by sled to their only hope. The book goes into all the excruciating detail, from their sleeping in rotting deer fur to having to feast on their sled dogs just to stay alive. | Farthest North by Fridjtof Nansen, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
