Excerpt from The Fram Expedition: Nansen in the Frozen World Among the subjects that are "old yet ever new," that of Arctic Exploration holds a prominent place. It interested the hardy Northmen a thousand years ago, and it has a still stronger fascination for the people of the present day. It is natural that this should be the case.
