Nansen Plans Arctic Drift Voyage in Fram Vessel
Dr. Nansen outlines a summer Arctic voyage in a strong vessel to drift with the polar current across the ice toward East Greenland. The expedition costs about 90000 dollars with 60000 voted by the Nae Storthing and a crew of eleven, likely all Norwegians, facing many challenges but no hopeless ones. Numerous global applications show wide interest in joining this historic polar mission.
