Oslo, 1926.

Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930) was a Norwegian explorer and scientist. He led the first expedition in 1888 that crossed the inland ice of Greenland, which made him world-famous. In addition, he became known for his attempt to reach the geographic North Pole during the Fram expedition in 1893-96. Nansen was also a renowned oceanographer, zoologist, and diplomat. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922 for his humanitarian work as a high commissioner for refugees after World War I. Nansen's contributions to the fields of polar exploration and science have had a lasting impact on our understanding of the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
