The Nansen Photographs tells the story of Norwegian Arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen and his ground-breaking effort to reach the North Pole in the specially-designed polarship Fram. The story starts when the plan for the expedition was launched in 1890 and continues until the end of Nansen’s international lecture tour in 1897. We see how Nansen selected the cameras for the expedition, and photographs and information about the cameras themselves supplement this part.

The main elements of the book are every single recovered photograph taken during the expedition together with personal diary entries from Nansen and seven of his crew members about the situation when the photographs were taken.

Fridtjof Nansen’s Maps

When Fridtjof Nansen left Norway for the Arctic on 24 June 1893 he brought with him a number of maps and charts. These were maps from previous expeditions to the area, but also published maps made by several of the World’s leading cartographers from Germany, England, Russia and the United States.

This book contains Nansen’s personal collection of maps brought on the Fram Expedition 1893–96, and also the main maps made based on the expedition’s own explorations.

The map collection gives a thorough insight into the exploration of the Arctic from 1734 to 1896, including handwritten and annotated maps, and rare charts given to Nansen by the Russian Government. They are accompanied by a chapter of notes describing the expeditions on which most of these maps are based.
