Produktinformationen "Farthest North (The Complete Two-Volume Edition)"

Farthest North (The Complete Two-Volume Edition) is Fridtjof Nansen's monumental account of the 1893-1896 Fram expedition, an audacious attempt to reach the North Pole by allowing a specially built ship to drift with the polar ice. Combining nautical log, scientific report, and high adventure, the narrative moves from meticulous observations of ice, weather, and ocean currents to the stark drama of Nansen and Hjalmar Johansen's sledge journey. Its lucid, disciplined prose places it among the defining works of late nineteenth-century exploration literature. Nansen was not merely an adventurer but a zoologist, oceanographer, skier, and later statesman whose intellectual formation shaped the expedition's aims. His theory of Arctic drift, developed from scientific evidence and maritime reports, underlies the entire venture. The book reflects a mind equally committed to empirical rigor and human endurance, revealing how exploration could serve both national ambition and international science. Readers interested in polar history, expeditionary writing, or the psychology of survival will find this edition indispensable. It offers not only a gripping journey into extreme geography, but also a landmark meditation on courage, discipline, and knowledge pursued at the limits of the known world.
