His plan for crossing with a small expedition, upwards with dogs which they would eat on the way, and then downwards on ski were received with scathing contempt. His contemporaries were used to huge expeditions, such as Livingstone's to inner Africa, with numerous servants required for survival. No one thought Nansen and his crew would live to reach the other side of Greenland. These gripping and tense diaries of their shared hardship show how they succeeded against the odds under Nansen's leadership.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10416547\"\u003eFridtjof Nansen\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gibson Square\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783342303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783342307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-TRV\"\u003eTravel\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-TRV020000\"\u003ePolar Regions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO023000\"\u003eAdventurers \u0026amp; Explorers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO030000\"\u003eEnvironmentalists \u0026amp; Naturalists\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFridtjof Nansen (1861-1930) was the spiritual mentor to Amundsen, Scott and Shackleton and single-handedly made polar expeditions as popular as they are now.
