In the face of much discouragement from other polar explorers, Nansen took his ship <a href="/wiki/Fram_(ship)" title="Fram (ship)">Fram</a> to the <a href="/wiki/New_Siberian_Islands" title="New Siberian Islands">New Siberian Islands</a> in the eastern Arctic Ocean, froze her into the <a href="/wiki/Pack_ice" class="mw-redirect" title="Pack ice">pack ice</a>, and waited for the drift to carry her towards the pole. Impatient with the slow speed and erratic character of the drift, after 18 months Nansen and a chosen companion, <a href="/wiki/Hjalmar_Johansen" title="Hjalmar Johansen">Hjalmar Johansen</a>, left the ship with a team of <a href="/wiki/Samoyed_dog" title="Samoyed dog">Samoyed dogs</a> and sledges and made for the pole. They did not reach it, but they achieved a record <a href="/wiki/Farthest_North" title="Farthest North">Farthest North</a> latitude of 86°13.6′N before a long retreat over ice and water to reach safety in <a href="/wiki/Franz_Josef_Land" title="Franz Josef Land">Franz Josef Land</a>. Meanwhile, Fram continued to drift westward, finally emerging in the North Atlantic Ocean. The idea for the expedition had arisen after items from the American vessel <a href="/wiki/USS_Jeannette_(1878)" title="USS Jeannette (1878)">Jeannette</a>, which had sunk off the north coast of <a href="/wiki/Siberia" title="Siberia">Siberia</a> in 1881, were discovered three years later off the south-west coast of <a href="/wiki/Greenland" title="Greenland">Greenland</a>. The wreckage had obviously been carried across the polar ocean, perhaps across the pole itself. Based on this and other debris recovered from the Greenland coast, the meteorologist <a href="/wiki/Henrik_Mohn" title="Henrik Mohn">Henrik Mohn</a> developed a theory of <a href="/wiki/Transpolar_Drift_Stream" title="Transpolar Drift Stream">transpolar drift</a>, which led Nansen to believe that a specially designed ship could be frozen in the pack ice and follow the same track as Jeannette wreckage, thus reaching the vicinity of the pole. Nansen supervised the construction of a vessel with a rounded hull and other features designed to withstand prolonged pressure from ice. The ship was rarely threatened during her long imprisonment, and emerged unscathed after three years. The scientific observations carried out during this period contributed significantly to the new discipline of <a href="/wiki/Oceanography" title="Oceanography">oceanography</a>, which subsequently became the main focus of Nansen's scientific work. Fram's drift and Nansen's sledge journey proved conclusively that there were no significant land masses between the <a href="/wiki/Eurasia" title="Eurasia">Eurasian</a> continents and the North Pole, and confirmed the general character of the north polar region as a deep, ice-covered sea. Although Nansen retired from exploration after this expedition, the methods of travel and survival he developed with Johansen influenced all the polar expeditions, north and south, which followed in the subsequent three decades. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Nansen%27s_Fram_expedition&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Fridtjof_Nansen_-_Project_Gutenberg_eText_13103.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Head and shoulders of a young, fair-haired man with a blond moustache, looking to the right.

After drawing attention to the failures of the many expeditions which had approached the North Pole from the west, he considered the implications of the discovery of the Jeannette items, along with further finds of driftwood and other debris from Siberia or Alaska that had been identified along the Greenland coast. "Putting all this together," Nansen said, "we are driven to the conclusion that a current flows ... from the Siberian Arctic Sea to the east coast of Greenland," probably passing across the Pole. It seemed that the obvious thing to do was "to make our way into the current on that side of the Pole where it flows northward, and by its help to penetrate into those regions which all who have hitherto worked against [the current] have sought in vain to reach."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen15–29Vol._I-9">[9]</a> Nansen's plan required a small, strong and manoeuvrable ship, powered by sail and an engine, capable of carrying fuel and provisions for twelve men for five years.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen30–31Vol._I-10">[10]</a> The vessel would follow Jeannette's route to the New Siberian Islands, and in the approximate position of Jeannette's sinking, when ice conditions were right "we shall plough our way in amongst the ice as far as we can."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen30–31Vol._I-10">[10]</a> The ship would then drift with the ice towards the pole and eventually reach the sea between Greenland and Spitsbergen. Should the ship founder, a possibility which Nansen thought very unlikely, the party would camp on a floe and allow itself to be carried towards safety. Nansen observed: "If the Jeannette Expedition had had sufficient provisions, and had remained on the ice-floe on which the relics were found, the result would doubtless have been very different from what it was."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen32–33Vol._I-11">[11]</a> When Nansen's plans became public knowledge <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> was enthusiastic, deeming it "highly probable that there is a comparatively short and direct route across the Arctic Ocean by way of the North Pole, and that nature herself has supplied a means of communication across it."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTE''New_York_Times'',_"Dr._Nansen's_Arctic_trip"-12">[12]</a> However, most experienced polar hands were dismissive.

Bow, stern and keel were rounded off, and the sides smoothed so that, in Nansen's words, the vessel would "slip like an eel out of the embraces of the ice".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen62–68Vol._I-27">[26]</a> To give exceptional strength the hull was sheathed in South American <a href="/wiki/Chlorocardium" title="Chlorocardium">greenheart</a>, the hardest timber available.

Nansen's hope was to find open water to 80° north latitude and then enter the pack; however, on 20 September ice was sighted just south of 78°. Fram followed the line of the ice before stopping in a small bay beyond the 78° mark. On 28 September it became evident that the ice would not break up, and the dogs were moved from the ship to kennels on the ice. On 5 October the rudder was raised to a position of safety and the ship, in Scott Hansen's words, was "well and truly moored for the winter".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford238–239-48">[44]</a> The position was 78°49′N, 132°53′E.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford242-49">[45]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Drift_(first_phase)">Drift (first phase)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Nansen%27s_Fram_expedition&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Drift (first phase)">edit</a>]</div> On 9 October Fram had her first experience of ice pressure.

Men began to irritate each other, and fights sometimes broke out.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford247–252-52">[48]</a> Nansen attempted to start a newspaper, but the project soon fizzled out through lack of interest. Small tasks were undertaken and scientific observations maintained, but there was no urgency. Nansen expressed his frustration in his journal: "I feel I must break through this deadness, this inertia, and find some outlet for my energies." And later: "Can't something happen? Could not a hurricane come and tear up this ice?"<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming244-53">[49]</a> Only after the turn of the year, in January 1894, did the northerly direction become generally settled. The 80° mark was finally passed on 22 March.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen378Vol._I-54">[50]</a> Based on the uncertain direction and slow speed of the drift, Nansen calculated that it might take the ship five years to reach the pole.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford257–258-55">[51]</a> In January 1894 he had first discussed with both Henriksen and Johansen the possibility of making a sledge journey with the dogs, from Fram to the pole, though they made no immediate plans.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford257–258-55">[51]</a> Nansen's first attempts to master dog-driving were an embarrassing failure,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen248–250Vol._I-56">[52]</a> but he persevered and gradually achieved better results.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford260–261-57">[53]</a> He also discovered that the normal cross-country skiing speed was the same as that of dogs pulling loaded sledges. Men could travel under their own power, skiing, rather than riding on the sledge, and loads could be correspondingly increased. This, according to biographer and historian <a href="/wiki/Roland_Huntford" title="Roland Huntford">Roland Huntford</a>, amounted to a revolution in polar travel methods.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford262-58">[54]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Fram_March_1894.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Semi-frontal view of a frost-covered ship surrounded by hummocks of ice.

With a growing conviction that a sledge journey might be necessary to reach the pole, in September Nansen decreed that everyone would practice skiing for two hours a day. On 16 November he revealed his intention to the crew: he and one companion would leave the ship and start for the pole when the 83° mark was passed. After reaching the pole the pair would make for <a href="/wiki/Franz_Josef_Land" title="Franz Josef Land">Franz Josef Land</a>, and then cross to Spitsbergen where they hoped to find a ship to take them home. Three days later Nansen asked Hjalmar Johansen, the most experienced dog-driver among the crew, to join him on the polar journey.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford268–269-59">[55]</a> The crew spent the following months preparing for the forthcoming dash for the pole. On the <a href="/wiki/Inuit" title="Inuit">Inuit</a> model, they built <a href="/wiki/Qamutit" class="mw-redirect" title="Qamutit">qamutit</a> that would facilitate fast travel over rough sea ice terrain and constructed <a href="/wiki/Kayak" title="Kayak">kayaks</a> for use during the expected water crossings.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming246–247-60">[56]</a> There were endless trials of special clothing and other gear. Violent and prolonged tremors began to shake the ship on 3 January 1895, and two days later the crew disembarked, expecting the ship to be crushed. Instead the pressure lessened, and the crew went back on board and resumed preparations for Nansen's journey. After the excitement it was noted that Fram had drifted beyond <a href="/wiki/Adolphus_Greely" title="Adolphus Greely">Greely's</a> Farthest North record of 83°24, and on 8 January was at 83°34′N.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford275–278-61">[57]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="March_for_the_Pole">March for the Pole</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Nansen%27s_Fram_expedition&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: March for the Pole">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Nansen_Johansen_depart_14_March_1895.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="A group of men pose on the ice with dogs and sledges, with the ship's outline visible in the background" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Nansen_Johansen_depart_14_March_1895.jpg/300px-Nansen_Johansen_depart_14_March_1895.jpg" decoding="async" width="300" height="208" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Nansen_Johansen_depart_14_March_1895.jpg/450px-Nansen_Johansen_depart_14_March_1895.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Nansen_Johansen_depart_14_March_1895.jpg/600px-Nansen_Johansen_depart_14_March_1895.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3762" data-file-height="2608" /></a><figcaption>Nansen and Johansen finally depart on their polar journey, 14 March 1895.

The <a href="/wiki/Archipelago" title="Archipelago">archipelago</a> had been discovered in 1873 by <a href="/wiki/Julius_Payer" class="mw-redirect" title="Julius Payer">Julius Payer</a>, and was incompletely mapped.<a href="#cite_note-64">[e]</a> It was, however, apparently the home of countless bears and seals, and Nansen saw it as an excellent food source on his return journey to civilization.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford285-65">[60]</a> On 14 March, with the ship at 84°4′N, the pair finally began their polar march. This was their third attempt to leave the ship; on 26 February and again on the 28th, damage to sledges had forced them to return after travelling short distances.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen79–80Vol._II-66">[61]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen83–85Vol._II-67">[62]</a> After these mishaps Nansen thoroughly overhauled his equipment, minimised the travelling stores, recalculated weights and reduced the convoy to three sledges, before giving the order to start again. A supporting party accompanied the pair and shared the first night's camp. The next day, Nansen and Johansen skied on alone.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen88–90Vol._II-68">[63]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford302–307-69">[64]</a> The pair initially traveled mainly over flat snowfields. Nansen had allowed 50 days to cover the 356 nautical miles (660 km; 410 mi) to the pole, requiring an average daily journey of seven nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi). On 22 March a <a href="/wiki/Sextant" title="Sextant">sextant</a> observation showed that the pair had travelled 65 nautical miles (120 km; 75 mi) towards the pole at a daily average of over nine nautical miles (17 km; 10 mi). This had been achieved despite very low temperatures, typically around −40 °F (−40 °C), and small scale mishaps including the loss of the sledgemeter that recorded mileage.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford308–313-70">[65]</a> However, as the surfaces became uneven and made skiing more difficult, their speeds slowed. A sextant reading on 29 March of 85°56′N indicated that a week's travel had brought them 47 nautical miles (87 km; 54 mi) nearer to the pole, but also showed that their average daily distances were falling. More worryingly, a <a href="/wiki/Theodolite" title="Theodolite">theodolite</a> reading that day suggested that they were at only 85°15′N, and they had no means of knowing which of the readings was correct.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford322-71">[66]</a> They realised that they were fighting a southerly drift, and that distances travelled did not necessarily equate to northerly progression.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming248-72">[67]</a> Johansen's diary indicated his failing spirits: "My fingers are all destroyed.

Unless the surface improved, their food would not last them to the pole and then on to Franz Josef Land.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming248-72">[67]</a> The next day they calculated their position at a disappointing 86°3'; Nansen confided in his diary that: "I have become more and more convinced we ought to turn before time."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen127Vol._II-74">[69]</a> After making camp on 7 April Nansen scouted ahead on snowshoes looking for a path forward, but saw only "a veritable chaos of iceblocks stretching as far as the horizon". He decided that they would go no further north, and would head for <a href="/wiki/Cape_Fligely" title="Cape Fligely">Cape Fligely</a> in Franz Josef Land. Nansen recorded the latitude of their final northerly camp as 86°13.6′N, almost three degrees (169.6 nautical miles or 314.1 kilometres) beyond Greely's previous Farthest North mark.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen142Vol._II-75">[70]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Retreat_to_Franz_Josef_Land">Retreat to Franz Josef Land</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Nansen%27s_Fram_expedition&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Retreat to Franz Josef Land">edit</a>]</div> The change of direction to south-west provided much better travelling conditions, probably because the course to Franz Josef Land was broadly parallel to the lines of disturbance in the ice instead of perpendicular to them.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford330-76">[71]</a> Progress was swift: "If this goes on," Nansen recorded on 13 April, "the return journey will be quicker than I thought."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen145Vol._II-77">[72]</a> However, the same diary entry records a mishap that day: both men's watches had stopped. Although Nansen's journal comment is mild, the incident was potentially disastrous.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming249-78">[73]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford332-79">[74]</a> Without the correct time they could not calculate their longitude and thus maintain the correct course to Franz Josef Land. They restarted the watches based on Nansen's guesswork that their longitude was 86°E, but the pair were no longer certain where they were. If they were farther west than Nansen's assumption, they might miss Franz Josef Land altogether, and head for the open Atlantic.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming249-78">[73]</a> The direction of the drift became northerly, hampering the pair's progress. By 18 April, after 11 days' travel from Farthest North, they had only made 40 nautical miles (74 km; 46 mi) to the south.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford333–334-80">[75]</a> They now travelled over much more broken terrain with wide open leads of water. On about 20 April they were cheered by the sight of a large piece of driftwood stuck in a floe, the first object from the outside world they had seen since Fram had entered the ice. Johansen carved his and Nansen's initials on it, with the latitude and date. A day or two later they spotted the tracks of an <a href="/wiki/Arctic_fox" title="Arctic fox">Arctic fox</a>, the first trace of a living creature other than their dogs since leaving Fram. Other tracks soon appeared, and Nansen began to believe that land might be near.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford334–336-81">[76]</a> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Nansen_Franz_Josef_Land_voyage_map.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="The scattered islands of the Franz Josef archipelago are depicted.

By Nansen's calculations, they had reached 82°21′N on 31 May, placing them only 50 nautical miles (93 km; 58 mi) from Cape Fligely at the northern extremity of Franz Josef Land, if his longitude estimate was accurate.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford343–346-83">[78]</a> In the warmer weather the ice began to break up, making travel more difficult. Since 24 April dogs had been killed at regular intervals to feed the others, and by the beginning of June only seven of the original 28 remained. On 21 June the pair jettisoned all surplus equipment and supplies, planning to travel light and live off the now plentiful supplies of seal and birds. After a day's travel in this manner they decided to rest on a floe, waterproof the kayaks and build up their own strength for the next stage of their journey. They remained camped on the floe for a whole month.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford346–351-84">[79]</a> On 23 July, the day after leaving the camp, Nansen had the first indisputable glimpse of land. He wrote: "At last the marvel has come to pass—land, land, and after we had almost given up our belief in it!"<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen276Vol._II-85">[80]</a> In the succeeding days the pair struggled towards this land, which seemingly grew no nearer, although by the end of July they could hear the distant sound of breaking surf.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford364-86">[81]</a> On 4 August they survived a polar bear attack; two days later they reached the edge of the ice, and only water lay between them and the land. On 6 August they shot the last two dogs, converted the kayaks into a <a href="/wiki/Catamaran" title="Catamaran">catamaran</a> by lashing sledges and skis across them, and raised a sail.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford365–368-87">[82]</a> Nansen called this first land "Hvidtenland" ("White Island").<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen298Vol._II-88">[83]</a> After making camp on an <a href="/wiki/Ice_foot" class="mw-redirect" title="Ice foot">ice foot</a> they ascended a slope and looked about them. It was apparent that they were in an archipelago, but what they could see bore no relation to their incomplete map of Franz Josef Land.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford370-89">[84]</a> They could only continue south in the hopes of finding a geographical feature they could pinpoint with certainty. On 16 August Nansen tentatively identified a headland as Cape Felder, marked on Payer's maps as on the western coast of Franz Josef Land.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford373-90">[85]</a> Nansen's objective was now to reach a hut with supplies at a location known as Eira Harbour, at the southern end of the islands. An expedition led by <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Leigh_Smith" title="Benjamin Leigh Smith">Benjamin Leigh Smith</a> had constructed it in 1881.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECapelotti182-91">[86]</a> However, contrary winds and loose ice made further progress in the kayak hazardous, and on 28 August Nansen decided that, with another polar winter drawing near, they should stay where they were and await the following spring.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford375–379-92">[87]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="To_Cape_Flora">To Cape Flora</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Nansen%27s_Fram_expedition&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: To Cape Flora">edit</a>]</div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:WinterHutFJL.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Artist's impression: A full moon in a dark sky; on the ground a mound of snow with a small square opening indicates the hut, with an upturned sledge standing outside.

They excavated a hole three feet deep, raised walls around it using loose rocks and stones, and stretched walrus skins over the top to form a roof. A chimney was improvised using snow and walrus bones. This shelter, which they called "The Hole", was finally ready on 28 September, and was to be their home for the next eight months.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford378–383-93">[88]</a> Their situation was uncomfortable, but not life-threatening; there was a plentiful supply of bear, walrus and seal to stock up their larder. The chief enemy was boredom; to pass time they were reduced to reading Nansen's sailing almanac and navigation tables by the light of their blubber lamp, and then reading them again.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming259-94">[89]</a> At Christmas the pair celebrated with chocolate and bread from their sledging rations. On New Year's Eve Johansen recorded that Nansen finally adopted the familiar form of address, having until then maintained formalities ("Mr Johansen", "Professor Nansen") throughout the journey.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming259-94">[89]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford397–398-95">[90]</a> In the New Year they fashioned themselves simple outer clothing—smocks and trousers—from a discarded sleeping bag, in readiness for the resumption of their journey when the weather grew warmer. On 19 May 1896, after weeks of preparation, they were ready. Nansen left a note in the hut to inform a possible finder: "We are going south west, along the land, to cross over to Spitsbergen".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford403–404-96">[91]</a> For more than two weeks they followed the shoreline southwards. Nothing they saw seemed to fit with their rudimentary map of Franz Josef Land, and Nansen speculated whether they were in uncharted lands between Franz Josef Land and Spitsbergen. On 4 June a change in conditions allowed them to launch their kayaks for the first time since leaving their winter quarters. A week later, Nansen was forced to dive into the icy waters to rescue the kayaks which, still tied together, had drifted away after being carelessly moored. He managed to reach the craft and, with a last effort, to haul himself aboard. Despite his frozen condition he shot and retrieved two <a href="/wiki/Guillemot" title="Guillemot">guillemots</a> as he paddled the catamaran back.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford410–412-97">[92]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:CapeFloraMeeting.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Two men shake hands in the midst of a snowfield, with a dog sitting nearby.

On 17 June, as they prepared to leave again, Nansen thought he heard a dog bark and went to investigate. He then heard voices, and a few minutes later encountered a human being.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming261–262-98">[93]</a> It was Frederick Jackson, who had organised his own expedition to Franz Josef Land after being rejected by Nansen, and had based his headquarters at <a href="/wiki/Cape_Flora" class="mw-redirect" title="Cape Flora">Cape Flora</a> on <a href="/wiki/Northbrook_Island" title="Northbrook Island">Northbrook Island</a>, the southernmost island of the archipelago.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming261–262-98">[93]</a> Jackson's own account records that his first reaction to this sudden meeting was to assume the figure to be a shipwrecked sailor, perhaps from the expedition's supply ship Windward which was due to call that summer. As he approached, Jackson saw "a tall man, wearing a soft felt hat, loosely made, voluminous clothes and long shaggy hair and beard, all reeking with black grease". After a moment's awkward hesitation, Jackson recognised his visitor: "You are Nansen, aren't you?", and received the reply "Yes, I am Nansen."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJackson165–166-99">[94]</a> Johansen was rescued, and the pair taken to the base at Cape Flora, where they posed for photographs (in one instance re-enacting the Jackson–Nansen meeting) before taking baths and haircuts. Both men seemed in good health, despite their ordeal; Nansen had put on 21 pounds (9.5 kg) in weight since the start of the expedition, and Johansen 13 pounds (5.9 kg).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen468Vol._II-100">[95]</a> In honour of his rescuer, Nansen named the island where he had wintered "Frederick Jackson Island".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen476Vol._II-101">[96]</a> For the next six weeks Nansen had little to do but await the arrival of Windward, worrying that he might have to spend the winter at Cape Flora, and sometimes regretting that he and Johansen had not pressed on to Spitsbergen.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen490–492Vol._II-102">[97]</a> Johansen noted in his journal that Nansen had changed from the overbearing personality of the Fram days, and was now subdued and polite, adamant that he would never undertake such a journey again.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming263-103">[98]</a> On 26 July Windward finally arrived; on 7 August, with Nansen and Johansen aboard, she sailed south and on 13 August reached Vardø.

Nansen left precise instructions about keeping up the scientific work, especially the ocean depth soundings and the tests for the thickness of the ice. He concluded: "May we meet in Norway, whether it be on board of this vessel or without her."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen73–78Vol._II-105">[100]</a> Sverdrup's main task now was to keep his crew busy. He ordered a thorough <a href="/wiki/Spring_cleaning" title="Spring cleaning">spring cleaning</a>, and set a party to chip away some of the surrounding ice which was threatening to destabilise the ship. Although there was no immediate danger to Fram, Sverdrup oversaw the repair and overhaul of sledges, and the organisation of provisions should it after all be necessary to abandon ship and march to land. With the arrival of warmer weather as the 1895 summer approached, Sverdrup resumed daily ski practice.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford315–319-106">[101]</a> Amid these activities a full programme of meteorological, magnetic and oceanographic activities continued under Scott Hansen; Fram had become a moving oceanographic, meteorological and biological laboratory.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEThe_Nobel_Foundation_1922-5">[5]</a> As the drift proceeded the ocean became deeper; <a href="/wiki/Sounding_line" class="mw-redirect" title="Sounding line">soundings</a> gave successive depths of 6,000 feet (1,800 m), 9,000 and 12,000 feet (2,700 and 3,700 m), a progression which indicated that no undiscovered land mass was nearby.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming245-107">[102]</a> On 15 November 1895 Fram reached 85°55′N, only 19 nautical miles (35 km; 22 mi) below Nansen's Farthest North mark.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming252-108">[103]</a> From this point on, the drift was generally to the south and west, although progress was for long periods almost imperceptible. Inactivity and boredom led to increased drinking; Scott Hansen recorded that Christmas and New Year passed "with the usual hot punch and consequent hangover", and wrote that he was "getting more and more disgusted with drunkenness".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford423–428-109">[104]</a> By mid-March 1896, the position was 84°25′N, 12°50′E, placing the ship north of Spitsbergen. On 13 June a lead opened and, for the first time in nearly three years, Fram became a living ship. It was a further two months, on 13 August 1896, before she found open water and, with a blast from her cannon, left the ice behind.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford423–428-109">[104]</a> She had emerged from the ice just north and west of Spitsbergen, close to Nansen's original prediction, proving him right and his detractors wrong.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBerton498-110">[105]</a> Later that same day a ship was sighted—Søstrone, a <a href="/wiki/Seal_hunting" title="Seal hunting">seal hunter</a> from Tromsø. Sverdrup rowed across for news, and learned that nothing had been heard from Nansen. Fram called briefly at Spitsbergen, where the Swedish explorer-engineer <a href="/wiki/Salomon_Andr%C3%A9e" class="mw-redirect" title="Salomon Andrée">Salomon Andrée</a> was preparing for the balloon flight that he <a href="/wiki/S._A._Andr%C3%A9e%27s_Arctic_Balloon_Expedition_of_1897" class="mw-redirect" title="S.

The lack of news about Fram was preying on Nansen's mind; however, on 20 August he received news that Sverdrup had brought the ship to the tiny port of <a href="/wiki/Skjerv%C3%B8y_(village)" title="Skjervøy (village)">Skjervøy</a>, south of Hammerfest, and was now continuing with her to Tromsø.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford435–436-114">[109]</a> The next day, Nansen and Johansen sailed into Tromsø and joined their comrades in an emotional reunion.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFleming264–265-115">[110]</a> After days of celebration and recuperation the ship left Tromsø on 26 August. The voyage south was a triumphal procession, with receptions at every port.

This discovery would be developed by Nansen's pupil, <a href="/wiki/Vagn_Walfrid_Ekman" title="Vagn Walfrid Ekman">Vagn Walfrid Ekman</a>, who later became the leading oceanographer of his time.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKrishfield-122">[116]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEV._Walfrid_Ekman-123">[117]</a> From its programme of scientific observation the expedition provided the first detailed oceanographic information from the area; in due course the scientific data gathered during the Fram voyage would run to six published volumes.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEThe_Nobel_Foundation_1922-5">[5]</a> Throughout the expedition Nansen continued to experiment with equipment and techniques, altering the designs of skis and sledges and investigating types of clothing, tents and cooking apparatus, thereby revolutionising methods of Arctic travel.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENansen12–13Vol._II-124">[118]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford1–2-125">[119]</a> In the era of polar exploration which followed his return, explorers routinely sought Nansen's advice as to methods and equipment—although sometimes they chose not to follow it, usually to their cost.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERiffenburgh120-126">[120]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPreston216-127">[121]</a> According to Huntford, the South Pole heroes Amundsen, <a href="/wiki/Robert_Falcon_Scott" title="Robert Falcon Scott">Scott</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Ernest_Shackleton" title="Ernest Shackleton">Ernest Shackleton</a> were all Nansen's acolytes.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuntford1–2-125">[119]</a> Nansen's status was never seriously challenged, although he did not escape criticism. American explorer <a href="/wiki/Robert_Peary" title="Robert Peary">Robert Peary</a> wondered why Nansen had not returned to the ship when his polar dash was thwarted after a mere three weeks away. "Was he ashamed to go back after so short an absence, or had there been a row ... or did he go off for Franz Josef Land from sensational motives or business reasons?"<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHerbert13-128">[122]</a> Adolphus Greely, who had initially dismissed the entire expedition as infeasible, admitted that he had been proved wrong but nevertheless drew attention to "the single blemish"—Nansen's decision to leave his comrades hundreds of miles from land.

After years of drifting, debt and drunkenness he was given the opportunity, through Nansen's influence, to join Roald Amundsen's South Pole expedition in 1910. Johansen quarreled violently with Amundsen at the expedition's base camp, and was omitted from the South Pole party.
