Description: I have here for sale two books entitled FRIDTJOF NANSEN'S "FARTHEST NORTH" being the Record of a Voyage of Exploration of the Ship "Fram" 1893-96 and of a Fifteen Month's Sleigh Journey by Dr Nansen and Lieut. Johansen with an Appendix by Otto Sverdrup, Captain of the Fram. Volumes I and II are for sale here. There are about 120 b/w plates and numerous in-text illustrations, one colour plate by the author and a large fold-0ut colour map at the start of Vol I. It was published by George Newnes, Ltd, London in 1898. Nansen led the team that made the first crossing of the Greenland interior in 1888, traversing the island on cross-country skis. He won international fame after reaching a record northern latitude of 86°14′ during his Fram expedition of 1893–1896. Although he retired from exploration after his return to Norway, his techniques of polar travel and his innovations in equipment and clothing influenced a generation of subsequent Arctic and Antarctic expeditions.Bound in the original dark blue cloth hardboards with gilt and white illustrated front boards with the title in gilt, red and white 'icy' lettering to the front and spine.
