"Through his early whaling experiences and the 1888-9
Greenland expedition, Dr. Nansen became convinced
of a regular ice-drift from Alaska to Greenland.
Defying accepted opinion Nansen's audacious
plan was to allow his ship to be frozen in the ice-pack,
then drift in the ship across the Arctic.
In a vessel of his own design, weighing 400 tons and strong
enough to withstand the crushing ice, the expedition sailed
from Norway in June 1893. The 'Fram' successfully returned
home to Norway in August 1896."
