Fridtjof Nansen (1861 1930) was perhaps the greatest explorer of all time, a man who led the way in surmounting obstacles and ignoring regular conventions, as exemplified by his 1888 expedition to cross the Greenland ice-cap from east to west, without dogs or sledges. Like all of Nansen's expeditions, the Greenland project was simple and bold but required thorough preparation and planning. At the outset, the body of expert opinion condemned Nansen's plan as madness, arguing lhal without dogs and sledges it would be impossible to traverse the inland ice. Nevertheless, Nansen embarked upon his expedition and, after facing delays due to ice and weather, his expedition came ashore on the east coast of Greenland in August 1888. The journey across the ice cap was hazardous and exhausting in the extreme. Nansen's party had to climb nearly three thousand meters above sea-level, navigate through huge fissures in the ice and suffer temperatures that regularly plummeted be!owT minus forty degrees Celsius. Despite the adversities, Nansen* s team completed the descent to the west coast and through their expedition, made a decisive contribution to the scientific knowledge of the interior of Greenland, which many experts had mistakenlv believed to be free of ice.
