Into the ice : the history of Norway and the polar regions



Norway was not seen as a polar nation until Fridtjof Nansen's expedition in 1888. His journey across Greenland on skis marked the beginning of Norway's involvement in polar exploration. The book "Into the Ice" explores legendary expeditions by Nansen, Roald Amundsen, and Otto Sverdrup, showing how Norwegians became prominent in polar research. With the International Polar Year 2007-2008, focus has returned to the Polar Regions due to climate change impacts. Norway has played a significant role in polar research and politics since its early expeditions. The legacy of past explorers serves as inspiration for today's scientists working to address pressing scientific questions.
