EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dr Nansens 'Farthest North'" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the world of polar exploration. The image captures a momentous expedition led by Dr Fridtjof Nansen, a renowned Norwegian explorer. The photograph showcases the stern of the ship Fram, which served as their vessel during this daring journey into uncharted territories. It was taken on 12 July 1894 amidst vast drift ice that dominated the polar regions during summer. The icy landscape creates a stark contrast against the dark hull of the ship. In this historic snapshot, we witness Dr Nansen and his companion Johansen standing proudly on deck, gazing towards their ultimate goal - reaching the farthest point north ever recorded at that time. Their determination and courage are palpable through their stoic expressions. The image not only encapsulates an extraordinary feat but also highlights the significance of photography as a medium for documenting such expeditions. This particular photograph was originally published in The Illustrated London News on 20 February 1897, further cementing its historical importance. As we observe this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported to an era where explorers like Dr Nansen pushed boundaries and ventured into unknown realms with unwavering resolve.
