This photo print, titled "Crossing a Crack in the Ice" takes us back to the late 19th century and immerses us in an extraordinary adventure. The image is from Fridtjof Nansen's book, "Farthest North, Vol. 2" published by Archibald Constable and Company in London in 1897.

As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of Nansen's incredible contribution to exploration literature and his pioneering spirit as an explorer himself. This image encapsulates not only the physical challenges faced but also captures the essence of human curiosity and resilience against all odds.
