Fram 171

In 2001 Josh Bertwistle and I had the pleasure of surveying two of the kayaks in the collection of the Fram Museum in Oslo, Norway.

Fram 171 is Hjalmar Johansen’s kayak. Two kayaks were built aboard the polarship Fram in 1895 and used by expedition leader Fridtjof Nansen and Fram crewmember Hjalmar Johansen in their attempt to reach the North Pole.
