DAILY EDITION Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations NEXT Wednesday, May 14, 1930 CtfLElMATfiD EXPLOUEili Dr. Nansen died yesterday and the world lost a great man. The voyage which Dr. Nansen made to Greenland when he was a student indicated to him the .vast field for exploration and scientific study in that land arid In 1887 he began preparations for an expedition to cross the great ice fields that covered tjie interior of that, -country. The possibility of his success was discountenanced by many Arctic authorities of that time, resulting in the Norwegian government refusing him a small grant which he had requested. He,, however, paid the greater part .of the expenses from his own pocket. The expedition started in May, 1888, joining a sealing ship bound for the east coast of Greenland. Nansen and his five companions left the ship on July 17 to force a way through the ice belt to land about 10 miles distant. It took the party 12 days to reach their objective, in the meantime having been carried some distance south with the ice drift. They struck the west coast of Ameralik Fjord in September and upon reaching the settlement of Godthaab were obliged to spend the winter there. The party returned home in May, 1889. In 1890 Dr. Nansen conceived the idea of a polar expedition to cross the polar regions by getting his vessel fixed in the ice north of Eastern Siberia and drift with it. His theory was that a drift-current set across the regions from Bering Strait and the neighborhood of, the New Siberia Islands toward the coast of Greenland. His ulan, although adversely criticized, succeeded. The expedition sailed on the "Fram" June 24, 1893. In September the "Fram" was made fast to a floe in "78 degrees, 50 minutes; north lati tude. Shortly afterwards she was frozen in and the long unit began, liy Aiarcn loSto, the ship had reached 84 degrees, north, and Dr. Nansen decided to hiake an expedi tion northward on foot. Accompanied by Frederick-Hjal- mcr .Johansen, a lieutenant of the Norwegian army who had shipped as fireman on the "Fram," Dr. Nansen oh April 8 reached 86 degrees, 14 minutes, north, the highest latitude reached by mart to that time. From that point thev turned back and eventually reached Frederick Jackson Island in Franz Joseph Lahd, where they were compelled to spend the winter, remaining" from August, 1895, to May, 1896. They lived in a little stone hut and their only food was raw polar bear meat. After resuming their journey in Mav the two exhlorers fell in with the Jackson-Harmsworth expedition in June, 1896 and re turned to Norway with it, reaching home August 13. The "1- ram" followed into' port safely a week later.
