THE MEETING OF JACKSON AND NANSEN

Descripción

Frederick George Jackson and his mens were contacted on 17 June 1896 by the Norwegian arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen and his companion Hjalmar Johansen, whom had not been heard of for three years and were presumed dead, who were trying to reach Spitsbergen by kayak. Jackson informed him that they were in fact on Franz Josef Land, and with Jackson's help, Nansen and Johansen were able to return home, departing aboard the Windward on 7 August 1896.
