Last night I watched a brilliant programme on BBC2 about Scott’s expedition to the South Pole. (It should be available on iplayer for UK viewers). Of course Roald Amundsen was mentioned – but until now I had no idea that Amundsen had sailed to Antarctica in the “Fram”. The very same “Fram” on which Nansen had been marooned in the North Polar ice. There’s a nice little Wikipedia entry about it, which also mentions AR and WH.
