Johansen's eye-witness account of Nansen's daring 1893-6 Arctic expedition appeared in Norwegian in 1898, and in this English translation in 1899. It describes Nansen's attempt to drift north in a deliberately ice-bound ship and then ski to the North Pole, and the dangers and challenges of their three-year journey.
