nansen invented: skiing as an international craze (also neurobiology!)
his wife eva invented: SKI PANTS!

swedish pants! she is wearing them in the picture!

hmmm the pants in YOUR picture are possibly why nansen hurried north to spend several summers in a ship trapped in the ice

the picture at the top is darker than in the book -- it is my favourite but you can't really see it :(

haha ok i just read this bit: the fram's drift across the arctic frozen into the ice -- which was meant to take them to the north pole but didn't because the drift didn't go in that direction -- was SO BORING (they were stuck in the ice for THREE YEARS) that the ship's doctor deliberately got himself hooked on morphine JUST TO SEE IF HE COULD KICK IT

conclusion to experiment: he COULDN'T -- he remained a junkie for years after they got home!
