(Arctic Bibliography, 11993) Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930) was a renowned Norwegian explorer, scientist, and diplomat who led the first successful expedition across Greenland's interior in 1888, making significant contributions to Arctic exploration. He later developed the Nansen Passport, a document that provided stateless refugees with legal protection, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922. Nansen also made notable contributions to oceanography and zoology, enhancing the understanding of the polar regions.
