The Fram Ship – OcCre 12011

History of the Polar Ship Fram

The Fram was an outstanding Norwegian ship designed to withstand the extreme conditions of polar expeditions at the end of the 19th century. Built in 1892, thanks to its reinforced construction, it was able to venture into the inhospitable regions of the Arctic and Antarctic. Under the command of the renowned explorer Fridtjof Nansen, Fram reached previously unexplored latitudes, playing a key role in the search for new routes through the glaciers. Later, the ship was used in the expeditions of explorer Otto Sverdrup, mapping uncharted areas of northern Canada, as well as in the legendary Roald Amundsen’s expeditions. Thanks to Fram, he became the first person to reach the South Pole in 1911.

Thanks to these achievements, Fram is regarded as one of the most famous ships in the history of polar expeditions.
