This is a story about a great Norwegian researcher and traveler, about his fascinating life and the expeditions that made him famous.
Cheslav Zentkevich repeatedly took part in polar expeditions; he was also a great enthusiast, in love with the Arctic—so the theme of Nansen’s polar research and travels is very close and dear to the author.
The book is intended for a youth audience, that is, for the widest readership. It tells about the scientific problems that concerned Nansen and his contemporaries, fostering curiosity and interest in the natural sciences.
