WikiProject Echo has identified Fridtjof Nansen as a foreign language featured article. You may be able to improve this article with information from the French language Wikipedia. |
Perhaps there should be some mention of his book In Northern Mists, and his studies in history and archaeology.
Also, some words about his achievements as an athlete. Skiing was the basis of his polar expedition, he participated in the Huseby/Holmenkollen skiing meets, and at least at one instance he also proved an excellent speed skater. His writings were important in the establishment of skiing as Norway's national sport.
The whole expedition section makes no sense and appears as though it was translated from some other language into English by a very poor computer program and pasted into the article. Someone who knows something about the expedition should rewrite the section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.224.228.136 (talk) 04:08, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
