Frammuseet (Fram Museum) and historic ship Gjøa, Bygdøy, Oslo, Norway

---

Fram Museum houses the original Fram, reckoned to be the strongest wooden ship ever built; she is unquestionably the most famous ship in the history of polar exploration. In 1893–6 she carried Nansen’s expedition to a ‘Farthest North’ unbeaten by a surface vessel for over a century; in 1910–11 she took Amundsen’s expedition to Antarctica for their successful journey to the South Pole. The 47 ton Gjøa was used by Amundsen for the successful traverse of the Northwest Passage .
