Fridtjof Nansen, a Norwegian polymath and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was renowned for his accomplishments as an explorer, scientist, diplomat, and humanitarian. He led groundbreaking expeditions, such as the first crossing of the Greenland interior and the Fram expedition, which achieved a record northern latitude. As a zoologist and curator, his research on marine creatures led to a doctorate and contributed to the neuron doctrine. Nansen played a significant role in Norway’s independence, served as a diplomat, and devoted his later years to refugee advocacy with the League of Nations.
