Born on this day, 10 June 1865, happy day of birth to Frederick Albert Cook. 🥳💖 A true example of the American Dream, and a dreamer.

RIP hottie.
#OnThisDay in 1930, Fridtjof Nansen, Norwegian explorer, renowned scientist, statesman, diplomat and humanitarian, died of a heart attack. Today, Nansen's old mansion, Polhøgda, is home to the Fridtjof Nansen Institute, with his office left largely untouched. His desk chair is turned toward the window, facing the only direction Nansen ever knew—forward.
Nansen is famously known for leading a team of six on the first crossing of the Greenland ice cap in 1888 and achieving a farthest North record of 86°14′ during his North Pole expedition 1893-1896. Following WW1, Nansen also famously organised the repatriation of over 400,000 prisoners of war and in 1922 was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian efforts.
Nansen's legacy of polar travel, equipment and clothing innovation and travel techniques influenced a generation of Arctic and Antarctic explorers, including Shackleton, Scott, and Amundsen.

Would recommend Frederick Cook's book 'My Attainment of the Pole' to anyone interested in cooking and records. 👍
