What reading level is Life And Explorations of Fridtjof Nansen book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nansen could not describe the joy of having turf and stones beneath their feet, of feeling the elastic heather on which they trod, and smelling the fragrance of grass and moss. Their first dinner off the ice was of berries, on which they literally gorged them- selves. At first they ate the berries standing, then ate them sitting, and then lying prone on the ground. Nansen says they " prolonged the debauch to incredible lengths. " When unable to use their hands from torpor, they gathered the ber...ries with their lips. Falling asleep at last from engorgement, they awoke only to resume their repast, until sleep again overtook them. Not one of the party suffered any ill effects from this excessive indulgence.
The descent from that point to Ameralikfjord on the west coast, which was reached on the 27th, was a pleasure trip in comparison with what the explorers had previously encountered. The camp was pitched on the bank of the fjord in the midst of heather and scrub, and all hands turned to the making of a small boat with such rough materials as willow twigs, theodolite stand, bamboo, and canvas sail.
