To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This expedition was undertaken in June, 1893, and its object was todrift across the pole from Siberia to Greenland.
During Nansen's Arctic experiences he had noticed that the shores ofGreenland were strewn with driftwood of a kind also found on the shoresof Siberia.
The matter caused him some deep thought, and at length he arrived at theconclusion that there must be a current which crosses the Arctic Oceanand carries this material from Asia to America.
After much thought, he came to the conclus...ion that if he could onlybuild himself a vessel which would withstand the pressure of the ice, and once get into the stream, he and his vessel would be carried withthe rest of the drift from Asia to America, and in the course of thetrip would be borne right across the North Pole.
It was a bold scheme, and for a time no one would listen to it, butNansen's reputation stood him in good stead here, and finally convincedpeople that he must have a good foundation for his belief.
With the aid of a few wealthy persons and the assistance of the King ofSweden, Nansen was able to have a suitable vessel built, and to makepreparations for the undertaking.
