The Fram
Impatient with the slow speed and erratic character of the drift, after 18 months Nansen and a chosen companion, Hjalmar Johansen, left the ship with a team of Samoyed dogs and sledges and made for the pole.

Nansen and Johnsen continued paddling, and on June 17 they landed on another island. Nansen decided to go for a hide and explore the island; he thought he heard a dog bark and a man’s voice. He caught sight of the man. It was Fredrick Jackson, the leader of the Royal Geographical Society's Jackson-Harmsworth Arctic expedition. Jackson and his crew had been exploring Franz Josef Land. He invited Nansen and Johansen to be his guests, and when the ‘Windward’ came to pick up some of Jackson’s crew, Nansen and Johansen sailed with them. . . . On August 13, 1896, they arrived in Norway, and eight days later Nansen read a telegram from Otto’s Sverdrup: “Fridtjor Nansen: ‘Fram’ arrived in good condition. All well on board. Shll start once for Tromso. . . . .
Nansen read the telegram over and over again before he could believe it was true, and he wrote, “and then there came a strange serene happiness over my mind such as I had never known before.” and on September 9 the ‘Fram’ with all her crew sailed up Christiania Fjord, and they were given an unforgettable welcome home. ~ Page 45
