	Bold Endeavors - Fridtjof Nansen

		Nansen developed special high-calorie rations and systematically tested every item of food; he developed and evaluated sledges, harnesses, protective clothing, and other equipment; and he invented solutions to equipment problems, such as the Nansen cooker, that were used by generations of polar travelers.
		The genius of Nansen's plan was to build a special ship for the expedition, rather than to convert an existing vessel; the ship would be designed to rise up out of the ice as the floes pressed against her hull, rather than to resist the full force of the pressure.
