 | | As the polar ship ”Fram” was being built, Sverdrup was a ship inspector, and he had the idea as to how ”fram” should be rigged. |
 | | Sverdrup was captain on the voyage across the Arctic ocean, and even became expeditionleader when Fridtjof Nansen and Hjalmar Johansen launched their attempt to reach the north pole. |
 | | Hjalmar Johansen had the greatest respect for Otto Sverdrup, and characterized him in this way: ”This man, walking aboard, silently and calmly — noticed everything, spoke so little, but accomplished all the more.” |
