	Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center
		Nansen adopted an expedition philosophy in direct opposition to the conventional wisdom of his time: he started from the unpopulated, hostile east coast of Greenland where retreat was impossible, rather than from the milder, inhabited west coast as earlier explorers had attempted.
		As a scientist, Nansen was much aware of the need for precise and exact measurements, and during his later oceanographic investigations he found that some of the oceanographic measurements on the FRAM drift were not of sufficient precision.
		Nansen was a strong supporter of international cooperation in oceanography and was one of the founding fathers of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) in 1902.

		Over by Fridtjof Nansen we could not go; this mountain here rose perpendicularly, in parts quite bare, and formed with the glacier a surface so wild and cut up that all thoughts of crossing the ice-field in that direction had to be instantly abandoned.
		Mounts Hanssen, Wisting, Bjaaland, and Hassel formed, as we had thought the day before, a group by themselves, and lay separated from the main range.
		But the most remarkable of them all was Mount Helmer Hanssen; its top was as round as the bottom of a bowl, and covered by an extraordinary ice-sheet, which was so broken up and disturbed that the blocks of ice bristled in every direction like the quills of a porcupine.

		Mount Helmer Hansen was the most remarkable of them all; it was 12,000 feet high, and covered by a glacier so rugged that in all probability it would have been impossible to find foothold on it.
		Moreover, Professor Nansen, in his direct and convincing way, has put an end once for all to this twaddle, so that I need not dwell upon it any longer.
		This was our canary "Fridtjof." It was one of the many presents made to the expedition, and not the least welcome of them.

	Mount Nansen
		Mount Nansen is located near the eastern end of the Dawson Range.
		Name Notes: Named after Fridtjof Nansen, a norwegian explorer who made the first serious attempt to reach the north Pole.
		When after more than one year in the ice it became apparent that Fram would not reach the North Pole, Nansen, accompanied by Hjalmar Johansen (1867—1913), continued north on foot and, in April 1895, reached 86° 14´ N, the highest latitude then attained.

		Evidence from the DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN surveys, which represent a good coverage of the various seasons, indicated that the alongshore seasonal shifts in distribution, although clearly present, had perhaps more characteristics of displacements within a limited range along the coast than of long-distance migrations.
		The DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN surveys in 1981–82 coincided with the culmination of the triggerfish stocks, while those in 1986 and 1989 with their decline and collapse.
		The DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN survey in 1992 was limited to the Guinea-Bissau shelf, which was a main distributional area for the western stock of triggerfish in 1981/82 and 1986.

		Greenland, located to the east of the Canadian Archipelago, is also rugged, rising to a high point of 3,700 m (12,139 ft) at Mount Gunnbjorn on the east coast.
		In 1893, Nansen and Sverdrup sailed the Fram into the Arctic Ocean pack ice off the New Siberian Islands and allowed the ship, frozen into the ice, to drift for three years across the ocean.
		Nansen left the icebound Fram in 1895 and, with Hjalmar Johansen, traveled northward by dogsled and kayak in an unsuccessful effort to reach the North Pole.

		On the 12th we reached 84° S. On that day we made the interesting discovery of a chain of mountains running to the east; this, as it appeared from the spot where we were, formed a semicircle, where it joined the mountains of South Victoria Land.
		We could now see that the two mountain ranges uniting in 86° S. were continued in a mighty chain running to the south-east, with summits from 10,000 to 15,000 feet.
