About me / Bio:
Hjalmar Johansen was a Norwegian polar explorer who participated on the first and third Fram expeditions. He shipped out with Fridtjof Nansen's expedition in 1893–1896, and accompanied Nansen to notch a new Farthest North record near the North Pole on what was then the frozen Arctic Ocean. He also joined Roald Amundsen's expedition to the South Pole in 1910–1912, but was sent back to the base camp after a conflict with Amundsen. He was an expert skier and dog driver, and a world champion in gymnastics. He had a troubled life after his polar adventures, struggling with alcoholism and depression. He died by suicide in 1913, shortly before Amundsen announced his success in reaching the South Pole. He was buried with honors and his grave is marked by a bust sculpted by Gustav Vigeland.
