On March 14, 1895, Fridtjof Nansen and Hjalmar Johansen left the Fram expedition ship and began their attempt to ski to the North Pole. They had two winters in the Arctic Ocean behind them, but the ship was unable to reach the Pole as they had hoped.

When the men went out with 27 dogs and three sledges they used old clothes, heavy wooden skis and solid ski poles. Last week, Johannes Breivik, Erika Gjelsvik, Johanne Jærijærvi and Elias Damli began their attempt to try the same feat with such equipment.

"The clothes are warmer than I thought, but then again, it's not very cold out today," said John while squinting in the minus three degrees Celsius cold at the foot of Sarkofagen.
