One of my all-time heroes - Fridtjof Nansen at about 27 - just before
or after his ski crossing of Greenland in 1888

Gary Clark the morning after we climbed W. Face of Leaning Tower in 1975. It was a mighty hot and thirsty afternoon & evening, and a very dark trip off the backside, to get some creek water the night before.

Jim Bridwell, Flyn' Brian McCray, and myself in Alaska... I was 20 years old and standing with the giants and some peaks.

Jay, is that photo from the first sushifest, at Snow Canyon in April 2007? The one that you, Ed and 510OW didn't make because the latter had indigestion?
Reilly, sometime I'll show you my copy of "Fram Over Polhavet" (Farthest North), by Nansen. A first edition, in Norwegian. Inherited (as it were) from Leif Patterson.

Proud but disappointed I'd forgotten the flag to show atop Lassen.
(Yes, that object does appear to be some sort of Lockerian parapenalia.)
Mighty,
I would consider that a singular honor! (my company is Fram Services)
Shackelton and others were good and even great but none come close to Nansen IMHO.
I have a second edition of The First Crossing of Greenland; weak sauce compared to your treasure.
I do have a real rarity in my first edition of Øst for den store bre by Helge Ingstad. He led an expedition to Scoresby Sund and Eirik Raudes land from '32-33 to help bolster Norway's claim to East Greenland. Interestingly, I find not a whiff of his book or his trip anywhere on the english intardnet/Wikipedia. Of course, a search on no.yahoo.com brings up plenty.
