A perfect example of how Swedes are completely pwned by Norwegians.
Swedes have Andrée and Vasa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_(ship) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_(ship)
and Norway has Amundsen/Nansen and Fram https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fram_(ship) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fram_(ship)
Exactly how they died is still an unsolved mystery.
Had they been Norwegians I bet they would have survived (like Nansen).
- mongol 4y agoHow would they have survived? If you put Nansen in Andrées shoes on the ice next to the failed balloon, his fate would have been just the same. The only way to have survived would have been to avoid the situation all together. Which would have been wise, but does not take someone like Nansen to do.
- fifilura 4y agoAre you even familiar with what Nansen did? He pretty much left his ship in the middle of the Arctic Ocean with a friend and a canoe, waiting for the ice to break. And wintered in a hut made of stones and walrus carcasses. Much further away from any civilization than Andrée, who landed in the Svalbard archipelago. I probably wouldn't survive either, but there are plenty of examples of explorers who can.
