How 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.
