Polar Bear, Svalbard.
Looking to you in the eyes.
All the Arctic Ocean is endangered by the greed of powerful oil companies and states that want to see the polar ice melt for their commercial interests. All this beautiful wildlife will soon disappear.
Polar Bear on the ice, Svalbard.

While flying over, the vastness of this Arctic island archipelago can be overwhelming and its landscapes ethereal. This colossal amount of locked ice and snow in Svalbard's icecaps and glaciers are a significant water reservoir, with its size influencing regional climate patterns and sea levels. Documenting and photographing the landscape from above offers insights into glacial mechanics, climate history, and arctic ecology.
Melting ice, north of Svalbard.
Arctic sea.
All the Arctic area and its ecosystem is endangered by the unlimited greed of powerful oil companies and some states that want to see the polar ice melt for their commercial interests. All this beautiful wildlife and lanscapes will soon disappear.

Fritjof Nansen is looking at his ship Fram.
Olympus M.7-14mm F2.8
Nansen set out with a crew of 11 men to reach the North Pole by letting trapped the ship in the ice of the north, hoping they get drifted to the pole by strong sea and ice streams.The expedition took 3 years (1893-1896) and they returned safely. The North Pole was not reached by them due to a stream which drifted the ship not straight north but in direction of Franz-Josef Land, located south-east to the pole, north of Nowaja Semlja.The expedition was exactly planned and prepared, the ship was able to get lifted up by the ice pressure instead of getting crushed by it. For that the hull planking had a special smooth construction which worked as it should do. Later, Roald Amundsen used this famous and sophisticated ship for further expeditions.
Nowadays the "Fram (norwegian, meaning "ahead !")" and a lot of items belonging to these expeditions could be visited in the amazing museum of the same name, situated on Bigdøy Island in the Oslo fjord, the island which was passed by the Fram at the beginning of the expedition.
