Norwegians in Antarctica


 


The Norwegian exploration in Arntarctic waters started in the 1880s with  Sven Foyn.

Since then it has continued by means of ships, skis, dogs and planes until today with helicopters and scooters. Some were businesmen, others adventurers, but mostly they were serious scientists and, in the old days, hardworking sailors.
