text: Nansen greets Frederick George Jackson 15 months after Nansen and Hjalmar Johansen left the Fram to ski to the North Pole. They skied as far as 86°13.6′N and then turned back. A chance meeting brought them in contact with Jackson, who took them back to Norway from where they met in Frans Josef Land in Russia. The pair were reunited with the Fram in August,1896.
