LIEVI FIORITURE, LIEVE INGIALLIMENTO. Otto Neumann Sverdrup (Bindal, 31 ottobre 1854 – Oslo, 26 novembre 1930) è stato un esploratore norvegese. Fu con Fridtjof Nansen in due fra le più importanti spedizioni artiche: nel 1888 nell'attraversamento della sezione meridionale della Groenlandia da Est ad Ovest e nel periodo 1893-1896 al comando della nave Fram. Explorateur et marin norvégien, Otto Sverdrup (1854-1930) participa à plusieurs expéditions dans les régions de l'Arctique. Il fut l'une des trois grandes figures des expéditions polaires norvégiennes, aux côtés de Fridtjof Nansen et Roald Amundsen. The 2nd Fram expedition was supposed to last for three years. However, it lasted for four, which naturally caused a lot of anxiety back home. The three winters were spent on the South coast of Ellesmere island, firstly at Harbour Fjord -next to Grise Fjord- and then at Goose Fjord at the southwest corner of Ellesmere island. When the summer 1901 dit not melt the ice in Goose Fjord enough for the expedition to slip out, the fourth wintering became an unwelcome fact. [...] With great efficiency long sledge trips were mede over a large area during the four years. Unknown parts of Ellesmere island, Amun Ringnes island and Axel Heiberg island (the latter named after the expedition's sponsors) were successfully explored ans in all 200 000 km² of unknown land were surveyed, an area equal to southern Norway. Many of the Norwegian place names are still in use. The land was claimed in the name of the King of Norway by Sverdrup. Descrizione bibliografica Titolo: Quatre années dans les glaces du Pôle.
