Excerpt from Life and Explorations of Fridtjof Nansen
The only cure for the Arctic fever is the discovery of the North Pole. If any one imagines that man is going to abandon this idea, should a few more lives be sacrificed in the pursuit of it, he is greatly mistaken. A goal at once so definite and so encompassed with mystery is sure to command human effort until it shall be reached, and never was mankind nearer to this consummation than at the present time. The operations of Arctic heroes, beginning with Sebastian Cabot and ending with Fridtjof Nansen, have gradually broken down the barriers that have stood for ages between restless man and his ambition.
