Prepare to journey into the icy realms of Arctic and Antarctic exploration in this chilling episode of History Rage. Host Paul Bavill is joined by historian and author Mark Piesing, as they dive into the frosty depths of polar exploration history beyond the well-trodden tales of Scott and Shackleton. Mark, the author of "N4 Down: The Hunt for the Arctic Airship Italia," brings a fresh perspective on the lesser-known explorers who braved the harsh polar climates.Episode Highlights:- Mark Piesing's Journey: Mark shares his unconventional path to becoming a historian and his passion for uncovering overlooked stories in aviation and polar exploration.- The Overlooked Explorers: Discover the stories of Fridtjof Nansen, Elisha Kent Kane, and Louise Boyd, among others, who made significant contributions to polar exploration yet remain in the shadows of their British counterparts.- The Global Race to the Poles: Explore the motivations and challenges faced by explorers from various nations, including the Norwegians, Italians, and Russians, in their quests for polar glory.- The Role of Aviation: Delve into how aviation pioneers like Roald Amundsen transformed polar exploration, challenging the traditional narratives dominated by sledges and dog teams.- The Shackleton and Scott Obsession: Mark passionately critiques the overemphasis on Shackleton and Scott in British polar history, advocating for a broader recognition of international contributions.Join us for an eye-opening exploration of polar history that challenges the conventional narratives and highlights the diverse and daring figures who ventured into the unknown.

En la primavera 1892, Fridtjof Nansen, explorador noruego, partió con su buque rumbo hacia el Polo Norte con el propósito de convertirse en el primer hombre en poner sus pies sobre estas tierras. Dejando que su buque fuera arrastrado a la deriva, consiguió con éxito hacer realidad su arriesgada y peligrosa hazaña. Las valiosas técnicas de supervivencia que Nansen ingenió y puso en práctica durante su viaje todaví­a son utilizadas hoy en dí­a, y sus fundamentos para el estudio de las corrientes de los océanos del planeta son aplicados por la NASA en la actualidad.

Looking for a way to battle the heat? Fridtjof Nansen's diaries from his North Pole expedition might help you cool down! In 1893, Nansen and his crew took off on a small ship that was supposed to withstand the main problem of polar explorers at the time - getting viciously crushed by the ice. Listen to find out whether they succeeded!

Fridtjof Nansen es uno de los ciudadanos noruegos más destacados de todos los tiempos. Su labor como científico permitió obtener valiosos datos sobre el Océano Ártico y por su actividad como diplomático se le concedió el Premio Nobel de la Paz. Nansen fue el primer hombre en cruzar los 500 kilómetros del campo de hielo de Groenlandia sobre esquís. Años más tarde a bordo del legendario “Fram” comprobó la existencia de una corriente marina que fluía de este a oeste, en todo el océano Ártico.

This episode originally aired on January 27, 2021.Krill eyeballs. The werewolf effect. Diel vertical migration. Arctic marine biologists really talk about these things. There's a reason for that — when it comes to the polar night, when humans see only velvety darkness, krill eyeballs see things a little differently. And when the sun has been gone for months, during the darkest periods of the polar night, the moon does unexpected things to marine organisms. Learn more about what biologists are figuring out about the workings of the polar night — and what it means at a time when the Arctic is warming at a breakneck pace. Our guests for this episode were Jørgen Berge, Geir Johnsen, Laura Hobbs and Jonathan H. Cohen. You can see a transcript of the episode here. Fridtjof Nansen's book about his Arctic expedition is called Farthest North. You can also read about the other influences his pioneering journey had on science here. You can also read about Geir Johnsen's different research projects in a series of articles from Norwegian SciTech News. The findings of the polar night team are so surprising that they actually wrote a textbook about it, edited by Jørgen Berge, Geir Johnsen and Jonathan H. Cohen. The book is titled Polar Night Marine Ecology: Life and Light in the Dead of Night.Here are some of the polar night research articles:Berge, J., Renaud, P. E., Darnis, G. et al.

Del 4. Tidlig på 1920-tallet utmerket Vidkun Quisling seg, ved å bedrive nødhjelpsarbeid i Ukraina sammen med polarhelten Fridtjof Nansen. Men da han vendte hjem til Norge fikk familien hans seg en overraskelse. Vidkun hadde nemlig giftet seg, med ikke bare én, men to kvinner! Sammen med de to konene levde han deretter en omflakkende tilværelse, mens han jobbet med humanitært arbeid og filosoferte om romvesener. Ja, du leste riktig -  romvesener… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

9. april fortsetter Litteratur på Blå samarbeidet med poeten ariel rosé, og inviterer til en kveld viet to armenske poeter, Tatev Chakhian og Anush Kocharyan. Chakhian bor i eksil i Polen, mens Kocharyan bor i Jerevan, Armenias hovedstad. De to poetene er diktere med ulik bakgrunn og familiehistorier. Armenia er et land med en århundre lang historie med utfordringer og traumer i sin biografi. I Norge er verken landet eller litteratur fra Armenia særlig kjent, selv om norske Fridtjof Nansen til sammenligning har spilt en stor rolle i det armenske folkets historie. Chakhian og Kocharyan skriver, blant annet, om fjellbakgrunn og det å være i eksil. De bærer på historier om at de ikke hører hjemme noe sted eller også at de tilhører mange steder samtidig. På Litteratur på Blå blir det snakk om dette, og hva som går tapt i oversettelser, når man er mellom flere språk. Hvordan påvirker det et forfatterskap å kommer fra et lite land, men med en så lang og rikfoldig historie som Armenias? Til anledningen har ariel rosé og Aina Villanger oversatt dikt av poetene. Disse vil bli presentert for første gang til et norsk publikum, fra scenen på Blå. Samtalen foregår på engelsk. Vi skal lese dikt på armensk, engelsk og norsk.

Er ist einer der großen Polarforscher, doch das wird dem Leben von Fridtjof Nansen nicht einmal ansatzweise gerecht: Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts durchquert der Norweger als Erster das eisige Innere Grönlands, bald darauf gelingt ihm eine Expedition fast bis zum Nordpol. Später, während des ersten Weltkriegs, organisiert er umfangreiche Hilfen gegen die Hunger- und Flüchtlingskatastrophen. 1922 hilft er staatenlosen Flüchtlingen mit dem von ihm erdachten ?Nansen-Pass?. Von Sebastian Kirschner (BR 2020)

Slik blir Podkastens Villmarksliv påskespesial 2024For tredje år på rad byr Podkasten Villmarksliv på en serie podkastepisoder med kobling til villmarksliv, polare områder, jakt og sportsfiske. I 2022 viet vi påskespesialene til norske polarhelter som Fridtjof Nansen og Roald Amundsen. I for var vi innom flere nåværende og historiske eventyrere. Randulf Valle snakket om Hjalmar Dale, Odd Harald Hauge snakket om polare tragedier og Sigrid Sandberg snakket om polarheltinner.Fra Hans Børli til Jens MunkI år får du fire bonusepisoder med oppstart på skjærtorsdag. Vi skal innom «skogens dikter», Hans Børli. Vi skal snakketom en relativt ukjent dansk-norsk polarhelt; Jens Munk og hans ekstreme ekspedisjon for å finne Nordvestpassasjen – der kun tre av et mannskap på 64 fant veien hjem.Flygeren som skjøt ned GöringVi har også besøk av Herman Gran, som snakker om sin far Tryggve Gran (1888–1980) – et multitalent som deltok i Norges første landskap mot Sverige og muligvis var den som skjøt ned Hermann Göring under kamper i 1. verdenskrig.Og ikke minst skal vi inn om Eivind Astrup. Her har vi besøk av navnebror og grandnevø, Eivind Astrup, som forteller historien om sin grandonkel.Podkasten Villmarksliv – Påskespesial 202428. mars 2024: Hans Børli29. mars 2024: Jens Munk30. mars 2024: Eivind Astrup31. mars 2024: Tryggve GranLytt gjerne til episoden seriene Norske eventyrere og eventyrlige historier fra påsken 2022 og påsken 2023.Her kan du lytte til Podkasten Villmarksliv:SpotifyPodkaster for iPhoneGoogle PodcastsStøtt Podkasten Villmarksliv ved å abonner på Villmarksliv.

Norske medier og norske politikere har brukt Gaza-krigen til å akselerere en pro-palestinsk linje som har vært fulgt lenge. Nå synes regjeringen å ha kommet frem til en konklusjon: De skal gå i spissen for å tukte Israel. Vi får med oss at 15 EU-land følger samme boikott, men Norge som Oslo-avtalens hjemland har et særlig ansvar. Nordmenn tror at dagens boikott er en fortsettelse av Oslo-avtalen. Det er det ikke. Den som kan belyse norsk Midtøsten-politikk er Per Antonsen som har arbeidet ved Fridtjof Nansen-senteret og i Miljøverndepartementet som internasjonal forhandler.

Following on from an earlier podcast we did about preparing for Antarctica, in this week's episode we reveal what it's like once you're there. Having recently returned from the southernmost continent, Penny Thomas chats with Stephen Scourfield about her travels and what the experience was like on Hurtigruten's MS Fridtjof Nansen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Le passeport Nansen doit son nom à l'explorateur norvégien Fridtjof Nansen, qui fut le premier Haut-Commissaire aux réfugiés de la Société des Nations. Il crée ce document diplomatique, en 1922, à l'intention des Russes qui, après la répression et la famine qui ont suivi la Révolution bolchevique de 1917, souhaitent quitter leur pays.Leurs déplacement sont en effet difficiles, dans la mesure où, les autorités de la Russie soviétique les ayant déchus de leur nationalité, ils sont devenus des apatrides. Le passeport leur est remis par l'Office international Nansen pour les réfugiés, un organisme dépendant de la Société des Nations.Par la suite, le bénéfice du passeport Nansen sera étendu à d'autres minorités persécutées, comme les Arméniens fuyant le génocide de 1924. Supprimé en 1946, le passeport Nansen aura été attribué à quelque 450.000 personnes.Certains Russes, aujourd'hui, voudraient remettre à l'honneur un passeport qui, voilà un siècle, a permis à des milliers de leurs concitoyens, munis d'un document d'identité reconnu, de s'installer dans un autre pays et d'y retrouver du travail.Ils ne fuient plus les violences de la Révolution bolchevique, mais les exigences d'une guerre dont ils ne reconnaissent pas la légitimité. Ainsi, de nombreux Russes ont quitté leur pays, certains dès l'annexion de la Crimée, en 2014.L'entrée en guerre avec l'Ukraine, en février 2022, et l'enlisement d'un conflit qui s'éternise, en ont conduit toujours plus sur les chemins de l'exil.L'idée de redonner vie au passeport Nansen, ou à un document similaire, est venue d'un groupe de réfugiés russes installés en Slovaquie. Ils demandent notamment que cette suggestion soit présentée aux autorités européennes.Des Russes célèbres, comme les compositeurs Serge Rachmaninov ou Igor Stravinsky, ou encore la danseuse Anna Pavlova, ont obtenu un passeport Nansen.

Los hielos árticos conforman el paisaje más desolado e inhóspito del planeta, pero al mismo tiempo atraen poderosamente a científicos y aventureros desde hace siglos. El Polo Norte, esta vasta región de mar congelado ha sido escenario de gestas y dramas en la época heroica de la exploración polar. Cientos de barcos y miles de navegantes se perdieron en el empeño de abrir nuevas rutas para conquistar el inasible punto atravesado por el eje de rotación terrestre.La expedición del británico John Franklin, engullida por el hielo en su intento de descubrir el paso del Noroeste, impulsó decenas de misiones de rescate, que acabaron tornando en una carrera por plantar la bandera respectiva en el Polo Norte. Se atacó la banquisa por diversas rutas, pero fue cuando el noruego Fridtjof Nansen ideó un buque, el Fram, capaz de superar el invierno ártico sin ser aplastado por el hielo marino, cuando empezaron a mejorar las posibilidades de éxito. La prensa jugó un destacado papel, tanto emocionando al público como en calidad de patrocinadora de exploradores, aunque la ética no siempre primó sobre los intereses comerciales. Fue el caso de los estadounidenses Robert Peary y Frederick Cook, que nunca llegaron al polo pese a proclamar haberlo conseguido en 1909 y 1908 respectivamente; sus falsas gestas fueron defendidas y difundidas por los periódicos que las financiaron.Los primeros humanos que sobrevolaron sin sombra de duda el punto de latitud 90º norte fueron los tripulantes del dirigible Norge, en una travesía ideada por el noruego Roald Amundsen y pilotada por el italiano Umberto Nobile en 1926. Hubo que esperar hasta 1948 para que el explorador soviético Aleksandr Kuznetsov lo pisara físicamente.En las últimas décadas el interés científico ha aumentado de forma proporcional a la pérdida de hielo como consecuencia del cambio climático. La aceleración del proceso es muy preocupante; pronto tendremos veranos con el océano Glacial Ártico completamente líquido, un escenario que agravará la perturbación de las corrientes marinas y la fauna subacuática, así como el calentamiento global. Paradójicamente, el drama ambiental beneficiará a potencias como Rusia y China por la apertura de nuevas rutas de navegación.El documental de Álvaro Soto Polo Norte, la llamada del extremo recorre la apasionante historia de su exploración con la ayuda del catedrático de geografía de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Eduardo Martínez de Pisón, el físico y explorador Javier Cacho y el divulgador Javier Peláez. Además, pone el foco sobre la única expedición española que ha alcanzado el polo boreal desde Siberia, organizada por el programa de Televisión Española Al filo de lo imposible en 1999 en colaboración con el Grupo Militar de Alta Montaña. La recuerdan el creador y director del espacio, Sebastián Álvaro, y el líder de aquel histórico desafío, el teniente general Curro Gan. Intervienen también en el documental dos científicas del Instituto de Ciencias del Mar del CSIC: la delegada del comité Internacional de Ciencias del Ártico Carolina Gabarró y la ecóloga microbiana Vanessa Balagué.Escuchar audio

Comment passe-t-on de champion de ski à Prix Nobel de la Paix ? De héros polaire à créateur d'un statut pour les réfugiés ? C'est la question à laquelle s'efforce de répondre l'écrivain français Alexis Jenni, auteur d'une réjouissante biographie consacrée à l'explorateur norvégien passé diplomate. Héros dans son pays la Norvège, Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930) occupe une place de choix dans le panthéon des grands explorateurs pionniers des Pôles. À son palmarès, on peut notamment citer sa traversée à ski de 1888, la première d'est en ouest du Groënland alors que son cœur, l'inlandsis est encore largement inexploré. Aussi et surtout, Nansen a été le chef d'expédition tenace et visionnaire à l'initiative de la folle odyssée de 3 ans du Fram, un navire enserré dans la glace et conçu spécialement à cet effet. Cette expédition va alors mettre à jour la dérive transpolaire et l'existence d'un fort courant marin sur l'océan Arctique. Après de tels exploits, le Norvégien épris d'aventures, de sciences et d'idéaux va ensuite mettre en place, au sortir de la Première Guerre Mondiale, le passeport Nansen : un document unique qui va représenter la première véritable mesure de protection des réfugiés dans l'histoire du droit international et sauver pour ainsi dire des milliers de vies.Dans les nombreux portraits sépia qui existent de Fridtjof Nansen, il apparaît toujours impeccable, le regard perçant, direct, jamais fuyant, laissant deviner une personnalité sûre d'elle, sérieuse, un brin austère peut-être. Dans ses écrits et journaux de bord, il exprime par contre une vraie sensibilité pour l'environnement arctique, ses lumières, la force de ses paysages comme pour les Inuits qui les peuplent. Toute sa vie, il va d'ailleurs louer le génie autochtone et s'inspirer pour ses expéditions de leurs techniques de vie en milieu polaire tout en condamnant les méfaits de la colonisation. Figure romanesque, romantique et engagée, l'explorateur est donc loin du monolithe héroïque qu'on a voulu forger à son sujet. Une dualité riche, complexe et une trajectoire de vie hors du commun qui mérite le voyage.  Une rencontre avec Alexis Jenni, auteur de « Le Passeport de Monsieur Nansen » initialement diffusée le 26 mars 2023. À lire :- « Le passeport de Monsieur Nansen », d'Alexis Jenni.

Odd Nansen, sønn av polfareren Fridtjof Nansen, er en frittalende og humoristisk fyr som gjerne vil hjelpe mennesker på flukt. Men når 2. verdenskrig kommer, legger han seg ut med blant andre Quisling, og det priviligerte livet tar en kraftig vending. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Im Juli 1905 reiste Fridtjof Nansen von Norwegen in die dänische Hauptstadt, um dort den dänischen Prinzen davon zu überzeugen, norwegischer König zu werden. Nansen, der Polarforscher hat nämlich nicht nur als erster Mensch Grönland durchquert und versucht, den Nordpol zu erreichen. Der Norweger war auch ein berühmter Befürworter der norwegischen Unabhängigkeit, das bislang in Personalunion vom schwedischen König regiert wurde. Und Nansen setzte nicht nur in der Erforschung des arktischen Eismeers neue Maßstäbe: Als Diplomat und Botschafter war er unter anderem für den Völkerbund tätig, führte den ersten international gültigen Ausweis für Staatenlose ein und erhielt 1922 den Friedensnobelpreis. Wir sprechen über die außergewöhnliche Biographie von Fridtjof Nansen und warum die schwedische Königsdynastie auf einen französischen Revolutionsgeneral zurückgeht. //Literatur Roland Huntford: „Nansen: The Explorer as Hero“, 2001.

INFRA est en vacances pour deux semaines et revient dès le 18 septembre avec de nouveaux épisodes !Dans l'intervalle, pour faire suite à l'épisode sur le Hum, je vous propose de découvrir le Bloop, un autre son mystérieux dont l'histoire est ici racontée par Julie Kern.1997. Des profondeurs des océans, un bloop mystérieux est capté par les hydrophones des scientifiques. Monstre marin ? Faille sous-marine ? Cité perdue ? Quelle est donc la source de ce son étrange, dont l'origine est indéniablement biologique ?

The Big Nansen Ski JumpRegion: Berlin, The Great North WoodsThe Nansen Ski Club was founded in 1872 and is one of the oldest ski clubs in the United States. The club is named after Fridtjof Nansen, a Norwegian explorer, scientist, and humanitarian. Between 1936-1938, the Big Nansen was the world's tallest ski jump and was the site of the first ever ski jumping Olympic trials in 1938 and the FIS World Championships in 1939 which attracted more than 25,000 spectators who traveled to the Great North Woods navigating small windy backroads and snow trains. More than 87 radio stations broadcasted the event live. The jump eventually hosted four U.S. National Ski Jumping Championships, a North American Championship, Eastern Championships, and numerous international competitions before holding its last event in March of 1985.In 2017, former World Champion ski jumper Sarah Hendrickson, who has family in Plymouth, NH, decided to join the effort to revive the Big Nansen. She convinced her sponsor, Red Bull Energy Drink, to re-deck the jump for one “Last Leap.” On the morning of March 4th, 2017, Hendrickson launched off of the Big Nansen, symbolizing the beginning of a new era for the jump. Even now, with restorative efforts, enthusiasts say the jump is one of the scariest they've ever experienced—it sways with the wind!Read more about Hendrickson's jumpIn this episode of the 603podcast, Dan Egan sits down with guest Scott Halvorson to discuss the history and culture of the Big Nansen Ski Jump.

With his height, flowing blond hair and most often being barefoot, Dennis Shives is among the most singular, and representative, of Ojai's citizens. Ojai born and raised, Dennis has made his living as an artist - both musician and visual artist - ever since. He claims inspiration from his grandmother, who taught art until age 91. His career was honored with a very memorable retrospective of his seven decades in art at the Ojai Valley Museum in 2017. (See Mark Lewis article, OQ Fall 2017). His life may be his greatest work of art. He's worked with sculpture, silver and gold smithing, painting and "whatever else intrigued him," according to the feature, including memorable 4th of July parade floats. His most recent project was to recreate the solar system for Earth Day celebrations, with schoolchildren acting out the part of the planets, asteroids, comets and sun. We talked about Ojai's essential identity as a haven for experimentation and discovery, making a living as an artist, his lifelong fascination with bears and the changes that have overtaken Ojai in the past few years. We did not talk about Major League Baseball's new rules, the expeditions of Fridtjof Nansen or the famous yellow ceramic glaze of Otto Heino. Check out Dennis' work at DennisShivesArt.wordpress.com.

The Doctor meets many remarkable people on his travels - those at the forefront of innovation and exploration. From a deep-space colony ship seeking safe haven, to the frozen Arctic wastes, and the foundation of ideas which will touch the lives of millions - the Doctor is there to lend a hand to the human race's greatest pioneers! 1.1 The Green Gift by Roy Gill Seeking a new home for Callen and Doyle, the Doctor lands on a vast spacecraft: The Greenwood. The ship is nearing the end of its long journey but what is the price of this voyage? Who is really in charge? And what legacies from Old Earth might be travelling with them? 1.2 Northern Lights by Robert Valentine The Doctor crashes to Earth and finds himself in the Arctic - but not quite alone. The Aurora Borealis are even more unearthly than usual... Intrepid explorer Fridtjof Nansen is trying to get home as alien forces close in. The Doctor knows Nansen has a part to play in history - can he save the future? 1.3 The Beautiful Game by Katharine Armitage The Doctor decides to treat himself and attend the historic meeting which founds the football league. But he arrives a week early! Instead, he must enlist the help of a hotel maid to battle an obsessive alien before it consumes everything that will ever be connected to the beautiful game...    

Comment passe-t-on de champion de ski à Prix Nobel de la Paix ? De héros polaire à créateur d'un statut pour les réfugiés ? C'est la question à laquelle s'efforce de répondre l'écrivain français Alexis Jenni, auteur d'une réjouissante biographie consacrée à l'explorateur norvégien passé diplomate. Héros dans son pays la Norvège, Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930) occupe une place de choix dans le panthéon des grands explorateurs pionniers des Pôles. À son palmarès, on peut notamment citer sa traversée à ski de 1888, la première d'est en ouest du Groënland alors que son cœur, l'inlandsis est encore largement inexploré. Aussi et surtout, Nansen a été le chef d'expédition tenace et visionnaire à l'initiative de la folle odyssée de 3 ans du Fram, un navire enserré dans la glace et conçu spécialement à cet effet. Cette expédition va alors mettre à jour la dérive transpolaire et l'existence d'un fort courant marin sur l'océan Arctique. Après de tels exploits, le Norvégien épris d'aventures, de sciences et d'idéaux va ensuite mettre en place, au sortir de la Première Guerre Mondiale, le passeport Nansen : un document unique qui va représenter la première véritable mesure de protection des réfugiés dans l'histoire du droit international et sauver pour ainsi dire des milliers de vies.Dans les nombreux portraits sépia qui existent de Fridtjof Nansen, il apparaît toujours impeccable, le regard perçant, direct, jamais fuyant, laissant deviner une personnalité sûre d'elle, sérieuse, un brin austère peut-être. Dans ses écrits et journaux de bord, il exprime par contre une vraie sensibilité pour l'environnement arctique, ses lumières, la force de ses paysages comme pour les Inuits qui les peuplent. Toute sa vie, il va d'ailleurs louer le génie autochtone et s'inspirer pour ses expéditions de leurs techniques de vie en milieu polaire tout en condamnant les méfaits de la colonisation. Figure romanesque, romantique et engagée, l'explorateur est donc loin du monolithe héroïque qu'on a voulu forger à son sujet. Une dualité riche, complexe et une trajectoire de vie hors du commun qui mérite le voyage.  Avec Alexis Jenni, auteur de « Le Passeport de Monsieur Nansen ». À lire :- « Le passeport de Monsieur Nansen », d'Alexis Jenni.

Tiens, il neige ! Cela te donne envie de faire une petite balade ? Alors, sors tes skis et suis Julien, il t'explique comment est née cette invention… Des humains préhistoriques à ski ?  Les premiers skis sont apparus entre la Finlande, l'Estonie et la Russie, il y a environ 8 000 ans. Dans cette région, la neige est très épaisse et les chasseurs préhistoriques s'y enfoncent quand ils marchent. Pour avancer plus facilement, ils vont avoir l'idée d'attacher à leurs pieds des morceaux de bois. Ils fabriquent ces premiers skis en fendant un tronc en deux dans le sens de la longueur. Ils taillent ensuite le bois pour obtenir un grand patin assez plat qui permet de glisser en avant… et aussi, malheureusement, en arrière. Pour améliorer leur invention, les humains préhistoriques recouvrent le dessous de leurs skis avec des peaux de bêtes : placés dans le bon sens, les poils glissent sur la neige quand le ski avance, puis “agrippent” la neige lorsque le ski se met à reculer. Cela permet de progresser plus facilement dans la neige, de marcher plus vite pour traquer les bêtes sauvages. On a retrouvé des gravures, vieilles de 6 000 ans, qui représentent des chasseurs sur leurs skis, arc à la main…  Des skis pour se déplacer  Pendant plusieurs millénaires, les skis servent uniquement à se déplacer dans les régions enneigées. On en trouve en Scandinavie, en Russie, mais aussi dans des pays d'Asie comme la Mongolie ou la Chine.   Le ski moderne, celui qu'on connaît aujourd'hui, va commencer à se développer au 19e siècle, en Norvège. Dans ce pays, il neige près de la moitié de l'année. Les gens sortent souvent leurs skis, à la ville, à la campagne, pour aller à l'école, au travail ou chez le médecin. Mais les skis de l'époque ne sont pas très pratiques lorsque la pente devient raide. Un jeune homme va changer tout ça…  L'invention de Sondre Norheim  Sondre Norheim habite une ferme sur les hauteurs d'un village. Il trouve cela très fatigant de descendre au village quand il y a trop de neige, car il est impossible de diriger ses skis et, pour s'arrêter, il faut se laisser tomber sur le côté. Il se met au travail pour mettre au point une fixation plus rigide, afin que la cheville soit bien maintenue, et un ski plus étroit au niveau des pieds, pour bien tourner. Il crée aussi une nouvelle technique de descente.   Cette technique (on fléchit les jambes et on lève le talon pour tourner) est baptisée ”télémark”, d'après le nom de la région où vit Sondre Norheim. Il devient vite un as du ski et améliore encore les fixations. En 1868, il remporte la première course organisée dans le pays. Grâce à lui, le ski devient un véritable sport national en Norvège. À la même époque, l'explorateur norvégien Fridtjof Nansen traverse le Groenland à ski, c'est du jamais vu ! Tous ces exploits vont faire connaître le ski (et la Norvège) dans le monde entier. À partir des années 1930, skier devient un véritable sport, puis un loisir pour beaucoup de familles… dans les pays où il neige.

Runer, ornamentikk fra vikingtida, det norske flagget: norske nasjonale symboler brukes ofte for å styrke ideen den urnorske eller ariske overlegenheten. Middelalderkonger, polarhelter og andre nasjonale storfigurer har blitt gjort til frontfigurer for retningen, med varierende belegg. Hva slags rolle har nasjonale symboler spilt for høyreekstrem ideologi, og hvordan skiller denne bruken seg fra annen nasjonalisme? Øystein Sørensen gir en intro til hvordan nasjonale symboler har blitt brukt i nasjonalistisk ideologi, før Carl Emil Vogt går i dybden på hvordan Frithjof Nansen ble annektert av NS etter sin død. Etter disse to innledningene møter Sørensen og Vogt Mala Wang-Naveen til samtale om bruk av nasjonale symboler i høyreradikale strømninger.Øystein Sørensen er professor i moderne historie ved Universitetet i Oslo, med særlig kompetanse på politiske ideers historie. Han har utgitt en rekke bøker om politisk historie og politisk ideologi. Carl Emil Vogt er historiker, forfatter og spesialrådgiver ved HL-senteret.

Il est des destins qui reste durablement méconnue, celui du norvégien Fridtjof Nansen. À la charnière entre le XIXe et XXe siècle et Fridtjof Nansen a vécu une vie incroyable. Il a été à la fois, champion de ski, de patinage, scientifique, spécialiste du système nerveux, écrivain, dessinateur, explorateur du pôle nord et diplomate. Suite à la 1ʳᵉ guerre mondiale, il créa un passeport destiné aux centaines de milliers d'apatrides apparu suite à l'effondrement des empires en 1918.Fridtjof Nansen l'homme qui a sauvé ainsi des milliers de vies, et qui toutes sa vie s'est demandé s'il n'avait pas raté sa vie.  Une émission présente par Frédéric Mounier en compagnie d'Alexis Jenni, auteur du livre "Le Passeport de Monsieur Nansen" (éd. Paulsen).

“Travel is often one part geography and nine parts imagination.” –Kate Harris In this episode of Deviate Rolf and Kate discuss how travel can transform one's idea of what "exploration" is (3:00); the concept of borders (14:00); nostalgia and the transformational effect of travel (25:00); the role of home in relation to travel (34:00); and letting adventure into your life (44:00).

Fridtjof Nansen var upptäcktsresande, men också författare, forskare, debattör, diplomat – och mottagare av Nobels fredspris. Det var hans resa mot Nordpolen med fartyget ”Fram” som gjorde honom till en nationalhjälte i Norge, och både han själv och andra använde sedan hans status inom politiken. 1905 ville vissa till och med göra honom till kung. Men allra viktigast var det som gjorde honom till fredspristagare: hans engagemang för människor som levde på flykt och i svält. . See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ha llegado el final de esta temporada de Lecturas de tabaquería. Dejé para el final un capítulo del gran libro Relatos del confín del mundo (y del univero) de Juan Diego Soler. En esta lectura se habla de un maravilloso personaje llamado Fridtjof Nansen. Todo el libro es muy recomendado, se cuenta la historia de lo que condujo a la conquista del polo sur (empezando en Grecia antigua). También está la historia paralela de Juan Diego en su experiencia en Antártida con globos para estudiar la "luz más allá de las estrellas".Juan Diego mantiene también un podcast asociado a este libro pero donde habla de otros temas y tiene grandes invitados, aventureros como él y los personajes de su libro. Lo encuentran en Relatos del confín del mundo (Y del universo)Gracias a quienes han seguido este podcast esta temporada y las anteriores. Ojalá les haya distraido e ilustrado. No sé cuándo empezará la nueva temporada, puede ser pronto pero puede pasar mucho tiempo.

Fridtjof Nansen est un explorateur né. Ce Norvégien chausse des skis dès ses plus jeunes années, explore la forêt en solitaire, puis les eaux de l'océan Arctique à bord d'une expédition scientifique. C'est là qu'il tombe amoureux de la banquise et se donne un objectif fou : laisser la glace s'emparer de son navire et dériver avec elle jusqu'au pôle Nord.

Fridtjof Nansen er den moderne polarforsknings fader og gik forud for alle de andre legender - og inspirerede de fleste af dem. Navne, som kun få kan måle sig med: Shackleton, Amundsen, Scott og Peary. Nansen blev den første mand til at gå over indlandsisen i 1888 på ski, og fem år senere drog han ud på en tre år lang rejse med skibet Fram for at blive den første på Nordpolen. Senere blev han diplomat og ambassadør, og i 1922 blev han tildelt Nobels Fredspris.Vært: Bjørn Harvig, eventyrer.Medvirkende: John Andersen, arkitekt, forfatter, stor kender af Grønland og arktisk ekspeditionshistorie. John har gået over indlandsisen på ski flere gange – i Nansens fodspor - og så er John eneste mand i verden, der har padlet rundt om Grønland i kajak.Produceret af Juhl & Brunse for 24syv og Vores Tid.
