Fridtjof Nansen (Cristiânia, 10 de outubro de 1861 — Lysaker, 13 de maio de 1930) foi um cientista, explorador polar, aventureiro e político norueguês. Enquanto delegado norueguês na Liga das Nações criou o passaporte Nansen para os refugiados, tendo sido galardoado com o Nobel da Paz em 1922. A sua expedição, composta por seis homens, partiu em 1888. Enfrentou um ambiente totalmente hostil. Doze dias passaram antes da equipa ser sequer capaz de pisar o continente, depois de abandonar a segurança do principal navio da expedição. Os homens concluíram o caminho ao longo da calota de gelo chegando à costa ocidental da Gronelândia em setembro. Ao longo da perigosa viagem, Nansen e os seus homens registaram meticulosamente as condições meteorológicas e compilaram outros dados científicos.
