The first voyage to the North Pole was undertaken by an expedition led by Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen in 1895 and 1896. The expedition took place on the ship “Fram“. Nansen and his team were seeking to reach a point north of Siberia, making them the first explorers to reach the North Pole. The team did not make it to their destination. However, they still managed to become one of two teams that reached a record latitude at 86°14’N, which surpassed previous records held by both American Charles Hall and British William Parry.
