Inspired by Fridtjof Nansen's famous expedition with the vessel Fram in 1893–96, scientists on board the research vessel Lance embarked on a six-month study in the Arctic Ocean to closely monitor sea ice over its entire seasonal life cycle: from when the new ice forms in winter until it melts in early summer.

Mr Stoltenberg gives his special adviser on international health, Tore Godal, much of the honour for the inclusion of their names on the list.
Stoltenberg gir sin spesialrådgiver på det internasjonale helsefeltet, Tore Godal, mye av æren for at de begge figurerer på listen.
After Fridtjof Nansen, he is probably the Norwegian whose work has saved the most lives,” said Mr Stoltenberg.
Hans livsverk har trolig ført til at han er den nordmann som har reddet flest liv etter Fridtjof Nansen, sier statsminister Jens Stoltenberg.

Dr Godal led research into tropical research in the World Health Organization for many years, contributing to an important reduction in malaria in African countries.
Godal har gjennom sin mangeårige ledelse av tropemedisinsk forskning i Verdens helseorganisasjon bidratt til en viktig tilbakegang av malaria i afrikanske land.
He also played a key role in the establishment of GAVI – the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation, in close cooperation with the Norwegian authorities and Bill and Melinda Gates.
Han ledet også arbeidet med opprettelsen av Den globale vaksine alliansen, GAVI, i tett samarbeid mellom norske myndigheter og Bill og Melinda Gates.
“GAVI has provided vaccinations for millions of children, and has saved more than five million lives,” Mr Stoltenberg commented.
– Gjennom GAVI har millioner av barn blitt vaksinert og over fem millioner liv er spart, sier statsminister Stoltenberg.
Today, Dr Godal heads a working group on innovation in health services for women and children at the invitation of the UN Secretary-General.
I dag leder Godal en arbeidsgruppe for innovasjon innen helsetjenester for kvinner og barn etter invitasjon av FNs generalsekretær.
The working group is examining how mobile technology can strengthen health services for the world’s poorest women and children.
Arbeidsgruppen ser på hvordan mobilteknologi kan bidra til å styrke helsetjenester for verdens fattigste kvinner og barn.
Norway a driving force
Norge en viktig pådriver
At the turn of the millennium, the UN member states set themselves eight goals to be achieved by 2015 in the global fight against poverty.
Ved tusenårsskiftet satte FNs medlemsland seg åtte mål for å bekjempe verdens fattigdom innen 2015.
The UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) form the basis of Norway’s efforts to reduce poverty.
FNs tusenårsmål legges til grunn for Norges innsats i kampen mot fattigdom.
Tore Godal commented: “Norway has made an impact through its engagement at the highest level.
– Norge har fått gjennomslagskraft ved engasjement på høyeste plan.
With the launch of the Global Campaign for the Health Millennium Development Goals in 2007, the Prime Minister, together with national and international leaders has called for intensified efforts to improve maternal and child health.
Gjennom lansering av Den Globale helsekampanjen i 2007 har statsministeren sammen med nasjonale og internasjonale ledere tatt til orde for å satse på kvinne- og barnehelse.
At the UN summit on the MDGs in September 2010, the UN Secretary-General gathered heads of state and government from all over the world to mobilise a common effort to reduce maternal and child mortality in poor countries.
På FNs toppmøte om tusenårsmålene i september 2010 samlet FNs generalsekretær statsledere fra hele verden for å mobilisere til felles dugnad for å redusere mødre- og barnedødelighet i fattige land.
Mr Stoltenberg pointed out: “A woman dies from complications of pregnancy or childbirth every minute.
– Hvert minutt dør det en kvinne i barsel eller på grunn av komplikasjoner under graviditet.
Women are dying for reasons that could easily be prevented and because women’s health in far too many countries is not considered important.
De dør av årsaker som lett kunne vært forhindret, og fordi kvinners helse i altfor mange land ikke oppfattes som viktig.
This is unfair and unacceptable.
Det er urettferdig og uakseptabelt.
While this is clearly a health issue, it is also a question of equality, dignity and human rights.
Dette handler om helse, men like mye om likestilling, verdighet og menneskerettigheter.
Norway will therefore play an important role in the follow up of the Secretary-General’s Global Strategy.
Norge vil derfor være en viktig støttespiller i oppfølgingen av generalsekretærens strategi for mødre- og barnehelse, sier Stoltenberg.
