The Director of the Fram Museum receives the William Mills Prize for 2022
The prize is awarded every other year to the author of the best non-fiction book related to Arctic or Antarctic released in the world during the last two years.
On June 9 2022 Geir O. Kløver was awarded the prestigious William Mills Prize for Non-Fiction Polar Books for the book The Nansen Photographs, published by the Fram Museum in 2021.
“The William Mills Prize honours the best Arctic or Antarctic nonfiction books published throughout the world.” The prize is awarded by the Polar Libraries Colloquy – an organization that brings together universities and research institutions active in the polar regions.
The Nansen Photographs tells the story of Norwegian Arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen and his ground-breaking effort to reach the North Pole in the specially-designed polarship Fram. The story starts when the plan for the expedition was launched in 1890 and continues until the end of Nansen’s international lecture tour in 1897. We see how Nansen selected the cameras for the expedition, and photographs and information about the cameras themselves supplement this part.
