I was in NYC a few weeks ago getting medially certified to work at sea as co-team leader on the Research Vessel Dr. Fridtjof Nansen. I popped into the Explorers Club headquarters to hangout until my flight home and guess whose picture I found? #FridtjofNansen #theexplorersclub

Jackdaw's attempts at heroic Nansen stance ..
1) Look towards the horizon .. not those bowed legs 🙄
2) You're getting it, now straighten up, look tall!
3) No no no .. you look like grumpy old granddad!
4) What do you mean, you don't want to play anymore?

Apropos Scandinavian explorers: Yesterday was #FridtjofNansen‘s 159th birthday!
Childhood hero (firstborn’s only not named 'Fridtjof' due to wife’s inexplicable objections 🤷🏻♂️) - and the most dashing moustache in #PolarExploration. 👨🦳👌
