Some photos from The Fram Museum in Oslo, Norway, which has The Fram (ship Amundsen used to sail to Antarctica) and The Gjøa (first ship through the northwest passage).

Travelogue: Oslo

It’s been a bit! I have a few more involved posts in the works, but for now, why not ease back in to Glossopteris with a travelogue? In June

My polar travels in Norway. It was wonderful to experience the place that shaped a person like Amundsen, and getting to explore the Fram made my boat nerd heart sing. I’ll always remember the long evenings on the fjord, staring wistfully across the water at the ghosts of the past.

Highly recommend the Fram museum and the other Bygdøy museums if you're ever in Oslo. Fram also features quite a lot of info about the Gjøa and other polar expeditions, including The Franklin Expedition.

This is what I bought in the fantastic shop. Unlike most gift shops, the books/souvenirs are actually reasonably priced and there were a lot of books that I'd never seen before.

I'd never heard of the de Bray book before, at least. There are a lot of other interesting Franklin and polar expedition books there, but I only have so much room in my case 😭. All of this totalled 355NOK (about £29.00), btw.

Highly recommend if you're ever visiting Oslo 10/10.

Some pictures I took at the Fram Museum in Oslo, Norway. It's all dedicated to polar exploration and the two original ships Fram and Gjøa are part of the exhibition.

Bygdøy Peninsula

Home to some of Oslo’s most popular museums, I’ve visited Bygdøy Peninsula three times, in the mid 1990s, in 2010, and 2023. Almost nothing seemed to have changed between my first two visits, but plenty by the time of my third visit, particularly the introduction of digital screens everywhere, and far more tourists it seemed. The peninsula can be reached by bus or more scenically by ferry from…
