Fridtjof Nansen (10 October 1861 – 13 May 1930) was a Norwegian explorer, scientist, diplomat, humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. In his youth a champion skier and ice skater, he led the team that made the first crossing of the Greenland interior in 1888, cross-country skiing on the island, and won international fame after reaching a record northern latitude of 86°14' during his North Pole expedition of 1893–96. In the final decade of his life, Nansen devoted himself primarily to the League of Nations, following his appointment in 1921 as the League's High Commissioner for Refugees. In 1922 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on behalf of the displaced victims of the First World War and related conflicts. Among the initiatives he introduced was the 'Nansen passport' for stateless persons, a certificate recognised by more than 50 countries.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Fridtjof Nansen (10 de octubre de 1861 - 13 de mayo de 1930) fue un explorador, científico, diplomático, humanitario y premio Nobel de la Paz noruego. En su juventud fue campeón de esquí y patinador sobre hielo, dirigió el equipo que realizó la primera travesía del interior de Groenlandia en 1888, practicando esquí de fondo en la isla, y ganó fama internacional tras alcanzar una latitud norte récord de 86°14' durante su expedición al Polo Norte de 1893-96. En la última década de su vida, Nansen se dedicó principalmente a la Sociedad de Naciones, tras su nombramiento en 1921 como Alto Comisionado de la Sociedad para los Refugiados. En 1922 recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz por su trabajo en favor de las víctimas desplazadas de la Primera Guerra Mundial y los conflictos relacionados. Entre las iniciativas que introdujo se encontraba el «pasaporte Nansen» para apátridas, un certificado reconocido por más de 50 países.
