Nansen's Fram expedition of 1893–1896 was an attempt by the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen to reach the geographical North Pole by harnessing the natural east–west current of the Arctic Ocean.
The line in the direction of the minor axis is the location of the excitation function vs. time of year. ( 100 mas (milliarcseconds) = 3.082 m on the Earth's surface at the poles) There is now general agreement that the annual component of polar motion is a forced motion excited predominantly by atmospheric dynamics.
