'''''Fram''''' ("Forward") is a ship that was used in expeditions of the Arctic and [[Antarctic]] regions by the Norwegian explorers Fridtjof Nansen, Otto Sverdrup, Oscar Wisting, and [[Roald Amundsen]] between 1893 and 1912. It was designed and built by the Scottish-Norwegian shipwright Colin Archer for Fridtjof Nansen's 1893 Arctic expedition in which the plan was to freeze ''Fram'' into the Arctic ice sheet and float with it over the North Pole. | '''''Fram''''' ("Forward") is a ship that was used in expeditions of the Arctic and [[Antarctic]] regions by the Norwegian explorers Fridtjof Nansen, Otto Sverdrup, Oscar Wisting, and [[Roald Amundsen]] between 1893 and 1912.
