Review:

Known as the strongest wooden ship ever made, Fram Museum is the famous 19th century Norwegian ice-defying polar exploration ship that to this day holds the world records for sailing farthest south and farthest north. In the museum, visitors can come aboard the ship and see the place where the crew as well as their dogs survived the trip to the coldest, most dangerous places on earth – the North Pole and the South Pole.

An interesting feature of the museum is a polar simulator where a visitor can experience, virtually, the dangers and cold that the crew of Fram suffered more than a hundred years go. The Gjøa building of the museum has exhibitions on the Arctic and the Northwest Passage.
