BBQ and Fram!


After all the conference going ons were done on the 9th, we headed to a Bar-B-Q hosted by IPY on the Bygdøy peninsula; where the viking museum is. They served us grilled meat (I think it was more reindeer) and sausages. Along with the BBQ they opened the Fram museum late and allowed us free entry. It was quite a bit of luck because we chose the viking museum over the fram earlier in our trip, despite wanting to go to the Fram as well.

The museum was very informative, and gave us some insight of the well know fram travels and some of the close calls she's had. It gave a lot of biographical information on the great explorers like Nasen, Amundsen and Sverdrup. The museum contained many treasures from the voyages of the fram. Old Harpoons, wine, clothes, dishware, guns, and metals were all on display.


The best part of the museum was that they let you onboard the fram to see the living conditions, engine room, and kitchen. The most impressive part was that 6 people fit into a room the size of an average half bathroom!
