	The six-man expedition started mid june in 1888. The first obstacle was to row from the ship to the coast. This part was estimated to a couple of hours. They needed 12 days! This was because of strong winds and ice along the coast. They finally managed to reach the coast, about 450 km south of their original destination. The trek across Greenland was long and hard and far away from the original route. The environment and cold weather was rough, but their major trouble was pulling the sledges and melting water. Almost two months later the team finally reached the west coast, looking back on a trek that no man had ever had gone. In addition to a historic first trek across Greenland, the scientist Nansen also meteorological conditions, and other important scientific data.
