New Land 2013 Expedition - Otto Sverdrup
Otto Sverdrup embodies the cultural ethos of what it means to be Norwegian as no other explorer. Due to a lack of unnecessary drama and his quiet nature, Sverdrup’s astounding polar achievements and peerless feats of leadership remain unheralded. Sverdrup never sought the spotlight, instead he focused on the ingredients necessary to attain expeditionary success: planning and preparation, steadfast leadership in critical situations, the cultivation of a highly functional team, and a safe return home.
