Abstract
CAPTAIN OSCAR WISTING, the Norwegian arctic explorer, was born in 1871 and at the age of sixteen years went to sea and in 1892 joined the Norwegian navy. His tastes, however, led him to polar seas, and after a few voyages in whalers and sealers he joined the expedition of R. Amundsen in 1909.
