Date: June 17th 2012... almost the longest day of the year. Sun Voyager (Icelandic: Sólfar) is sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason (1931 - 1989). Sun Voyager is a dreamboat, an ode to the sun. Intrinsically, it contains within itself the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom. The sculpture is located by Sæbraut, by the sea in the centre of Reykjavík, Iceland. (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_Voyager)

'Angel' by Melbourne sculpture Deborah Halpern
Nansen was an Arctic explorer who developed many of the techniques later used by other polar explorers such as Amundsen. The ship Fram, most famous due to it being used by Amundsen on his successful South Pole expedition, was originally designed for Nansen's expedition to find the Northwest Passage. Nansen was also a scientist and, later in life, a diplomat who won the Nobel Peace Prize. Polar Museum (Polarmuseet), Tromso, Norway
Though most famous for leading the first expedition to reach the South Pole, Amundsen also led the first expedition to navigate the Northwest Passage and was part of the first overflight of the North Pole (in the airship Norge). He died on a rescue mission that departed from Tromso by flying-boat - most of the plane's wreckage, and none of the bodies, have ever been found. Polar Museum (Polarmuseet), Tromso, Norway
Hanssen was from Tromso, and was a member of Amundsen's party when they reached the South Pole. He had previously accompanied Amundsen on the first successful navigation of the Northwest Passage. Polaria, Tromso, Norway
