Fram museum in Oslo presents second ship

The permanent exhibition in the Fram Museum in Oslo has been given a new look, with a new extension to house the polar exploration ship Gjoa.

The Gjoa was the first ship to be sailed through the entire Northwest Passage by explorer Roald Amundsen and his crew.

The new extension is connected to the main museum by a tunnel.

The highlight of the Oslo museum is the Fram, which was the first ship specially built in Norway for polar research.

The vessel was used by Amundsen on his trip to Antarctica for his South Pole expedition 1910-12.
