Polhøgda was the home of famous Norwegian polar explorer, scientist, diplomat, humanist, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Fridtjof Nansen from its completion in 1901 until Nansen's death in 1930. Fridtjof Nansen's grave is located in the garden in front of the manor. Further information: FNI's 'in-house historian' Ivar M. Liseter has written a history of Polhøgda (in both English and Norwegian) covering the years from 1897, when Fridjof Nansen bought the land, up until the present: Polhøgda: From the Home of Fridtjof Nansen to the Fridtjof Nansen Institute / Polhøgda: Fra Fridtjof Nansens bolig til Fridtjof Nansens Institutt. Many historic photographs of Polhøgda can be found in the National Library of Norway's online database of Nansen-related photographs.
