A perfect day ... in Gränna, southern Sweden, with a child
Activities: We visited the Polar Center and explored the history of the Polarexpedition of Salomon August Andree, Knut Fraenkel and Nils Strindberg. We saw exhibits of their equipment and learned about their tragic fate. My son, though he didn't understand the director, was fascinated
Highlights: The exhibits were impressive. We saw many artifacts from the expedition. Even though my son didn't understand the guide, he was still fascinated. "It has something incredibly awe-inspiring and at the same time intimate, to see the far-traveled and long-lost objects in the original." ✨
