A photographic record of Christiana (Oslo), presented by Fridtjof Nansen's brother Alexander to Emily Shackleton. During October Shackleton and his wife made a highly successful lecture tour of the continent. 'The enthusiasm was perhaps greatest in Christiana. There the students, led by Amundsen, conducted Shackleton in a torch-light procession from his hotel to the lecture hall, and afterwards carried him shoulder-high, with short barking cheers, nine times repeated, that express so well the fervour of the roused Scandinavian spirit.' (H.R. Mill, The Life of Sir Ernest Shackleton, London, 1923, p.166)
