                            Fredrik Hjalmar Johansen (1867–1913) Norwegian Polar explorer.  He participated in Nansen's Fram Expedition of 1893–96 and in a number of explorations of the Svalbard archipelago.  In 1910-12 he accompanied Roald Amundsen's expedition to the South Pole.  Overshadowed by both Nansen's and Amundsen's renown,  Hjalmar Johansen's achievements remained largely unknown and his name forgotten by history until the publication of his biography "Den tredje mann. Beretningen om Hjalmar Johansen" by Ragnar Kvam in 1997.
