Event Description

Few people outside of Norway have heard of Fridtjof Nansen - what a pity!

He was a polar explorer who went on to win a Nobel Peace Prize.

He had both courage and compassion in equal measure. You will be amazed at what he achieved in his 68 years.

  • Duration: 60 mins
  • Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (no replay available)

Hazel Griffiths

Meet the Host, Hazel

Hazel Griffiths has worked as a cruise ship speaker for a decade - providing interesting talks that help guests have an enjoyable time ashore. Considered to be one of the best at sea, she has now expanded her portfolio to speak on land too.

Preparing for the Event

For the best experience, you will need to have Zoom downloaded onto your computer. Please ensure you're connected to broadband/wifi rather than using your mobile phone connection (3G/4G).

We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!

    Hazel made a rather obscure subject into a real page-turner! It has left me wanting to know more about the subject upon which I will do my own research. Hazel, as always, gave an efficient and totally professional presentation, whilst at the same time made it warm and friendly. Excellent.

    Once again you have pulled the rabbit out of the hat and produced a very interesting, informative and enjoyable. This time you have come up with a subject that I only had a small amount of knowledge. I will certainly be looking to find out more when I next return to Oslo and Tromso.

    This was such an interesting and well presented talk, so informative. I could not have enjoyed it more. Thank you.

More Information

What if I can’t make the event?

If a recording’s available for the event, you can still register for it and we will send you an email with a link to a recording shortly after it ends.

Will my camera be on and will I be visible to the other people?

Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.

How do I watch the live event?

Rest Less events are hosted on Zoom, a computer application that allows you to attend online events just by clicking a link. For detailed instructions, please go to our "FAQ" page, which you can find a link to in the nav bar at the top of the page.

How do I sign-up for and access the recording? (Recorded events only)

Book the event as normal (as if you are attending live). After the event ends you will automatically receive a post-event email with a link to the recording, as long as the event was recorded. You do not need to do anything else and there is no separate booking process for recordings only. Please note it can take up to 24 hours for Zoom to process recordings.
