Fisher, Harry
Harry Fisher served as botanist and geologist on the British Exploring Expedition (Jackson-Harmsworth Polar Expedition), 1894-1897 (leader Frederick Jackson), sponsored primarily by the newspaper proprietor Alfred Harmsworth to complete the exploration of Zemlya Frantsa-Iosifa. Sledging journeys were undertaken, and on 17 June 1896 at Mys Flora, Jackson met Fridtjof Nansen, leader of the Norwegian North Polar Expedition, 1893-1896. The expedition confirmed that Zemlya Frantsa-Iosifa was an archipelago and not a larger landmass as some had supposed.
