The Norwegian Geographical Society (inNorwegian: Det norske geografiske Selskab) is a Norwegian learned society founded in 1889.[1] Among the initiators was geologist Hans Henrik Reusch, who chaired the society from 1898 to 1903, and again from 1907 to 1909, and was also an honorary member.[2] In a speech at the society in January 1890 polar researcher Fridtjof Nansen proposed the Fram expedition, an attempt to reach the North Pole, and the building of the polar ship Fram.[3]
The society has published the Norwegian Journal of Geography since 1926.[1]
