Google is honoring Fridtjof Nansen, a Norwegian explorer, scientist, diplomat, humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize laureate and also a champion skier and ice skater on his 156th birthday with an animated Google doodle.

The doodle, a special Google logo, has a lot going on to show off his adventures, explorations, his attempt to reach the North Pole and his skiing career. This is all jam-packed into this one doodle.
