Fridtjof Nansen Land (Norwegian: Fridtjof Nansens Land) was a suggested but not officially adopted Norwegian name of a territory on the southern East Coast of Greenland,[1][2] that was proclaimed by Norway on July 12, 1932, and occupied until April 5, 1933. It was named after Norwegian polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen. The short-lived territory occupied much of King Frederick VI Coast, which had been claimed a century before by the Danish crown.
