You step off the tram onto Bygdøy and the air smells faintly of salt and tar—an honest, cold bite that suits a ship built for ice. The Fram rests on its keel in a dedicated hall, hull wide and uncompromising; your private guide opens a door and history feels like a living room you can walk through.
