Crown Prince Haakon was today involved in marking the start of the national charity event "Together on a trip" in Drammen.
The initiative, which many public health and outdoor organizations have joined forces on, will help to get more people active and make people better acquainted with the many tour and activity offers that exist around Norway.

When Crown Prince Haakon crosses the Greenland ice sheet, polar history and climate research are combined. An embarrassing national memory of Norway as an occupying power is less talked about.

Just saw this tweet and pic

Interesting. I imagine the Crown Prince was invited because his presence will attract publicity and boost viewership for the documentary and thus promote the stated mission of educating people about the climate science in which the expedition will participate.
 
The expedition to Greenland is over (at least) for Crown Prince Haakon and he has returned home:

It was fantastic, and I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to be part of it and experience this. (..)When you stand there on the ice, it seems almost endless. But it is not. It is possible to move over it only with the help of the wind during a two-week period. It seems incredible that it works, but we humans affect the enormous mass of ice. It is not bigger than it is, and we must take care of it. It is melting fast, and man-made climate change is the cause.

Press release in English:
https://www.royalcourt.no/artikkel.html?tid=212287&sek=113027

[...]

Press release from the Nobel Peace Center:

“[...] Polar hero, researcher and diplomat Fridtjof Nansen received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922. He won the award for his work with prisoners of war, starving people and refugees after the First World War. [...]

The exhibition will be opened by Crown Prince Haakon on World Refugee Day on 20 June. The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and UNHCR will also participate in the event.

[...]

Nansen was commissioned by the League of Nations to lead the work of returning prisoners of war after the First World War, and his enormous aid operation transported 450,000 prisoners home. He became the League of Nations' first High Commissioner for Refugees and introduced the “Nansen passport”, which gave hundreds of thousands of stateless people the opportunity to cross national borders. He later worked for the famine-stricken in Soviet Russia, driven by a strong desire to help after seeing their suffering with his own eyes. He worked diligently to finance the relief work, using his own pictures of starving children during lecture tours to raise money.

“Is there a member of this assembly who is willing to say that rather than helping the Soviet government, he will allow 20,000,000 people to suffer starvation?” Fridtjof Nansen to the League of Nations Assembly in Geneva in 1921.

Several of the photos Nansen took on his travels are displayed in the exhibition at the Nobel Peace Center. “Nansen was also a pioneer in the sense that he was one of the first to use photographs to create sympathy and raise money for people in crisis. His pictures still arouse strong emotions, and their connection to today’s situation in Ukraine makes them even more disturbing to see,” says Kjersti Fløgstad.

The exhibition Compassion in action: The legacy of Fridtjof Nansen runs until 31 December 2022.
