Oxford Expeditions to Nordaustlandet (North East Land), Spitsbergen

Аннотация

Five expeditions are described: those of Binney 1923 and 1924, Glen 1935-36, and Hartog 1949 (in which the writer took part) and 1951. Binney's expeditions were important for geographical discovery, while those of Glen and Hartog pursued more detailed work in geomorphology, glaciology, meteorology, and surveying. Few results of Hartog's work are yet published. Earlier expeditions of other origin are briefly noted.
