SUMMER 2018 April • November Cruises ARCTIC • ASIA & OCEANIA • MEDITERRANEAN NORTH EUROPA & BALTIC STATES 2 Dear Passengers SUMMER 2018 April • November Cruises ARCTIC • ASIA & OCEANIA • MEDITERRANEAN NORTH EUROPA & BALTIC STATES 2 Dear passengers, 2018 is an important year for our company. In fact, our first yacht, Le Ponant, came into being 30 years ago on 1st April 1988. 30 years of cruising on all of the world’s seas, 30 years of calling in at the planet’s most secluded places, 30 years of PONANT moments shared with our passengers, from the Antarctic to the Amazon River, from Disko Bay to the magical Aldabra Atoll, from the Panama Canal to distant New Zealand shores… Such magnificent voyages undertaken together, such distance covered thanks to your trust! Today, for this anniversary date, we take great pleasure in presenting our latest yachts, the PONANT Explorers. In keeping with our philosophy, we have made the choice of intimate, smaller-capacity ships for this series of four new yachts, which have only 92 cabins. Innovative and easy to manoeuvre, designed for expeditions, the PONANT Explorers will take you as close as possible to exceptional destinations: Iceland, the Seychelles, the Great Barrier Reef, the Great Lakes of North America… The first two yachts, Le Lapérouse and Le Champlain, will join the PONANT fleet for the summer 2018 season, and the following two yachts in 2019. Take a read of the pages of this Edition and conjure up images of your next voyage… On the agenda: the Arctic and its lord, the polar bear, an exceptional cruise with the mythical North West Passage, the capitals, fjords and lands of Northern Europe, the paradisiacal beaches and distant peoples of Polynesia, and don’t forget the alliance of sun and culture in the Mediterranean… The dream of discovery, the emotions of unforgettable encounters, 30 years of shared passion… and so many exceptional places in which to continue writing this beautiful adventure together.

Mr. Ekblaw, who was placed in charge of the 1916 expeditin, will present a separate report. The results of the expedition, naturally, depended upon the loca tion of its headquarters. The enforced selection of Etah, North Green- land, seriously handicapped the work of the expedition from start to finish, while the. expenses of the party were more than doubled. The. first accident, the grounding of the Diana upon the coast of Labrador, was a regrettable adventure. The consequent delay, due to unloading, chartering, and reloading, resulted in such a late arrival at Etah that our plans were disarranged. It curtailed in many ways the eageimess of the men to reach their objective point at the head of Flagler Bay, te proposed site of the winter quarters. The leader and his party being but passengers upon a chartered ship was another handicap, since the captain emphatically declared that he would not steam across Smith Sound. There was but one decision to be made, namely: to land upon the North Greenland shore within striking distance of Cape Sabine.

  • Chances for Arctic Survival: Greely's Expedition Revisited
    ARCTIC VOL. 55, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 2002) P. 373–379 Chances for Arctic Survival: Greely’s Expedition Revisited JAN MARCIN W¢S¸AWSKI1,2 and JOANNA LEGE˚Y¡SKA1 (Received 12 April 2001; accepted in revised form 5 February 2002) ABSTRACT. A.W. Greely’s historic starvation camp of 1883–84 was revisited from April to June 1998. Our study revealed that the “sea fleas” reported to be the salvation of the expedition survivors were lysianassoid crustaceans Onisimus edwardsi. Expedition diaries reveal that the seven survivors of the 25-member expedition accumulated a huge energy deficit from October 1883 to June 1884. We estimate that their food supply (ship’s rations, sparse game, and over 500 kg of carrion-feeding crustaceans collected in spring 1884) added up to about 4.8 million kcal. The minimal energy requirement of the group (5725 man/days and 1200 kcal/person/day) was 6.8 million kcal. The additional 2.0 million kcal might have been obtained from the bodies of victims. Without cannibalism, it seems unlikely that anyone, having attained an individual energy deficit of over 86000 kcal before the rescue in June 1884, could have survived. Key words: Arctic history, Ellesmere Island, amphipods RÉSUMÉ. D’avril à juin 1998, on est retournés sur le site du campement de A. W. Greely qui, en 1883-1884, connut une famine historique. Notre étude révèle que les «puces de mer» auxquelles les survivants de l’expédition auraient dû leur salut étaient en fait des crustacés lysianassoïdes Onisimus edwardsi. Les journaux de l’expédition révèlent que, d’octobre 1883 à juin 1884, les 7 survivants de l’expédition, qui comprenait au départ 25 individus, accumulèrent un énorme déficit énergétique.

  • Glaciated Landscapes Along Smith Sound, Ellesmere Island, Canada and Greenland
    Annals of Glaciology 28 1999 # International Glaciological Society Glaciated landscapes along Smith Sound, Ellesmere Island, Canada and Greenland Weston Blake, Jr Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0E8, Canada ABSTRACT. Both the Ellesmere Island and Greenland coasts of Smith Sound, at 78³20' Nto 78³50 ' N, exhibit exceptionally well-sculptured and heavily striated Pre- cambrian bedrock.The glacial features were created by the southward flow of the ``Smith Sound Ice Stream'', which overrode Pim Island .550 m), where Smith Sound is 4500 m deep and 40 km wide. The Smith Sound Ice Stream was the drainageway to Baffin Bay for ice derived from the coalescence of the Innuitian and Greenland ice sheets over Kane Basin, the shallowest part .much of it 5200 m) of the Nares Strait system, in late-Wisconsinan .Weichselian) time. The north^south oriented glacial features along the outermost coasts of Smith Sound contrast markedly with the present-day eastward flow of outlet glaciers from the Prince of Wales Icefield .Ellesmere Island) and the westward flow of outlet glaciers from the Greenland ice sheet .Inglefield Land).The oldest 14C ages on marine shells and lake sediments show that glacier ice had receded from the Ellesmere Island coast of Smith Sound by 900014 CyrBP. The heads of the three longest fiords,120^140 km to the west and northwest, did not become ice-free until 450014CyrBP.

MACMILLAN, HARRISON J. HUNT, AND THE CROCKER LAND EXPEDITION, 1913-1917 BY CHARLES H. LAGERBOM1 The polar careers of three Maine men intersected in the far reaches of the northern Arctic Ocean at a specific geographic spot on the globe: 83° North Latitude, 100° West Longitude. Called Crocker Land, it had been sighted by polar explorer and Maine resident Robert E. Peary on June 24, 1906. In 1913, Mainer Donald B. MacMillan organized the Crocker Land expedition to explore this land that Peary had sighted. Another Mainer, Harrison J. Hunt, signed on as doctor for MacMillan’s venture in 1913. Crocker Land tied them all together, but only one of the three actually stood where it should have been located; another only glimpsed the land from afar; and the third never even got close to it and came to regard its non-existence as an apt metaphor for the entire expedition.
