  • First Assessment of Mountains on Northwestern Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, As Potential Astronomical Observing Sites
    Preprint, November 8, 2018 First Assessment of Mountains on Northwestern Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, as Potential Astronomical Observing Sites Eric Steinbring1, Ray Carlberg2, Bryce Croll2 Greg Fahlman1, Paul Hickson3, Liviu Ivanescu4, Brian Leckie1, Thomas Pfrommer3 & Matthias Schoeck1 ABSTRACT Ellesmere Island, at the most northerly tip of Canada, possesses the highest mountain peaks within 10 degrees of the pole. The highest is 2616 m, with many summits over 1000 m, high enough to place them above a stable low-elevation thermal inversion that persists through winter darkness. Our group has studied four mountains along the northwestern coast which have the additional benefit of smooth onshore airflow from the ice-locked Arctic Ocean. We deployed small robotic site testing stations at three sites, the highest of which is over 1600 m and within 8 degrees of the pole. Basic weather and sky clarity data for over three years beginning in 2006 are presented here, and compared with available nearby sea-level data and one manned mid-elevation site. Our results point to coastal mountain sites experiencing good weather: low median wind speed, high clear-sky fraction and the expectation of excellent seeing. Some practical aspects of access to these remote locations and operation and maintenance of equipment there are also discussed. Subject headings: site testing arXiv:1007.1680v1 [astro-ph.IM] 9 Jul 2010 1. Introduction The cold, dry, dark winter skies of the earth’s polar regions are well suited for astronomy.

  • Glaciological Research in the Canadian Arctic
    GLACIOLOGICALRESEARCH IN THE CANADIAN ARCTIC? P. D. Baird” HE glaciers of the Canadian Arctic are amongst the least known of the northern hemisphere. From the earliest surveys, however,it was clear that Tthey containnumerous features of exceptionalinterest tothe glaciologist. The ice assumes many different forms including glacier caps, highland glaciers gradinginto vast areas of transectionglaciers, valley, cirque, and piedmont forms,and finally some unique shelf ice. It is believed that all thisice has non-temperate geophysical characteristics (Ahlmann, 1948, pp. 66-7) and that, therefore,there is a widerange omf types to study,intermediate between Greenland’s polar inland ice, and the temperate ice of Iceland and Norway. The regimen of the glaciersin the Canadian Arctic is apparentlyhealthier than those studied by Ahlmann around the North Atlantic. The highlandrim of northeastarctic Canada was probablythe source region from which the WisconsinLaurentide Ice sheet expanded to cover an area nearly as large as Antarctica in eastern and central North America. At the close of the Wisconsin age the ice disappeared in southern areas and the lowlands of the north, buthas persisted as remnants on Baffin, Bylot, Devon, Ellesmere, and Axel Heiberg islands to the present day (Flint, 1943). The glacierized area underconsideration (Fig. 1) extendsabout 1,600 miles and occupiesan estimated area of 50,000 square miles, Northern Labrador is omitted as only small glacierettes exist today.Ellesmere Island, completely photographed from the air, but still to be mapped in detail, has more than half the total ice for the region. It is found in four distinct areas, Grant, Grinnell, Ellesmere proper, and North Lincoln (or Sverdrup), called “quarters” here for convenience.
