Look for whales and seals en route, and a variety of sea birds. DAY 7 BELL ISLAND & CAPE FLORA Mon Aug 13 We make a landing on Bell Island, near Eira Lodge, the station of Leigh Smith, who overwintered in 1881. Then we sail to Cape Flora on Northbrook Island, an important site in the history of Polar exploration, where a century ago, several expeditions had their base. On the cliffs behind Cape Flora, there are large colonies of Brünnich's Guillemots. It is an exciting view to witness the young birds when they try to glide from the ledges to the sea. This is one of the best places for wildflowers. In Günther Bay at Northbrook Island we make a zodiac cruise near an important haul-out place for Walruses. DAY 8 HOOKER ISLAND Tues Aug 14 Today we will see Rubini Rock in Tichaia Bay on Hooker Island which has colonies of cliff-nesting seabirds like Brünnich's Guillemots, Black Guillemots, Little Auks, Fulmars and Kittiwakes. We should also see Bearded and Harp Seals and visit the Sedov Research station, the first Russian station in Franz Josef Land. Sightings of Polar Bears are likely. Bowhead or Greenland Whales have also been seen in this area. DAY 9 BRITISH CHANNEL & NANSEN SITE ON JACKSON ISLAND Wed Aug 15 If sea ice conditions allow in the British Channel, we shall try to sail to Cape Norvegia on Jackson Island, where Nansen and Johansen spent the winter after they had left their ship, "Fram".

M/V Ortelius: The ice-strengthened Ortelius is an excellent vessel for Polar expedition cruises, providing possibilities to visit remote locations such as Franz Josef Land. Ortelius is named for the Dutch/Felmish cartographer, Abraham Ortelius, who published the first modern world atlas in 1570. At that time, the atlas was the most expensive book ever printed. Ortelius has the highest ice-class notation (UL1 equivalent to 1A) and is therefore able to navigate in solid one-year sea ice, if necessary, and loose multi-year pack ice. It accommodates 100 passengers, and has large open-deck spaces and a large bridge accessible to passengers. It is manned by a crew of 55 - 60 people, including a doctor. All cabins are spacious outside cabins with a minimum of two portholes or two windows per cabin. There are: 5 quad cabins with bunk beds and shared facilities. 14 twin cabins with 2 lower berths and share facilities. 9 twin cabins with porthole, 2 lower berths, and private toilet and shower. 10 twin cabins with windows, 2 lower berths, and private toilet and shower. 6 superior cabins with double beds, private toilet and shower, and separate day room. 1 suite with double bed, private toilet and shower and separate day room. The ship offers a comfortable hotel standard, a bar/lecture room, and sauna.

The political changes which occurred in the former Soviet Union in the last part of the 1980s resulted in the opening of this area to foreigners. Director Gennady Matishov of Murmansk Marine Biological Institute deserves much of the credit for this. In 1990 an international cooperation was established between the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute (MMBI); the Arctic Ecology Group of the Institute of Oceanology, Gdansk; and the Norwegian Polar Research Institute, Oslo. The purpose of this cooperation is to develope scientific cooperation in the Arctic thorugh joint expeditions, the establishment of a high Arctic scientific station, and the exchange of scientific information. So far the results of this cooperation are two scientific cruises with the RV "Pomor", a vessel belonging to the MMBI. The cruises have been named Sov­ Nor-Poll and Sov-Nor-Po12. A third cruise is planned for August-September 1992. In addition the MMBI has undertaken to establish a scientific station at Tikhaia Bay on Hooker Island. This is the site of a former Soviet meteorological base from 1929-1958, and some of the buildings are now being restored by MMBI.

  • Expedition Notes – Aurora Expeditions
    March 13, 2018 Franz Josef Land Explorer (FJL001G) - Expedition Notes – Aurora Expeditions EXPEDITION NOTES Pre-Departure Information (FJL001G) Franz Josef Land Explorer (FJL001G) Tour Code: FJL001G Start: Longyearbyen, Svalbard Dates: 12 July to 26 July 2020 Finish: Longyearbyen, Svalbard Duration: Duration Ship: Greg Mortimer Welcome Aboard! These notes will give you a brief idea of what you may experience on this voyage. Our emphasis is on wildlife encounters, personal contact with the environment and visiting sites of historical interest. However, we stress that this is an expedition-style cruise. Our actual program will vary to take best advantage of local conditions, spontaneous opportunities and wildlife. No two voyages are the same; there is always an element of the unexpected. Franz Josef Land is an archipelago located in the Arctic Ocean, Barents Sea and Kara Sea. It is 1300 kilometres from Murmansk and in 900 kilometres from the North Pole. Franz Josef Land consists of 191 islands, which cover an area of 16,134 square kilometres, stretching 375 kilometres from east to west and 234 kilometres from north to south. It is a sanctuary of Arctic wildlife: walrus colonies, polar bears, arctic foxes, marine mammals, bird cliffs, and historical remains. The islands became part of the Russian Arctic National Park in 2012, with a policy to control tourist numbers in order to conserve the pristine environment. *Please note that this itinerary is indicative only as policies in Russia can change with very little notice. We will be able to provide you with firmer details of the final itinerary 12 months prior to departure.

A REVISION OF THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE PLESIOSAURIA WITH A SYNOPSIS OF THE STRATIGRAPHICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE GROUP BY PER OVE PERSSON LUND C. W. K. GLEER UP Read before the Royal Physiographic Society, February 13, 1963. LUND HÅKAN OHLSSONS BOKTRYCKERI l 9 6 3 l. Introduction The sub-order Plesiosauria is one of the best known of the Mesozoic Reptile groups, but, as emphasized by KuHN (1961, p. 75) and other authors, its classification is still not satisfactory, and needs a thorough revision. The present paper is an attempt at such a revision, and includes also a tabular synopsis of the stratigraphical and geo­ graphical distribution of the group. Some of the species are discussed in the text (pp. 17-22). The synopsis is completed with seven maps (figs. 2-8, pp. 10-16), a selective synonym list (pp. 41-42), and a list of rejected species (pp. 42-43). Some forms which have been erroneously referred to the Plesiosauria are also briefly mentioned ("Non-Plesiosaurians", p. 43). - The numerals in braekets after the generic and specific names in the text refer to the tabular synopsis, in which the different forms are numbered in successional order. The author has exaroined all material available from Sweden, Australia and Spitzbergen (PERSSON 1954, 1959, 1960, 1962, 1962a); the major part of the material from the British Isles, France, Belgium and Luxembourg; some of the German spec­ imens; certain specimens from New Zealand, now in the British Museum (see LYDEK­ KER 1889, pp.

L-n the first three sections of this paper, the observations imparted are put together from Nansen's journals, supplemented by his verbal com- ments and explanations during the preparation of the work. The last section gives the observations made during the time that the ship was drifting with the ice in the summers of 1895 and 1896, and is compiled from written and verbal information received from Scott-Hansen, Blessing and Mogstad, and also from the journals kept by Sverdrup. first section treats the The (I) of the journey along north coast of Siberia, from Yugor Strait, July 29th, 1893, until the closing in of the ship to the north-west of the New Siberian Islands on September 25th, 1893 (78 5<y N. Lat, 132 20' E. Long.). The birds observed during this time were principally on their way south- wards. After the closing in of the ship, no birds were seen until the fol- lowing year. The second section (II) gives the observations made at the time that the 'Fram* was drifting with the ice towards the NW., during the first summer, 1894, up to the time when Nansen and Johansen started on their sledge-journey, March 14th, 1895. This last point lies in about 84 N. Lat., < 1010 55 E. Lon g. The first bird seen in the spring of 1894 (a gull, probably Pagophila eburnea), appeared on May 13th; birds were seen now and again until after the middle of August.

Victoria Island (Ostrov Viktoriya in Russian) is the westernmost island of the Russian Arctic. The legal status of this island and neighbouring Franz Josef Land was unclear in 1929 and 1930. At that time Norwegian interests attempted, through a secret campaign, to annex Victoria Island and gain a foothold on parts of Franz Josef Land. We describe the events leading up to the Norwegian annexation, which was later abandoned for political reasons. Key words: Franz Josef Land, Victoria Island, Norwegian claim, acquisition of sovereignty RÉSUMÉ. L’île Victoria (en russe Ostrov Viktoriya) est l’île la plus occidentale de l’Arctique russe. En 1929 et 1930, le statut légal de cette île et de l’archipel François-Joseph voisin n’était pas bien défini. À cette époque, les intérêts norvégiens tentaient, par le biais d’une campagne secrète, d’annexer l’île Victoria et d’établir une emprise sur des zones de l’archipel François- Joseph. On décrit les événements menant à l’annexion norvégienne, annexion qui fut délaissée par la suite pour des raisons politiques. Mots clés: archipel François-Joseph, île Victoria, revendication norvégienne, acquisition de la souveraineté Traduit pour la revue Arctic par Nésida Loyer.
