    HCA9-07.4Ad IHO HYDROGRAPHIC COMMITTEE ON ANTARCTICA (HCA) 9th Meeting, Simon’s Town, Cape Town, South Africa, 12-14 October 2009 NATIONAL REPORT – NORWAY NORWEGIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE (NHS) 1. General The Norwegian Hydrographic Service (NHS) is responsible for the provision of hydrographic services for Norwegian waters and sea areas, including the Svalbard and Jan Mayen area. In Antarctica the Norwegian geographical area of interest mainly is concentrated in Dronning Maud Land (Queen Maud Land) and the adjacent Kong Håkon VII Hav (King Håkon VII Sea). Peter I Øy (Peter I Island) in the Bellingshausen Sea and Bouvetøya (Bouvet Island) are also Norwegian dependencies. However, the latter is north of the 60 parallel. In July 2008, Norway reached the goal of full ENC coverage for the Norwegian coast. Although this was a major step forwards, there still remains large areas with old data that needs to be replaced with new survey data. In addition, large areas on Svalbard remain to be surveyed and covered with ENCs and papercharts. The NHS has established a fully digital production flowline and all new products and updates are produced from a seamless Primary database. A new chart production system that enables more efficient maintenance of the ENC and chart portfolio is currently being fully implemented. The NHS intends to establish a Tracing service in 2009 and Print on Demand in 2010. Two projects are being carried out in order to develop the services including the technology needed to support it. PRIMAR International ENC service, operated by the Norwegian Hydrographic Service, now includes approx 8400 ENCs from more than 35 countries.

  • Norwegian Arctic Expansionism, Victoria Island (Russia) and the Bratvaag Expedition IAN GJERTZ1 and BERIT MØRKVED2
    ARCTIC VOL. 51, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 1998) P. 330– 335 Norwegian Arctic Expansionism, Victoria Island (Russia) and the Bratvaag Expedition IAN GJERTZ1 and BERIT MØRKVED2 (Received 6 October 1997; accepted in revised form 22 March 1998) ABSTRACT. 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. INTRODUCTION One of the bases for claiming these polar areas was that Norwegians either had discovered them or had vital eco- Norway has a long tradition in Arctic exploration, fishing, nomic interests in them as the most important commercial sealing, and hunting.

  • A B O U T P E N G U I N S Penguins Are Aquatic, Flightless Birds of the Family
    A b o u t P e n g u i n s Penguins are aquatic, flightless birds of the family Spheniscidae. All are native to the southern hemisphere, where they inhabit every continent from the equator to Antarctica. Penguins primarily eat krill, squid, and fish. Adult penguins of all species have countershaded plumage—dark dorsal feathers and white ventral feathers—that help camouflage them in water. Penguins of the genus Eudyptes have yellow or orange feathered crests adorning their heads. Climate change threatens penguins in many ways, affecting breeding seasons and nesting habitats; prey populations, distributions, and accessibility; and predator populations and distributions. Human activity also threatens penguins, from overfishing, pollution, tourism, and construction to hunting and the introduction of non-native predators. The table below lists conservation status and native countries of occurrence for the 18 species of penguin monitored by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List.
