French Geodetic and Scientific Expedition to Lapland

The paper describes surveying a part of the meridian arc in Lapland (border of Sweden and Finland). The field team had great difficulty with the climate and terrain configuration. However, they managed to prove that the Earth is roughly shaped as a rotational ellipsoid and confirm theoretical assumptions on Newton and Huygens that the arc length of one meridian degree near a pole is greater than at smaller latitudes.

Change of Majority Owner at Santapark Ltd
Change of majority owner at Santapark Ltd The City of Rovaniemi, the Finnish Government and Lapin Matkailu Oy are selling the shares they own in Santapark Ltd to the Rovaniemi-based company, Santa’s Holding. Behind this company are Ilkka Länkinen and Katja Ikäheimo-Länkinen, owners of ProSanta Oy. In 2008, the Ownership Steering Department in the Prime Minister’s Office organised competitive tendering for the Santapark shares amongst several Finnish organisations. In the opinion of Mayor of Rovaniemi, Mauri Gardin, the transaction will safeguard Santapark’s operating environment, both now and in the future. “As far as Santapark’s future is concerned, it is important that ownership is transferred to a strong, focused, local and active party. The new majority owners will reinforce the Christmas activities on offer to tourists in Father Christmas’ home town, Rovaniemi” Christmas tourism a significant employer Santapark, situated on the Arctic Circle at Rovaniemi, has proven to be one of Rovaniemi's and Lapland's most attractive destinations, both in winter and in summer. In recent years, Santapark has been visited by 50,000–60,000 people per year. “The concept of Santapark has proven to work well, but in order to ensure its continued development, we must invest in sales and marketing and keep tight control of costs”, says Ilkka Länkinen. “We will be introducing additional content and a more diverse range of experiences, which will support the image of Father Christmas and other tourism in Lapland”, he continues. He emphasises that the near future will be challenging on account of the global financial situation. -

Preliminary Report on the Expedition to Lapland for the Observation of the Total Solar Eclipse of 29 June 1927
Astronomy. - Preliminary R.eport on the Expedition to Lapland for the Observation of the Total Solar Eclipse of June 29th 1927. By A. PANNEKOEK and M. G. J. MINNAERT. (Communlcated at the meeting of September 28. 1927). I. The observation of the total solar eclipse of Jan. 14. 1926 at Palembang having failed through clouds. it was to be feared that in the much more favourable eclipse of 1929 our instruments should have to be used. before by practical experience possible faults could have been detected and corrected. This consideration induced the Eclipse Committee to organize an expedition for observing the total eclipse of J une 29th 1927. As the zone of totality traversed England. the South of Norway and the North of Sweden a limited programme could be executed at moderate expense. By the short duration of the eclipse study of the spectrum of the corona would be difficult. but for the observation of the flash a test of the Cooke spectrograph was quite possible. For this reason a request was made to the "Hollandsche Maatschappij van Wetenschappen" at Harlem to destine the "PIETER LANGERHUIZEN fund" for this year for an expedition to observe this eclipse. In its session of May 15th 1927 the Society decided to comply with our request. Immediately the preparation of the expedition. for which preliminary experiments had been made already at the Heliophysical Institute of the Utrecht Physical Laboratory. was taken energetically in hand. As our place of observation Gällivare in the northern part of Sweden was chosen. chiefly on account of the greater height of the sun (28°. -

BY HANS W:SON AHLMrANN. INTRODUCTION. T he position of Sweden can scarcely be called advantageous from the point of view of commercial geography. On its peninsula in the north-west cor- ner of Europe, and with its northern boundary abutting on the Polar world, it forms a backwater to the main stream of Continental communications. The southern boundary of Sweden lies in the same latitude as the boundary between Scotland and England, and as Labrador and British Columbia in America; while its northern boundary lies in the same latitude as the northern half of Greenland and the Arctic archipelago of America. -
