Results are compared with published data on requirements for growth of Antarctic macroalgae. The investigated season showed two distinct periods: Early summer lasted until end of December with comparatively cold temperatures, unstable water column and deep penetration of light; late summer started in early January and was characterized by reduced salinity due to meltwater discharge and high turbidity due to suspended sediments. Meltwater influence did not sufficiently change salinity to be responsible for the frequently noted paucity of macroalgal communities in sheltered bays. Shading by suspended sediments was equally considered to be of minor importance, as macroalgae have their optimal growth phase from September to December. During this period, light penetration and depth distribution of macro algae coincide perfectlY.

Some of us had arrived in the southern city of Invercargill on the fertile plains of Southland yesterday and the remainder today. Apart for a fast moving front with rain and wind last evening, today was beautiful and we were soon comfortably settled in the Kelvin Hotel. The expedition team had arrived from Christchurch on Sunday. At the Kelvin Hotel we enjoyed meeting fellow passengers and Nathan Russ who first visited Antarctica when nine years old and became Head Chef when 18. Nathan has for the past decade been Operations Manager for the company. The ship’s Hotel Manager Nikki from Cairns Australia and seasoned Antarctican and Expedition Leader, Samuel Blanc, who has wintered at the French Antarctic station, Dumont D’Urville, was introduced along with the New Zealand Government Department of Conservation Representative, Jenny Ridgen and other members of his team.

  • Russian High Arctic
    RUSSIAN HIGH ARCTIC Rarely visited today yet significant in the history of polar exploration, Franz Josef Land is worthy of its legendary reputation. This extraordinary expedition to Franz Josef Land is as unique and authentic as the place itself. Starting in Longyearbyen in the Norwegian territory of Svalbard, we cross the icy, wildlife-rich Barents Sea to the Russian High Arctic. In Franz Josef Land we discover unparalleled landscapes, wildlife, and history in one of the wildest and most remote corners of the Arctic. The archipelago, part of the Russian Arctic National Park since 2012, is a nature sanctuary. Polar bears and other like Bell Island, Cape Flora, and Cape Tegetthoff we have the quintessential High Arctic wildlife--such as walruses and some opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Fridtjof Nansen, Frederick rare whale species--can be spotted anytime, anywhere in and George Jackson, Julius von Payer, and other polar explorers. At around Franz Josef Land. Scree slopes and cliffs around the Tikhaya Bukhta we find the ruins of a Soviet-era research facility islands host enormous nesting colonies of migratory seabirds that was also a major base for polar expeditions.

Previous aeromagnetic investigations in northern Victoria Land have delineated Cenozoic volcanic and intrusive complexes assigned to the McMurdo Volcanic Group and Meander Intrusives over the Transantarctic Mountains. We present a new aeromagnetic anomaly map for the region north of the Mariner Glacier to study the extent and spatial distribution of these Cenozoic rocks over the previously unexplored Admiralty Mountains.

  • Explorateur Et Peintre De L'arctique
    Le Nord et la fascination du sublime. Julius Payer (1841-1915), explorateur et peintre de l’Arctique Mathilde Roussat Université de Paris X-Nanterre (France) et Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Allemagne) Résumé – Julius Payer (1841-1915) compte parmi les grandes figures de l’exploration polaire. Mais il fut aussi, dans les années 1880-1890, un peintre reconnu pour des œuvres inspirées par son expérience du Grand Nord. Abandonnant l’approche scientifique, Payer tenta de faire de l’Arctique un nouveau sujet pour l’art. L’analyse de ses réalisations permet d’en faire ressortir l’allégeance aux pratiques académiques et le tribut payé à un sublime à la fois terrible et magnifique. L’aveu d’échec formulé par l’artiste à la fin du siècle articule enfin de manière décisive nordicité et sublimité en établissant le pôle comme irreprésentable et en suggérant sa dimension métaphysique. L’hostilité des contrées polaires a longtemps fait envisager ces territoires sous l’angle du seul défi technique et scientifique. Lieu de mise à l’épreuve des explorateurs, quand ce n’est pas de leur disparition tragique, l’Arctique reste jusqu’au début du XXe siècle une terre pratiquement inconnue dont la connaissance et la maîtrise se dérobent malgré les assauts répétés d’expéditions initiées par les différentes nations occidentales. Si l’exploration a été, pendant un temps, le fait de commerçants en quête de nouveaux territoires de pêche ou de nouvelles voies maritimes, les bénéfices de ces initiatives sont en effet devenus très vite bien trop hasardeux en regard des risques encourus. À partir du XIXe siècle, ce sont donc les États européens et nord-américains qui reprennent le flambeau d’investigations animées par l’espoir patriotique de voir le succès d’une expédition affirmer la supériorité technique de la nation commanditaire.
