P. & Ohta, Y. 1995: Surface magnetic anomaly study on the eastern part of the Forlandsundet Graben. Polar Research 14(1), 55-68. A surface magnetic survey was carried out by use of a proton magnetometer over wide strandflats along the eastern coast of Forlandsundet, western Spitsbergen, to decipher subsurface structures and lithologies. Distinctive linear high-anomaly segments and zones were recognised on the magnetic anomaly maps. These zones coincide well with the eastern marginal fault of the Tertiary Forlandsundet Graben and associated faults north of St. Jonsfjorden, while they reflect bedrock lithologies in the south. The high-anomaly segments, which constitute the zones, are locally aligned in a left-stepping. en echelon arrangement within the zones, indicating a dextral transpressional stress regime on the eastern marginal fault of the graben during a certain time.

  • Through the North Atlantic - from Scotland to Svalbard
    THROUGH THE NORTH ATLANTIC - FROM SCOTLAND TO SVALBARD There are few wilder, more magnificent and untouched places than the Arctic Islands of the North Atlantic! And no ships more suited than Ocean Atlantic for such a voyage. Join us for an early summer's cruise from Aberdeen to the lush green Shetland isles, the Faroe Islands small capital Tórshavn and the North Atlantic to the Arctic islands of Jan Mayen and Svalbard. We will travel north along with the migrating birds, and hopefully spot the polar bears hunting from the sea ice in the 24-hour daylight. The cruise starts in Aberdeen on the Scottish East Coast. Here we embark Albatros Expedition's vessel, the comfortable Ocean Atlantic, which is our home for the next 11 days. Our first stop is Smeerenburg and hopefully as far as Yttre Norskøya in the far cozy Lerwick on “main” Shetland, then we venture further north North west corner of Spitsbergen Island. Weather and ice to Tórshavn on the Faroe Islands. After a day at sea spotting for conditions will often dictate the course, but each landing with seabirds and whales we reach the enigmatic and isolated island Zodiac-boats will still be unique and adventurous. of Jan Mayen with its looming 2,200-meter high volcano of Beerenberg. We travel north with the spring and 24-hour The cruise does not have any special requirements for you as a daylight until we reach the snow-covered mountains of participant, but it is assumed that you are in good shape, agile Svalbard. Sea ice will still cover many fjords, but with an ice and good on your legs.

  • Western Spitsbergen, 2019
    Western Spitsbergen, July 2019. Four days, 13 species, including polar bear, bowhead whale, blue whale, Arctic fox. Jon Swenson My wife, brother- and sister-in-law planned a cruise to Svalbard Archipelago. They have “only” an average interest in mammals and birds, so we could not order a specialized mammal-oriented tour. I spoke with colleagues who conduct biological research on Svalbard, considered prices, and considered our interests. We chose a cruise with Hurtigruten along the west coast of Spitsbergen. My colleagues told me that a more designated, mammal-oriented cruise should include the eastern coast, which is more arctic and has more polar bears and seals, but it takes much longer and is considerably more expensive. Our ship, the M/S Nordstjernen, now taken out of service, on the west coast of Spitzbergen Island, Svalbard Archipelago. Our route along the western coast of Spitzbergen Island, Svalbard Archipelago. My colleagues and the personnel on the ship told me that seeing most mammals on Svalbard is “hit or miss”, but that chances to see walrus and seals were good. Therefore, to not be overly optimistic, I made a wish list that included four species; polar bear (50% chance on this cruise, I was told), Arctic fox (“seen sometimes, but especially in Barentsburg”), beluga (“not uncommon along the coast”), and walrus (“should see some”). I asked about blue whale, but this is rare, and bowhead whale, but this pelagic species is almost never seen. Even though this did not sound very promising, it turned out to be a productive and very successful trip for all of us.

  • The Ortelius Incident in the Hinlopen Strait—A Case Study on How Satellite-Based AIS Can Support Search and Rescue Operations in Remote Waters
    resources Case Report The Ortelius Incident in the Hinlopen Strait—A Case Study on How Satellite-Based AIS Can Support Search and Rescue Operations in Remote Waters Johnny Grøneng Aase 1,2 ID 1 Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, Private Bag 129, Hobart, TAS 7001, Australia; [email protected] 2 Department of Research and Development, Norwegian Defence Cyber Academy, P.O. Box 800, Postmottak, NO-2617 Lillehammer, Norway; [email protected]; Tel.: +47-9285-2550 Received: 26 April 2017; Accepted: 24 July 2017; Published: 27 July 2017 Abstract: In this paper, Automatic Identification System (AIS) data collected from space is used to demonstrate how the data can support search and rescue (SAR) operations in remote waters. The data was recorded by the Norwegian polar orbiting satellite AISSat-1. This is a case study discussing the Ortelius incident in Svalbard in early June 2016. The tourist vessel flying the flag of Cyprus experienced engine failure in a remote part of the Arctic Archipelago. The passengers and crew were not harmed. There were no Norwegian Coast Guard vessels in the vicinity. The Governor of Svalbard had to deploy her vessel Polarsyssel to assist the Ortelius. The paper shows that satellite-based AIS enables SAR coordination centers to swiftly determine the identity and precise location of vessels in the vicinity of the troubled ship. This knowledge makes it easier to coordinate SAR operations. Keywords: tourism; polar; search and rescue; SAR; Arctic; Svalbard; AISSat-1; Ortelius 1. Introduction On Friday 3 June 2016 at 12:30 am local time, the tourist vessel Ortelius reported engine trouble in the vicinity of the Vaigatt Islands in the Hinlopen Strait.

  • Spitsbergen & the Svalbard Archipelago 2019
    Field Guides Tour Report The Norwegian Arctic: Spitsbergen & the Svalbard Archipelago 2019 Jun 26, 2019 to Jul 6, 2019 John Coons & Doug Gochfeld For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Polar Bear. What more is there to say? Actually there is much more to be said for this most-wanted iconic Arctic mammal. This female, who could have been pregnant by the looks of her, was as at home on the pack ice as one could imagine her being anywhere. After a nap, she curiously approached the ship, before eventually sauntering off across the windswept, seemingly desolate sea ice which stretched to the horizon, and indeed beyond the limits of our sight. This was certainly the most anticipated moment by many of the participants on the ship, and with good reason. What a majestic creature! Photo by guide Doug Gochfeld. The Arctic. That word is one of the most evocative of any which describes a region on this planet. There aren’t many places where you can easily access it, and none of those are as far north as Svalbard. Our journey not only got us up to some of the farthest north tundra, but it also brought us into the Arctic sea ice itself. It all started with a flight from Oslo, the culturally rich capital of the northern kingdom of Norway, across the ocean where the Norwegian and Barents Seas meet, to Longyearbyen, the only substantial settlement on the Svalbard Archipelago. The windswept “city,” along the southern shores of Isfjorden, was established as a coal mining settlement many moons ago, but nowadays there is only one very insignificant mine still active, and it has transformed into a tourism & research-centric town.
