The sym­ posium's title was "Cross cultural contacts and the environment in the Baffin Bay area" and it was held in Groningen, The Netherlands, on 18-19 September 1986. The centre's earlier symposia have dealt with Arctic whaling, early European exploitation of the North Atlantic, Spitsbergen, Inuit culture in Greenland, and Scandinavian Arctic cultures. The Arctic Centre wishes to acknowledge the financial support given by the Royal Dutch Academy of Science, the Willem Barentsz Stichting, and the Faculty of Arts of the University of Groningen. The symposium which was projected by the Board of the Arctic Centre, was planned and set up by an organizing committee comprising the editors of these proceedings and Mr. Herbert prins, to whom their special thanks are due for his wise advice and attention to practi­ cal detail. The committee wishes to place on record here its thanks to all who helped to set up the symposium and who contributed to its success. They included not only everyone of the contributors, organisers and participants, but also personnel of the Groningen Faculty of Arts, espe­ cially those of the congress bureau, as well as Mrs. Gonnie Goossens, who entertained us with colour slides of icebergs set to music. Finally, the editors wish to thank Mrs. Tineke Datema-Ruben, secretary of the Arctic Centre, and her colleagues and helpers in the secretariat, for their patience and skill in converting much corrected and often partly illegible typescripts in varying styles into a finished print-out. Although we have standardized the spelling of place names as between the different papers printed here, and adopted a uniform editorial style for all of them, we have attempted neither to impose a uniform spelling in general nor a uniform use of terms. For instance, the words 'Inuit' and 'Eskimos' are treated as equally accceptable alternatives. References in one contribution to another have only excep­ tionally been inserted, it being thought desirable to print the papers as near as possible in their original form. There «ere two substantial changes from the programme as originally planned: Mr. Gerti Nooter had perforce to withdra\·/ his contribution, and Dr. F.O.Kapel very kindly agreed to present Dr. E.W.Born's paper in his absence.

The function of the symposium was to bring their work together, to jux­ tapose their hypotheses, to reveal discrepancies between their conclusions, above all to show where problems exist and point to their nature. Thus the reader must not be surprised to find one author calling the native inhabitants of northwest Greenland 'Polar Eskimos' and another calling them 'Thule Inuit'; one stating they were isolated in the years before 1818, another demonstrating that they were not. Such disparities only serve to underline the value of holding symposia like this one. Out of such a concourse and confrontation of individual studies systematic and certain knowledge may hopefully emerge. Is there any foreseeable outcome or end-product of the different stUdies gathered together here? The first and most brilliant attempt to write the complete history of a sea was Fernand Braudel's La Mediterranee. In his wake t historians began to look at the North Sea in a new light, a light coloured by the connections between peoples around its shores. Is it too far-fetched to think of Baffin Bay, and its associated seas Davis Strait and the Labrador Sea, as a single entity, and to trace the history of the peoples on these shores against the background of their environment? The Norsemen or Vikings, it now appears, created a kind of sea-empire or maritime territory for themselves out of these waters just as they already had done in the North Sea and the North Atlantic. Perhaps some day it will be possible to reconstruct not only the Viking history of Baffin Bay but also the total history of human activities round the seas which divide Greenland from America. This symposium could be construed as a first small step towards such a goal. In recent times the brute forces of politics and warfare, symptoms of nationalism, have in many places obliterated the past, obscuring or replacing the lasting and meaningful processes of history. Thus the geographical unity of Baffin Bay vias divided by the imperalisms of Britain and Denmark. NOI. we have Canada (I.ith sporadic intrusions by the United States into her Arctic domains there) on one side of Baffin Bay, and an emerging, dare one suggest nationalistic, Greenland on the other. This new Greenland is rapidly replacing the old Danish Greenland, though the Thule dis­ trict was only formally taken over by Denmark as recently as 1937. The real human unity of the area has been obscured by these developments. That unity was provided by the Inuit inhabitants and their predecessors the so-called Palaeoeskimos who, at one time or another, have settled on almost every shore between the Labrador Sea and·Smith Sound. Here they lived and survived, in tiny,scattered, 7 nomadic hunting communities, for thousands of years, until the modern world disrupted and transformed their way of life and engulfed and all but obliterated them. Historians Iqrite in this respect about the 'contact period', but the word contact is perhaps none too appropriate except in the sense that a road roller makes contact Iqith a hazel nut \'lhen it runs over it. The material presented at this symposium brings together, be it noted, the two sides of Baffin Bay, for more than half the papers corne from Canada and Denmark. Most of them are concerned, directly or indirectly, with the impact on the native inhabitants of successive white incursions into Baffin Bay. Beginning with the Vikings, we continue with a consideration of the effects of Basque activities in Labrador on both Indians and Eskimos, with the eigtheenth­ century Dutch whalers' impact on the Eskimos of Greenland's west coast, with the arrival of English and Scottish ex­ plorers and whalers in the Thule district in the nineteenth century and, finally, the delicately balanced subsistence hunting economy of the Polar Eskimos is considered in rela­ tion, among other things, to the impact on it of ideological activities like the campaign against the sale of seal skins.

  • Iceland: an Exhibit in Special Collections
    Iceland: An Exhibit in Special Collections Iceland: An Exhibit in Special Collections July 10 through October 2017 With the Libraries’ acquisition of Chester Thordarson’s collection in the late 1940s came many titles in Icelandic and about Iceland. Guest exhibit curators Peter Gorman and Todd Michelson-Ambelang have drawn on the Thordarson Collection, as well as other holdings of Special Collections, Memorial Library, Mills Music Library, and the Wisconsin Historical Society, to illustrate Iceland’s natural history, folklore, literature, print culture, and religion. From 16th-century Icelandic Bibles to a recent “intimate portrait of Icelandic ice” by photographer Ian Van Coller, the exhibit affords a glimpse into Iceland’s stark landscape and rich culture and – we hope – encourages viewers to explore further the Libraries’ strong holdings about the land of fire and ice.

Although more than half of the world’s population of puffins live in Iceland, they are abundant from Newfoundland to Ireland and Scotland; the Maine ocean islands provide nesting sites for Atlantic puffins in the United States. One of our colleagues in Central Technical Services and Special Collections, Cindy Lundey (!) has adopted a 14- year-old puffin, Penelope by name, through Audubon Project Puffin in Maine.

  • Xviith CENTURY
    1596. — Bear Island (Beeren Eylandt — Björnöja) is discovered by Barentz who killed a white bear there. Visited in 1603 by Stephen Bennett who called it Cherk IsL after his employer Sir F. Cherie, of the Russian Company. Scoresby visited it in 1822. It was surveyed in 1898 by A. G. Nathorst’s Swedish Arctic expedition. N 1596. — On June 17, W. Barentz and the Dutch, expedition in search of a N.-E. passage, sights West Spitzbergen. He called Groeten Inwick what is now Ice fjord (Hudson’s Great indraught in 1607) a name which was given to it by Poole in 1610. Barentz thought that Spitzbergen was part of Greenland. Barentz also discovered Prince Charles Foreland which he took to be an island and which was called Black point Isle by Poole in 1610. It was in 1612 that English Whalers named it after Prince Charles, son of James VI of Scotland, who became Charles I later. In 1607-1610, following the reports made by Hudson, of the Muscovy Company, a whaling industry was established in Spitzbergen. The scientific exploration of Spitz­ bergen has been going on ever since 1773, which was the year of Captain Phipps’s British expedition in which Horatio Nelson, took part. Explored by Sir Martin 丨Cònway.in 1896. By the Prince of Monaco and Doctor W. S. Bruce in 1906.

  • Ilulissat Icefjord
    World Heritage Scanned Nomination File Name: 1149.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Ilulissat Icefjord DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 7th July 2004 STATE PARTY: DENMARK CRITERIA: N (i) (iii) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 28th Session of the World Heritage Committee Criterion (i): The Ilulissat Icefjord is an outstanding example of a stage in the Earth’s history: the last ice age of the Quaternary Period. The ice-stream is one of the fastest (19m per day) and most active in the world. Its annual calving of over 35 cu. km of ice accounts for 10% of the production of all Greenland calf ice, more than any other glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier has been the object of scientific attention for 250 years and, along with its relative ease of accessibility, has significantly added to the understanding of ice-cap glaciology, climate change and related geomorphic processes. Criterion (iii): The combination of a huge ice sheet and a fast moving glacial ice-stream calving into a fjord covered by icebergs is a phenomenon only seen in Greenland and Antarctica. Ilulissat offers both scientists and visitors easy access for close view of the calving glacier front as it cascades down from the ice sheet and into the ice-choked fjord. The wild and highly scenic combination of rock, ice and sea, along with the dramatic sounds produced by the moving ice, combine to present a memorable natural spectacle. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Located on the west coast of Greenland, 250-km north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord (40,240-ha) is the sea mouth of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the few glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea.

Abstract In order to investigate how Inuit Greenlanders in western Greenland are experiencing, responding to, and thinking about recent allegedly human-induced climate change, this dissertation ethnographically examines the lives of Greenlanders as well as Norse and Danes in the course of past historical natural climate cycles. My emphasis is on human endeavours to cultivate a future in the face of difficulties caused by climatic and environmental transformation. I recognize locals’ initiatives to carve out a future in the promotion of sheep farming and tree-planting in southern Greenland and in adaptation processes of northern Greenlandic hunters to the ever-shifting environment.
