  • The Diaries of Tryggve Gran
    PRESS RELEASE | LONDON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | 12 NOVEMBER 2 0 1 8 THE DIAR IES OF TRYGGVE GRAN A SUPREMELY IMPORTANT PIECE OF POLAR HISTORY INCLUDING A FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT OF THE TRAGIC DISCOVERY OF SCOTT’S TENT December – On 12 December, as part of Classic Week, Christie’s auction of Books and Manuscripts will offer two extraordinary sledging journals of the Norwegian polar explorer Tryggve Gran, who accompanied Robert Falcon Scott on the Terra Nova Expedition of 1910 - 1913. The journals have passed by direct descent from Tryggve Gran; their appearance at auction represents a remarkable opportunity to acquire an authentic piece of Polar history, offering an insight into the trials and tribulations of the British Antarctic Expedition here. Featuring two separate journals, one in English and one in Norwegian (estimate: £120,000 - £180,000, illustrated above), these accounts offer additional material, covering his astonishingly prescient dream on the night of 14 December 1911 of Amundsen’s triumph, as well as the search for Scott’s polar party and tragic discovery of the tent. The young Norwegian Tryggve Gran was recruited by Scott as a skiing expert for the Terra Nova Expedition on the recommendation of the explorer and humanitarian Fridtjof Nansen. He would go on to play a valuable role in the second geological expedition (November 1911-February 1912), which collected data in the Granite Harbour region. A particularly emotional entry in his diary takes place on 12 November 1912, when Gran discovered the tent with the frozen bodies of Scott, Wilson and Bowers: ‘It has happened – we have found what we sought – horrible, ugly fate – Only 11 miles from One Ton Depot – The Owner, Wilson & Birdie.

  • Spatial Variation in Arctic Hare (Lepus Arcticus) Populations Around the Hall Basin
    Spatial variation in Arctic hare (Lepus arcticus) populations around the Hall Basin Fredrik Dalerum1,2,3, Love Dalén2,4, Christina Fröjd5, Nicolas Lecomte6, Åsa Lindgren5, Tomas Meijer2,7, Patricia Pecnerova2,4, Anders Angerbjörn2 1 Research Unit of Biodiversity, Department of Biology of Organisms and Systems, University of Oviedo, Spain 2 Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, Sweden 3 Mammal Research Institute, Department of Zoology, University of Pretoria, South Africa 4 Department of Bioinformatics and Genetics, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Sweden 5 Swedish Polar Research Secretariat, Sweden 6 Canada Research Chair in Polar and Boreal Ecology and Centre d’Études Nordiques, Department of Biology, University of Moncton, Canada 7 Section for Wildlife Diseases, Swedish National Veterinary Institute, Travvägen 12A, 756 51 Uppsala, Sweden Published in Polar Biology, October 2017, Volume 40, Issue 10, pp 2113–2118 1 Abstract Arctic environments have relatively simple ecosystems. Yet, we still lack knowledge of the spatio- temporal dynamics of many Arctic organisms and how they are affected by local and regional processes. The Arctic hare (Lepus arcticus) is a large lagomorph endemic to high Arctic environments in Canada and Greenland. Current knowledge about this herbivore is scarce and the temporal and spatial dynamics of their populations are poorly understood. Here we present observations on Arctic hares in two sites on north Greenland (Hall and Washington lands) and one adjacent site on Ellesmere Island (Judge Daly Promontory). We recorded a large range of group sizes from 1 to 135 individuals, as well as a substantial variation in hare densities among the three sites (Hall land: 0 animals / 100 km2, Washington land 14.5-186.7 animals / 100 km2, Judge Daly Promontory 0.18-2.95 animals / 100 km2).

    ARCTIC VOL. 71, NO. 3 (SEPTEMBER 2018) P. 334 – 348 https://doi.org/10.14430/arctic4735 Seal Occurrence and Habitat Use during Summer in Petermann Fjord, Northwestern Greenland Kate Lomac-MacNair,1,2 Martin Jakobsson,3 Alan Mix,4 Francis Freire,3 Kelly Hogan,5 Larry Mayer6 and Mari A. Smultea2 (Received 29 June 2017; accepted in revised form 30 May 2018) ABSTRACT. Ice-associated seals are considered especially susceptible and are potentially the first to modify distribution and habitat use in response to physical changes associated with the changing climate. Petermann Glacier, part of a unique ice-tongue fjord environment in a rarely studied region of northwestern Greenland, lost substantial sections of its ice tongue during major 2010 and 2012 calving events. As a result, changes in seal habitat may have occurred. Seal occurrence and distribution data were collected in Petermann Fjord and adjacent Nares Strait region over 27 days (2 to 28 August) during the multidisciplinary scientific Petermann 2015 Expedition on the icebreaker Oden. During 239.4 hours of dedicated observation effort, a total of 312 individuals were recorded, representing four species: bearded seal (Erignathus barbatus), hooded seal (Crystophora cristata), harp seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus), and ringed seal (Pusa hispida). Ringed seals were recorded significantly more than the other species (χ2 = 347.4, df = 3, p < 0.001, n = 307). We found significant differences between species in haul-out (resting on ice) behavior (χ2 = 133.1, df = 3, p < 0.001, n = 307). Bearded seals were more frequently hauled out (73.1% n = 49), whereas ringed seals were almost exclusively in water (93.9%, n = 200).

  • Arado Ar 234 "Blitz" in Soviet Service Armstrong Whitworth "Albemarle" In
    This production list is presented to you by the editorial team of "Soviet Transports" - current to the beginning of January 2021. Additions and corrections are welcome at [email protected] Arado Ar 234 "Blitz" in Soviet service Soviet troops captured one example of the world's first jet bomber in northern Germany in spring 1945 (Russian sources state that it was found at Pütnitz in March, but Pütnitz was occupied by the Red Army only on 2 May). The aircraft underwent short trials at Rechlin in early 1946, but suffered from repeated engine problems. As the Soviet specialists involved in the trials were not impressed by the "Blitz" they refrained from sending it to the Soviet Union. It is probable that further Ar 234s (especially of the Ar 234C-3 version) fell into Soviet hands when the Red Army captured the Arado factory at Alt-Lönnewitz (Brandenburg) on 24 April 1945. One Russian source states that one Ar 234B and one Ar 234C were despatched to the Soviet Union where they underwent comprehensive study - in particular, one of the aircraft was thoroughly examined by BNT, the Bureau of New Technology. One of the captured Ar 234s was restored to airworthy condition in 1946 and used by the LII for testing brake parachutes. 140355 no code Ar 234B-2 Soviet Air Force f/f 30nov44 previously opb KG 76 of the German Air Force; in dark green/brown purple camo c/s with light grey undersides, the last letter of the unit code may have been an 'F'; captured by Soviet troops in damaged condition (after a forced landing) reportedly at Pütnitz mar45, but

OvERSTREET2 1 The Charles A. Dana Research Institute for Scientists Emeriti, Drew University, Madison, New Jersey 07940 and 2 Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Ocean Springs, Mississippi 39564 ABSTRACT: Scientific investigations were a feature of Captain R. F. Scott's ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1910-1912. Among them was a study of parasitic worms in the coastal wildlife of Antarctica. It was the special project of Surgeon Edward L. Atkinson, whose scientific contributions, like his passion for high adventure, have largely been forgotten. The new parasitic species that he discovered were given names that were intended to honor the Expedition and many of its members. However, it was not then usual for new species descriptions to include an explanation of the proposed new binomials, and the significance of these particular names is not obvious to modern readers. This article examines the historical connection between the names of Atkinson's worms and the individuals and exploits commemorated by those names. KEY WORDS: Antarctica, helminths, history, marine parasites.

    Mystery of the Third trip or time pressure Levanevskogo The author-composer: Kostarev Evgeny . 2007/2008 Part 1. Start "Flying high above, and the farthest the fastest! " Battle cry of the Soviet government. Shortcut In autumn 1934 the Hero of the Soviet Union, the polar marine pilot Sigismund Alexandrovich Levanevskogo enticed by the idea Flight. He was the first in the Soviet Union, who suggested the idea of non-stop flight across the North Pole. The starting point of the route was Moscow; fit to accomplish the same in the U.S. The Soviet government in this project was received with great interest and supported the idea of non-stop transpolar flight. Of course! From Moscow to San Francisco can be reached in three ways - through the pole across the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean. In this case, the distance will be 9,605 km, 14,000 km and 18,000 respectively. Sigismund Levanevsky Zygmunt A. Levanevsky - a very controversial figure in the history of Soviet aviation. He was born in 1902 in St. Petersburg. Levanevskogo father, a Polish worker, died when he was only 8 years old. In 1916, after graduating from three classes of the district school, Sigismund gave up teaching and went to work in a factory the company "Spring" in order to feed his family. Revolution scattered Levanevskogo the world - Sigismund in 1919, joined the Red Army, and his family moved from Petrograd. During the Civil War Levanevsky managed to get a fighter requisition, party members, eliminate gangs in Dagestan, and assistant warden 4th aeronautic squad in Petrograd.
