Magazine, November 1850. II. Bnterpeise and Investigatoe, Captain J. C. Ross, wintered in Port Leopold 1848-49. Account kept on board the last named vessel shows the " number of birds killed to have amounted to about 4,000, yielding near 2,500 lbs. of meat. But more than this was obtained if the number shot by individuals for amusement, and not always noted, be included. Nautical Magazine, xix, p. 1 66. III.—Sir John Ross, when at Boothia Felix, 1829-33, found musk oxen, deer, bears, foxes, hares, &c., frequent; and partridges, ptarmigans, and ducks, numerous. Salmon were very abundant in the lakes—in one instance (see Voyage, p. 583) 3,378 were taken at a single haul. The fish averaged, when cleaned, 3 lbs. I v.—Sir W. E. Parry, wintering at Melville Island, 1819-20, found Polar hare very abundant—considerable numbers shot during the summer as a supply of provisions for the ships' companies—average weight about 81bs. Musk oxen, only three killed. Rein-deer in considerable numbers from May to October—twenty-four were killed during that interval. Snow bunting very numerous. Rock grouse in great abundance—are easily killed, especially in the breeding season, when the female will suffer herself to be taken on the nest. KUled in considerable numbers at Melville Island as a supply of provisions to the ships' companies. Golden plover in considerable abundance. Ring plover abundant on the shores of Possession Bay and Prince B£gent''s Irdet. Brent goose in great numbers on the island. King duck very abundant. V.—Parry (1821-23) referring to Melville Peninsula, says (Voyage, p. 612), that " the rein-deer are killed by the Esquimaux in great abundance in the summer season. For several weeks in the course of the year the natives retire to the banks of lakes in the interior, which they represent as abounding with salmon, whUe the pasture near them affords good feeding to numerous herds of deer." * Where the vegetable matter of the earth's surface i3 carpeted with snow, the purity of the air must be great, and high winds, unchecked by forests, must convey horizontally any scent to an amazing distance ; but to the keen noses of carnivorous creatures, the smoke and fumes from ft'ied animal matter must be enticing from an immense range. It is comforting to think that this power of allurement will assist Franklin's means of eking out his existence. Exiractfrom (page 75) Gaptmn Beecliey'a North Polar Voyage, H.M.S. Doeothea and Trent, under Captain Tlavld Buchan. " We set fire to some sea-horse fat, in order to entice within reach of our muskets any bears that might be ranging the ice.

It includes considerations on how the carved objects affected and played a role in Dorset social life. To consider the role of people, things and other beings that may be said to play as actors in interdependent entanglements of actions, the agency/actor- network theory is employed. From this theoretical review an interpretation of social life as created by the ways people interact with the material world is presented. This framework is employed as a lens into the social role and meaning the carvings played in the Dorset society. The examined assemblages were recovered from a series of Dorset settlement sites, mainly in house, midden, and burial contexts, providing a substantive case study through which variations and themes of carvings are studied.

  • POLYNYAS in the CANADIAN ARCTIC Analysis of MODIS Sea Ice Temperature Data Between June 2002 and July 2013
    Canatec Associates International Ltd. POLYNYAS IN THE CANADIAN ARCTIC Analysis of MODIS Sea Ice Temperature Data Between June 2002 and July 2013 David Currie 7/16/2014 Using daily sea ice temperature grids produced from MODIS optical satellite imagery, polynya occurrences in the Canadian Arctic and Northwest Greenland were mapped with a spatial resolution of one square kilometer and a temporal resolution of one week. The eleven year dataset was used to identify and measure locations with a high probability of open water occurrence. This approach appears to be most suitable for the spring months, when polynyas and shore leads represent the only open water in the region. An analysis of the results at several geographic scales reveals considerable yearly variation in polynya extents, although the relatively short period studied makes identifying trends rather difficult.

  • The English at the North Pole by Jules Verne
    The English at the North Pole By Jules Verne 1 CHAPTER I THE "FORWARD" "To-morrow, at low tide, the brig Forward, Captain K. Z----, Richard Shandon mate, will start from New Prince's Docks for an unknown destination." The foregoing might have been read in the Liverpool Herald of April 5th, 1860. The departure of a brig is an event of little importance for the most commercial port in England. Who would notice it in the midst of vessels of all sorts of tonnage and nationality that six miles of docks can hardly contain? However, from daybreak on the 6th of April a considerable crowd covered the wharfs of New Prince's Docks--the innumerable companies of sailors of the town seemed to have met there. Workmen from the neighbouring wharfs had left their work, merchants their dark counting-houses, tradesmen their shops. The different-coloured omnibuses that ran along the exterior wall of the docks brought cargoes of spectators at every moment; the town seemed to have but one pre-occupation, and that was to see the Forward go out. The Forward was a vessel of a hundred and seventy tons, charged with a screw and steam-engine of a hundred and twenty horse-power. It might easily have been confounded with the other brigs in the port. But though it offered nothing curious to the eyes of the public, 2 connoisseurs remarked certain peculiarities in it that a sailor cannot mistake. On board the Nautilus, anchored at a little distance, a group of sailors were hazarding a thousand conjectures about the destination of the Forward.

  • Exploration History and Mineral Potential of the Central Arctic Zn-Pb District, Nunavut KEITH DEWING,1 ROBERT J
    ARCTIC VOL. 59, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 2006) P. 415– 427 Exploration History and Mineral Potential of the Central Arctic Zn-Pb District, Nunavut KEITH DEWING,1 ROBERT J. SHARP2 and TED MURARO3 (Received 23 March 2006; accepted in revised form 25 July 2006) ABSTRACT. Exploration in the central Arctic Zn-Pb District took place in five phases: 1) an initial exploration period (1960– 70), during which most surface showings on Cornwallis and Little Cornwallis islands were found; 2) a discovery period (1971– 79), during which the buried Polaris ore body was discovered and its feasibility and viability established, new showings were found farther afield, and many showings received limited drill testing; 3) the production period (1980–88), dominated by drilling at Polaris Mine; 4) an ore-replacement exploration period (1989–2001), during which showings close to Polaris were extensively drilled, showings on Cornwallis Island drill tested, and new showings found and drilled farther away; and 5) a reclamation period (2002–05), during which the infrastructure was removed and the mine site restored. Factors affecting the timing and rate of exploration were generally intrinsic to the region: 1) discovery of showings in 1960, 2) discovery of the Polaris ore body in 1971, 3) declining reserves between 1989 and 2002, 4) closure of the mine in 2002, 5) the short exploration season and difficult logistics, and 6) lack of competition. The external drivers of exploration were 1) oil-related exploration that led to the discovery of the Polaris showings, 2) the onset of regional exploration coinciding with spikes in the price of zinc, and 3) the surge in scientific interest in carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb deposits in 1967.

  • Synopsis of the Polaris Zn-Pb District, Canadian Arctic
    SYNOPSIS OF THE POLARIS ZN-P B DISTRICT , C ANADIAN ARCTIC ISLANDS , N UNAVUT KEITH DEWING 1, R OBERT J. S HARP 2 , AND ELIZABETH TURNER 3 1. Geological Survey of Canada, 3303-33rd Street NW, Calgary, Alberta T2L 2A7 2. Trans Polar Geological, 60 Hawkmount Heights NW, Calgar,y Alberta T3G 3S5 3. Department of Earth Science, Laurentian University, Sudbury, Ontario, P3E 2C6 Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] Abstract The Polaris Mine was a Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) deposit hosted in dolomitized Middle Ordovician lime - stone. Total production was 20.1 Mt at 13.4% Zn and 3.6% Pb. There are about 80 showings in the district, which stretches from Somerset Island to the Grinnell Peninsula. There are two deposit types in the Polaris District: 1) struc - turally controlled, carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb-Fe deposits typical of MVT deposits, and 2) structurally and stratigraphi - cally controlled, carbonate-hosted Cu deposits enriched by later supergene removal of Fe and S. Mineralization is paragenetically simple, with sphalerite and galena as the ore minerals, and with dolomite and mar - casite as the main gangue minerals. The deposits formed from brines at about 90 to 100°C. The age of the mineraliza - tion is constrained to post-Late Devonian folding and may be associated with the last stages of the Ellesmerian Orogeny or the opening of the Sverdrup Basin. Copper-rich mineralization is known from four showings, is associated with zinc- lead mineralization and is confined to a single interval in the Silurian. The metallogenic model for Polaris invokes a source of metal ions within the stratigraphic column since strontium shows no indication of basement involvement.
