A history of Euro-American exploration through 101 artifacts. Protected by remote tundra, undisturbed artifacts from late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century expeditions into Greenland provide a unique window into the history of exploration. Expedition Relics from High Artic Greenland reveals the grueling story of European-American exploration through 101 of these artifacts-from personal documents and carvings to professional equipment and supplies. Discovered at thirty-two sites along Greenland' s northwest coast, these sundry artifacts chart the history of American, British, and Scandinavian exploration in the Artic from 1853 through 1934. Beautifully illustrated, this book offers unprecedented access to one of the most remarkable eras of geographical discovery.
Peter R. Dawes is an emeritus research scientist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland in Copenhagen. He has worked on numerous geological projects in Greenland, Canada, and Australia, eventually specializing in High Arctic Greenland (Avannaarsua), over which he compiled the first post-war geological map in the 1970s.
