Abstract:

A glaciological programme was carried out as part of the NORDQUA 86 expedition to the Thule area, Nbrth Greenland, from 7 to 24 August 1986. The expedition included researchers from the five Nordic countries and Great Britain and was organised by the Geological Museum, Copenhagen (Funder, in press). The expedition had a Quaternary geological programme, as well as a glaciological programme dealing with the climatic history and ice-sheet dynamics before and during the last Ice Age in the area.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTKnud Rasmussen (1879–1933), born in Greenland of Danish-Inuit stock, spent his childhood in Greenland. After schooling in Denmark he returned to Greenland for expeditions to the Inuit of the northeast, establishing by his late twenties a reputation as explorer and ethnographer. He undertook seven major expeditions to the Arctic, collecting ethnographic, archaeological, meteorological, geological, zoological and botanic data. His longest and best-known journey was the Fifth Thule Expedition, in which he travelled by dog sledge across Arctic America from Danish Island in the east to Nome, Alaska. His extensive record of the culture of Inuit groups met on his journeys remains one of the most valuable collections of Inuit folklore in existence.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTPreviously unpublished information from John Ross's expedition of 1829–33 to the Canadian Arctic indicates that Netsilik Inuit at that time manufactured and used clay-based ceramic pots. Additional published ethnohistoric and ethnographic sources indicate that the Sadlermiut Inuit, and probably the Utkuhikjalik and Qaernerimiut Inuit, also possessed ceramic technology. Considered in conjunction with survival characteristics of pottery, this suggests that the Thule ceramic complex was not restricted to early stages of Thule culture (AD 1000–1200) in the Eastern Arctic, but, at least in some areas, continued through to the early Historic period.

Abstract:

AbstractA detailed report which the RCMP officer at Herschel Island forwarded to his superiors in Edmonton after Knud Rasmussen had passed through, during the Fifth Thule Expedition, is reproduced here verbatim. Even though the text is not in Rasmussen's own words, it appears to usefully complement and expand the existing picture of him as a researcher. It, at the same time, also reveals some undeniable flaws.

Abstract:

AbstractIn 1875, members of the British Arctic Expedition under the command of George S. Nares discovered two ancient-looking stone cairns on Washington Irving Island at the entrance to Dobbin Bay, eastern Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. At least one of these cairns was destroyed by the expedition members to construct their own cairn. The possibility that these cairns were built by Norse voyagers to Kane Basin is supported by the large number of Norse artifacts recovered from Thule culture Inuit sites in the Bache Peninsula region just south of Washington Irving Island. Surveys of the island have identified scattered boulders marking the location of the cairns, but the question of the builders' identity still remains a mystery.

Abstract:

Proterozoic sedimentary and associated igneous rocks along the margin of the Precambrian crystalline shield in North Greenland have been studied by several geological field-teams since 1912 when they were first investigated during the First Thule Expedition. More recently, the Proterozoic strata of North Greenland have been studied in greater detail by the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) during the North Greenland Project of 1978-80 and 1983-85. The present paper reviews these studies in an attempt to elucidate the development of the sedimentary basins in North Greenland during the Proterozoic.

Abstract:

Abstract The authors report a case of acute mountain sickness (AMS) experienced by a support member of the Ultima Thule Everest Expedition. The subject arrived at the 17,000-ft base camp by truck and then developed the symptoms of AMS over the following 72 hours. Flash-induced visual evoked responses (VERs), tetrapolar impedance pulmonary plethysmography, and oxygen saturation measurements were performed. These changed from normal before the onset of his symptoms to abnormal during the height of the symptoms and reverted to normal after treatment. This is the first reported case of AMS monitored with VERs. It has been postulated that AMS may be an early form of cerebral edema, and this report corroborates this hypothesis.

Abstract:

AbstractThe ship Fox, built in Aberdeen in 1855 as a yacht, was used by Francis Leopold McClintock on his successful search for relics of Sir John Franklin's lost expedition. She was then chartered for one summer for Allen Young and John Rae to survey a route for a trans-Atlantic cable via the Faeroes, Iceland, and Greenland, after which she was in the services of the Kryolith Mine og Handelsselskabet, based at Ivigtut, southwest Greenland, for many years. In 1905, under charter, she made a historically significant voyage to Thule in northwest Greenland. After this she was owned by the Kongelige Grønlanske Handel and used for coastal freighting, until in 1912 she was condemned and abandoned in Qeqertarsuaq (Godhavn) Harbour, where remnants may be seen today.

Abstract:

This report contains the geological and glaciological results of the NORDQUA 86 expedition to Thule, Northwest Greenland. Coastal sections along Wolstenholme Fjord provide a detailed record of glacial and marine events during isotope stage 5 (74-134 ka), on the northern perimeter of Baffin Bay. The record has been dated by a combination of thermoluminescence and C-14 dating. Amino acid analyses of marine mollusc shells afford local and regional correlations, while periods with penetration of warm subarctic water have been identified by their foraminifer and mollusc faunas. There were two marine episodes with influx of subarctic water. Between the two marine episodes (at 114 ± 10 ka) maximum, although restricted, Weichselian ice coverage was attained. After this, and until the Late Weichselian, ice coverage was similar to or smaller than at present. In Late Weichselian times there was a readvance of glaciers, also associated with influx of subarctic water. The record provides for the first time a link between events in arctic Canada and Greenland, and shows that in the northern Baffin Bay region there is a causal relationship between hydrography and glaciation. Samples of glacier ice from two cross sections of the ice margin all show a Holocene stable isotope signal. Although there are several possible explanations for this, this finding is in agreement with the small extent of ice cover during the Weichselian. It also seems likely that the local "Tuto ice dome" did not exist during the Holocene climatic optimum.

Abstract:

Abstract The Danish ethnographer Knud Rasmussen (1879-1935) led the Fifth Thule Expedition across northern Canada from Baffin Island to Alaska during the years 1921-1924. This expedition constituted the first traverse of the North west Passage by dog sled. Along the way, Rasmussen made detailed ethnological and archaeological studies of the Inuit, a research project that eventually produced a monumental ten-volume work totalling over 5,000 pages. Rasmussen was interested in all cultural aspects of the Eskimo as they are found in the circumpolar north. Toward this end, he gathered and translated Eskimo folk tales, oral narratives, religious myths, songs; and poems. These poems are found scattered through the many volumes of his study, a few volumes of which were published posthumously.
