Abstract:

ABSTRACTVisual documenters made a major contribution to the recording of the Heroic Era of Antarctic exploration. By far the best known were the professional photographers, Herbert Ponting and Frank Hurley, hired to photograph British and Australasian expeditions. But a great number of images – photographs and artworks – were also produced by amateurs on lesser known European expeditions and a Japanese one. These amateurs were sometimes designated official illustrators, often scientists recording their research. This paper offers a discursive examination of illustrations from the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897–1899), German Deep Sea Expedition (1898–1899), German South Polar Expedition (1901–1903), Swedish South Polar Expedition (1901–1903), French Antarctic Expedition (1903–1905) and Japanese Antarctic Expedition (1910–1912), assessing their representations of exploration in Antarctica in terms of the tension between emotive/aesthetic and systematic analytic/scientific motifs. Their depictions were influenced by their illustrative skills and their ‘ways of seeing’, produced from their backgrounds and the sponsorship needs of the expedition.

Abstract:

Swedish attempts in 1903–04 to rescue Otto Nordenskjöld's expedition to Antarctica are examined in the context of an international competition involving Sweden, Argentina, and France. The Swedish relief expedition, led by Captain Olof Gyldén, is viewed partly as a little-known expedition and partly for its potential as a major national event. The developments and progress of the Swedish and French expeditions are shown alongside those of the Argentine expedition, which ultimately was successful in its attempts to rescue Nordenskjöld. The Swedish relief expedition never produced a significant national collective memory, unlike several other unsuccessful rescue operations. Potential reasons for this are examined, including the role of internal conflicts among individuals both on the expedition and in Sweden, and the failure to make the expedition a national event. The different attempts to make the relief expedition a major nationalist effort included issues concerning choice of vessel, staff, and equipment; media accounts of competing relief expeditions in which Sweden's positive national features were contrasted with those of ‘others;’ and the views on the competition expressed by various participants.

Abstract:

In 1947 knowledge of Heard Island was confined to a rough mapping compiled by nineteenth-century sealers, and the results of four scientific expeditions that had briefly investigated the Atlas Cove area. Exploration continued in two distinct periods between 1947 and 1971. In the first period the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) built a scientific station at Atlas Cove in 1947, and occupied it continuously until 1955 as an ‘A Class’ meteorological station, a seismic and magnetic observatory, and a base for other scientific studies and for exploration of the island. In the second period four summer expeditions and one wintering expedition worked on the island between 1963 and 1971. The summer expeditions were an ANARE expedition in 1963, an Australian private expedition (The South Indian Ocean Expedition to Heard Island) in 1965, and ANARE expeditions in 1969 and 1971 associated with United States and French expeditions. A United States expedition wintered in 1969. There were no further expeditions until 1980. The years 1947–1971 saw many achievements. Expedition members recorded seven years of synoptic meteorological observations and four years of seismic and magnetic observations. They developed empirical techniques of work, travel, and survival that shaped the collective character of ANARE and were later applied in Antarctica. Despite difficult terrain and consistently bad weather, and the accidental deaths of two men in 1952, unsupported field parties of two or three men travelling on foot explored and mapped in detail the heavily glaciated island, and documented its topography, geology, glaciology and biology. They made three overland circuits of the island, the first ascent of Big Ben (2745 m), and the first recorded landing on the nearby McDonald Islands. Expedition members bred and trained dog teams for later use in Antarctica. They reported the commencement and subsequent progress of massive glacier retreat caused by regional warming, and of the island's colonisation by king penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) and antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella). They also reported measurements of glacier flow and thickness, the palaeomagnetism of Heard Island rocks, behavioural and population studies of southern giant petrels (Macronectes giganteus) and other birds, studies of southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) and leopard seals (Hydrurga leptonyx), and the cold stress and acclimatisation experienced by humans working in the island's wet-cold climate. In addition, Heard Island served as a testing ground for men, equipment, scientific programmes, huskies, general administration, and logistics, without which Mawson station could not have been established as successfully as it was in 1954. The American wintering expedition and the French summer expedition contributed to major international geodetic and geophysical investigations. In sum, the expeditions between 1947 and 1971 added much to our knowledge of Heard Island, and they laid down a solid foundation for the work of later expeditions.

Abstract:

AbstractThe French expedition to Mexico from 1862 to 1867 rarely features in accounts of the origins of the Franco-Prussian War or of the liberalization of the French Second Empire in its final years. By contrast, this article uses a range of archival and published sources to argue that the failure of the Mexican expedition was an important factor in the crisis that convulsed French politics in the late 1860s. The legitimacy of the fiscal-military system was undermined, partly because of the burdens that the expedition imposed on the French people. There resulted difficulties over finance and the army, which hindered the Second Empire's ability to confront the Prussian threat and accelerated the emergence of the ‘Liberal Empire’ with the constitutional reforms of 1867–70. Liberalization, though, could not rescue the imperial regime, and the legitimacy crisis of the Second Empire was only resolved by a transition to a parliamentary democracy under the Third Republic.

Abstract:

The fasciolariid fauna from two expeditions to French Guiana is examined and augmented with published records and material of other collections from the Guianas and northeastern Brazil. Twelve species of Fasciolaria and Aurantilaria (Fasciolariinae), Aristofusus, Lyonsifusus and Fusinus s.l. (Fusininae), and Lamellilatirus and Polygona (Peristerniinae) are reported and discussed. Nine species are represented in expedition collections, and reports of three other species are evaluated. Two morphologically distinct species of Lamellilatirus are described as new; type localities of both are off French Guiana, 114–118 m. Ten Guianan fasciolariids range variously northward to Caribbean South America and the Lesser Antilles and southward to Ceará, Brazil; one other extends into the northern Caribbean, and one extends southward to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Abstract:

Philhellenism existed in European society long before to the Morea expedition, the latter only exacerbated this tendency. The expedition helped to transform the superficial interest into a scientific interest, since its materials formed a scientific and aesthetic luggage, which remained one of the best for many years for European scientists who were unable to visit the region in person. The ancient Greek ruins aroused the admiration and awe of Europeans who saw in them a largely romanticized past. Officers, soldiers and people of art became the first group to form a collective memory of the past. For them, these events were emotionally colored. When they return home, scientists, artists, and even officers will become carriers and translators of this collective memory in French society. This group was the bearer of information about the monuments and treasures of the ancient Greeks, the key events, the most important details of Greek antiquity – the cradle of European civilization and its values. The scientific Morea expedition was important for the expansion of knowledge about Greece as a country and its ancient heritage. In architecture, sculpture, painting, furniture, and decorative art, ancient Greek motives were actively used – usually in a much romanticized and ornate form. After the expedition, European museums and numerous collectors began to show increased interest in Greek culture. The downside of this interest was the active plundering of the country’s cultural heritage. Another result of the expedition was that science began to be regarded as “politics of the XIX century”.

Abstract:

England's decision to opt for the reformed religion had major repercussions in her foreign relations. Continental and Scottish protestants now looked to their royal co-religionist for protection. An intervention in Scotland on behalf of the reformers was triumphantly successful. When the French protestants took arms in 1562 they turned to Elizabeth for aid. Cecil was hesitant; Robert Dudley, however, backed by Throckmorton, urged armed intervention. The queen agreed but drove a hard bargain. The Huguenots were to hand over Newhaven (Le Havre) to be held by the English until Calais was returned. She in turn loaned money to hire mercenaries. From the beginning the alliance faltered. Elizabeth refused succour to the Huguenots besieged in Rouen. Condé and Coligny opened negotiations with Catherine de Medici, in which English interests were disregarded. In due course the assassination of the duke of Guise, the catholic champion, opened the way for a settlement. The reunited French parties joined in an assault on Newhaven; a humiliating surrender followed. The ill success of this venture was decisive in shaping the future course of English relations with their continental co-religionists. At home it marked the emergence of Robert Dudley as a major player in high politics.

Abstract:

In the 16th century the factors of confessional propaganda and “public opinion” become very important for public power. Each princedom, defining the principles of imperial and "foreign" policy, was guided by the confessional motivation of the prince and all structures of territorial power (courts institutions, Landtags, city councils), as well as that part of society that had a consolidated opinion in religious affairs (universities, Landeskirchen). Johann Casimir (1543—1592), the son of the Elector Palatinate Friedrich III and regent for his nephew Friedrich IV, began to form the pro-calvinist confessional-political course of the Palatinate. He organized and led the several expeditions to help the French and Dutch Calvinists. The accession to the throne of the Lutheran Ludwig VI made it impossible for Johann Casimir to use the resources of the Palatinate. However, he organized informational support for his actions in defense of Protestantism. Johann Casimir prepared for publication “Confessio Fidei” of Friedrich III (1577, in German, Latin and French), and three “open letters”: about the military actions of Protestants in France (1576, in German and French), about the reasons for the military expedition to the Netherlands (1578, in German, Latin and Dutch), about the reasons for the military expedition in support of the Elector of Cologne (1583—1584, in German and French). Was only religious propaganda the aim of the prince? Or was Johann Casimir guided not the least by political motives and ambitions? Historiography focused on attempts of the Palatinate electors to unite German Protestants at the turn of the 16th — 17th centuries (Friedrich IV and Friedrich V), however, we can assume that the “plan of action” appeared already in Johann Casimir. His interventions were not successful, but allowed the Palatinate to claim leadership among the German Protestants.

Abstract:

The British entered the War of the First Coalition against Revolutionary France in 1793 diplomatically isolated and militarily unprepared for a major war. Nonetheless, a French attack on the Dutch Republic in February 1793 forced the British to dispatch a small expeditionary force to defend their ally. Throughout the Flanders campaign of 1793, the British expeditionary force served London as a tool to end British isolation and enlist Austrian commitment to securing British war objectives. The 1793 Flanders campaign and the Allied war effort in general have received little attention from historians, and they generally receive dismissive condemnation in general histories of the French Revolutionary Wars. This thesis examines the British participation in the 1793 Flanders campaign a broader diplomatic context through the published correspondence of relevant Allied military and political leaders. Traditional accounts of this campaign present a narrative of defeat and condemn the Allies for their failure to achieve in 1793 the accomplishments of the sixth coalition twenty years later. Such a perspective obscures a clear understanding of the reasons for Allied actions. This thesis seeks to correct this distortion by critically analyzing the relationship between British diplomacy within the Coalition and operations in Flanders. Unable to achieve victory on their own strength, the British used their expeditionary force in Flanders as diplomatic leverage to impose their objectives on the other powers at war with France.

Abstract:

In 1995 Texas Historical Commission (THC) staff and a team of researchers discovered a shipwreck in the mud of Matagorda Bay. Preliminary artifact recovery included a decorated bronze cannon that identified the wreck as la Belle, the fourth and final vessel of the ill-fated venture to found a colony on the Texas coast by French explorer Robert Cavalier Sieur de La Salle. A full excavation of the site was conducted in the following years. Among the items recovered was an intact chest (Artifact No. 11500) which at the time became known as the Belle Mystery Chest. Initial inspection revealed that the chest was most likely a repository for various tools, but further work revealed a sundry collection of artifacts. Subsequent artifact analysis determined the tools to be instruments used in a variety of occupations ranging from that of French wine coopering to those of agricultural, military, and maritime endeavors. Historical research primarily using the firsthand reports from the expedition??s survivors suggest the chest was first boarded in France on one of La Salle??s other ship??s, l??Aimable, unloaded prior to that vessel??s wrecking at the mouth of Matagorda Bay, taken to the new settlement by way of la Belle, and eventually returned to the ship just prior to its sinking. Records verify that La Salle often claimed the possessions of the dead and that he ordered the ship reloaded with his personal goods and other supplies before it sank. Along with two artifacts with differing ownership initials and the sheer diversity of the chest??s contents, these clues suggest that the chest may have been a repository for various utilitarian items collected by La Salle before the loss of la Belle in January of 1686.

Abstract:

Expedito Vianna was an extremely active and influential flutist and teacher in Belo Horizonte, MG (Brazil) and Salvador, BA (Brazil) from the 1960's to the 1980's. Through pioneer research, he proposed methodologies for the study of the flute, that were before their time in Brazil. Some of his techniques, such as the use of phonemas, rhythmic dislocation, and transposition, once considered innovative, still serve as important tools for his former students in their professional lives today. Expedito Vianna was not only ahead of the Brazilian flutists of his generation, but his ideas were so ahead of his time that even today they remain current. Many flutists and teachers around the worfd today utilize similar techniques and pedagogic practices. Four of Vianna's main pedagogic techniques will be discussed in this study: altering sound quality through the use of vowels, solving difficult excerpts from the flute repertoire by re-grouping notes, the application of Marcel Moyse's sonority exercises for difficult flute passages, and tonal studies based on transposing melodies. Vianna's work will be compared with that of other present-day flutists and authors to show its validity within the broader spectrum of modem flute teaching. Vianna never concerned himself with seeking musical acclaim or stardom in the flute world. His ideas spread simply because they constitute effective educational tools. Several of his former students occupy important professional positions throughout Brazil today, which is the greatest proof of the effectiveness of his ideas.
Expedito Vianna foi um flautista e professor com expressiva atuação em Belo Horizonte MG e Salvador BA entre as décadas de 60 a 80 do século passado. Através de um trabalho de pesquisa pioneiro no Brasil, propôs metodologias, até então, inéditas para o estudo da flauta transversal. Técnicas de utilização de fonemas, deslocamento rítmico e transposição não somente foram inéditas no Brasil em seu tempo, como também continuam a fornecer ainda hoje importantes ferramentas para seus ex-alunos em atividade profissional. Expedito Vianna esteve à frente de seu tempo e de seus colegas brasileiros de sua geração. Suas idéias continuam atuais. Ainda hoje diversos flautistas e professores ao redor do mundo vêm utilizando práticas pedagógicas e técnicas semelhantes. Abordamos as quatro principais propostas pedagógicas de Expedito Vianna: a alteração no timbre através da utilização das vogais, a aplicação dos estudos de sonoridade de Marcel Moyse no estudo de trechos difíceis do repertório, a solução de problemas técnicos através do reagrupamento de notas e o estudo de tonalidades baseado na transposição de melodias simples. Confrontamos o trabalho de Vianna com o de outros autores e flautistas da atualidade para comprovar sua validade e inserção no panorama atual do ensino da flauta. Vianna nunca se preocupou em ser aclamado como uma estrela no mundo dos flautistas. Suas idéias se disseminaram porque constituem instrumentos didáticos eficazes. Vários de seus ex-alunos hoje ocupam importantes posições profissionais em várias partes do Brasil. Esta é, sem dúvida, a maior prova da eficácia de suas idéias.

Abstract:

En 1823, l’intervention militaire de la France, agissant au nom de la Sainte-Alliance, met fin au régime constitutionnel et rétablit sur le trône Ferdinand VII. Cette nouvelle Guerre d’Espagne n’est pas sans susciter de fortes inquiétudes même chez ses plus fervents partisans : dix ans seulement après la désastreuse aventure napoléonienne dans la Péninsule, comment ces Espagnols qui s’étaient levés d’un commun accord contre l’Empereur réagiront-ils ? La haine des Français les poussera-t-elle à prendre de nouveau les armes et à mener cette terrible guérilla ayant fait tant de ravages dans les rangs français ? Pendant que le duc d’Angoulême progressera en Espagne, les journaux royalistes ne tariront pas d’éloges sur ces Français venus libérer leur roi et, leur attribuant toutes les qualités militaires et morales, chantent à l’envi l’entente plus que cordiale qui s’instaure immédiatement entre les sujets de Ferdinand VII et les soldats de Louis XVIII. Au-delà du discours reflété dans les déclarations officielles et la presse, où se situe la réalité ? Les Français exécrés lors du conflit antérieur ont-ils été véritablement accueillis en héros par les Espagnols? Les réactions de la Régence aux dispositions promulguées à Andujar par le duc d’Angoulême laissent deviner que l’entente entre les partisans de Ferdinand VII et le haut commandement français n’a sans doute pas été aussi cordiale qu’on a bien voulu le proclamer. Quant à la fraternisation des Espagnols avec les troupes françaises, a-t-elle été aussi effective qu’on l’a laissé entendre? C’est à toutes ces questions, parfois soulevées, mais jamais véritablement traitées par les historiens que cette thèse prétend répondre
In 1823, the military intervention of France, acting in the name of the Holy Alliance, put an end to the constitutional regime and re-established Ferdinand VII on the throne. From the outset, this new Spanish War was not without its strongest supporters : only ten years after Napoleon's disastrous adventure in the Peninsula, how would the Spaniards, who had risen up in unison against the Emperor, react? Would their Anti-French sentiment drive them to take up arms again and wage the terrible guerrilla warfare that had wreaked such havoc on the French ranks? While the Duke of Angouleme was making progress in Spain, the royalist newspapers were full of praise for these Frenchmen who had come to liberate their king and, attributing all the military and moral qualities to them, sang a more than cordial understanding that was immediately established between the subjects of Ferdinand VII and the soldiers of Louis XVIII. Beyond the rhetoric reflected in official statements and the press, what was the reality? Were the French, who had been hated in the previous conflict, really welcomed as heroes by the Spaniards? The reaction from the Regency to the provisions promulgated at Andujar by the Duke of Angouleme, suggests that the understanding between the supporters of Ferdinand VII and the French high command was probably not as cordial as it was made out to be. As for the fraternisation of the Spaniards with the French troops, was it as effective as it has been suggested? It is to all these questions, sometimes raised but never really treated by historians, that this thesis aims to answer

Full text

Abstract:

In the ambitious plan of King Louis XIV, France should have become culturally dominant in Europe. The First Minister of State Jean Baptiste Colbert suggested him to finance not only military campaigns but also scientific expeditions aimed to determine, with the highest possible accuracy, the extension of the colonial possessions, to show that France was the largest European power. The astronomers of the Académie des Sciences (founded in 1666), being also geographers and cartographers, were the “leading actors” of those dangerous expeditions, as measuring the terrestrial coordinates (latitude and longitude) strongly required their skills: the desire for glory of the Roi Soleil had unexpectedly turned out into an improvement of astronomy. All the expeditions were supervised by the Italian astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini (1625-1712) who had been warmly welcomed at the court of the Sun King, in 1669, and was living in the Observatoire Royal in Paris. Cassini instructed the scientists who were chosen for the expeditions, checked their instruments and compiled a list of instructions concerning the observations they should have carried out. Among the several expeditions organized by Cassini, the one to Cayenne (French Guiana) deserves particular attention as thanks to some observations carried out there (and simultaneously in Paris) Cassini obtained the first accurate measurement of the Earth-Sun distance. Through a careful check and inspection of all the available original documents kept in the Archives in Paris, the history of the observations which were carried out in Cayenne, has been reconstructed and is presented in this work. Moreover, some almost unknown details concerning Cassini’s life and work are also shown. The ambitious aim of this work is to make the reader go back in the past to perceive the atmosphere of an epoch in which, thanks also to the overseas expeditions, began to bloom what it was going to become the Age of Enlightenment.

Abstract:

While we can easily acknowledge that many aspects the texts written by Chrétien de Troyes have been studied and discussed through the centuries, it is always possible to apply a new reading to the author's work. Like many authors of the same time period, the author of Le Conte du graal and LeChevalier de la charrette was not only writing for the audience of his time but was also openly targeting an audience set in a different century and social context. This timeless aspect of Chrétien's work is part of what makes his texts intricate and still relevant to this day. It also allows us to understand the impact they had by the time they were written as well as the long lasting interest that has been keeping them current throughout eight centuries. While the courteous aspect of these texts seems to be mostly relevant to the audience of a certain time period it is possible for us to conduct a psychoanalytical reading of Chrétien's work in order to appreciate the long- lasting qualities of these tales almost eight hundred years later. By using the drive theory established by Freud along with the work of Lacan based on search for the I, studies which were both established during the twentieth century, we will analyze the untold motivations of the quest and define the relationship between the knight and his physical and inner journey. In this study we will consistently question these motivations. In order to understand them we will first discuss the implications of the quest in a set medieval context which will then lead us to look at this behavior outside of this timeframe in order to focus on the psychological elements of these texts.

Avec l’entrée en république de la France à l’été 1792, soudainement le potentiel révolutionnaire initié par le bouleversement de 1789 se déploie pour l’Irlande. Dans un contexte d’agitation populaire menée par les Irlandais Unis et les Defenders en Irlande, les exilés irlandais à Paris entrent, eux aussi, en république, d’abord à l’échelle micro-locale lors de la « République au Collège », prise de contrôle éphémère par les étudiants du Collège irlandais de Paris, puis à travers le « festin patriotique », un rassemblement festif de toute la galaxie révolutionnaire atlantique, et particulièrement des « citoyens » des Trois Royaumes. Ces deux événements initient un processus d’engagement personnel de chacun des protagonistes et une dynamique révolutionnaire transnationale à travers le projet d’avènement de la « République des États-Unis d’Irlande et de France », elle-même inscrite dans la perspective plus large de la « République atlantique ». Cet engagement et cette dynamique se déploient d’abord dans le cadre des activités à la fois publiques et couvertes de la société des Anglais, Ecossais et Irlandais de Paris ou Société des Amis des Droits de l’Homme (SADH). Elles contribuent, par le rapprochement entre la France et la SADH, à déclencher la guerre entre l’Angleterre et la France. La dialectique entre dynamique républicaine et contre-républicaine dans le cadre des French Wars conduit les protagonistes de la Républiques des États-Unis de France et d’Irlande à poursuivre et approfondir leur projet, dans une remarquable continuité entre 1792 et 1798. Tout en reconfigurant ses modalités, en variant les répertoires de l’action révolutionnaire en fonction des évolutions du contexte politique et géopolitique, ce projet républicain transnational atteint son apogée avec les expéditions franco-irlandaises de 1796 et 1798. En suivant les parcours de vingt-huit Irlandais patriotes et républicains, en reconstituant leurs réseaux de sociabilité et de circulations, il s’agit d’interroger les raisons et les modalités de l’engagement, dans une perspective d’histoire sociale des idées politiques, c’est-à-dire en étudiant le passage des mots à la pratique, en fonction des circonstances et du cadre social. Dans la dialectique entre Révolution et Contre-Révolution, cet engagement aboutit à un processus de « radicalisation ». Ce faisant, cette thèse interroge l’historiographie existante sur la décennie 1790 en Irlande en cherchant à la replacer dans un contexte de synergies révolutionnaires et en explorant le concept de République atlantique, proposant un regard neuf sur le processus de politisation populaire en Irlande
With the advent of the republic in France in the summer of 1792, the revolutionary potential initiated by the upheaval of 1789 suddenly exploded in Ireland. In a context of rising popular discontent led by the United Irishmen and the Defenders in Ireland, the Irish exiles in Paris also embraced the republic, first at the micro-local scale of the Irish College in Paris of which the students took control in a fleeting but highly significant moment, the ‘République au Collège’, then at the ‘festin patriotique’, a gathering of all the Atlantic revolutionary galaxy, but most notably of the ‘citizens’ of the Three Kingdoms. These two events initiated a process of personal engagement for each of the protagonists and a transnational revolutionary dynamic through the project of establishing the ‘Republic of the United States of France and Ireland’. This commitment and this dynamic were extant throughout the activities, both public and covert, of the Society of the English, Scottish and Irish at Paris or Société des Amis des Droits de l’Homme (SADH). They contributed, because of the collaboration between France and the SADH, to spark the war between England and France. The dialectic between the republican and counter-republican dynamics in the context of the French Wars led the protagonists of the Republic of the United States of France and Ireland to pursue and further define their project in an astonishing continuity between 1792 and 1798. While this republic project varied in its forms and modalities due to the changing political and geopolitical context, it reached its apex with the Franco-Irish expeditions of 1796 and 1798. Following the paths of twenty eight Irish republican patriots, and examining their networks of sociability and circulations, enable to question the motivations and forms of political engagement, in the perspective of a social history of political ideas, i.e. by studying the transition from words to acts, which depends on the circumstances and on the social environment. In the dialectic between Counter-Revolution and Revolution, this engagement leads to a process of ‘radicalisation’. By doing so, this dissertation aims at questioning the prevailing historiography of the 1790s in Ireland, by replacing it in its context of revolutionary synergies and by exploring the concept of the Atlantic Republic, thereby offering a new take on the process of popular politicisation in Ireland

Abstract:

The Arctic Coring Expedition or ACEX was conducted as a special project under the Integrated Ocean Drilling Project. A review of the operational and ice management aspects of this project is provided in Keinonen et al (2006). This current paper reviews the ice observations and forecasting in more detail. Six scientists and naval architects were on board the IB Oden and Sovetskiy Soyuz to collect relevant ice data and forecast ice movement. The work involved the collection of ice data during transit and ice management, interpreting satellite imagery, ice forecasting, and providing the information to the vessels. The purpose of the project was to obtain a core from the seafloor to bed rock (420 m) on the Lomonosov Ridge, to study the paleo history of the polar cap region. This was achieved. The optimum transit route was determined using the Fengyun and Envisat satellite data which were showed the region of most leads. Once at the drill site at 88º north, Radarsat satellite data were used to identify regions of lighter ice. Ice thickness was generally 2.5 to 3.5 m, with mainly second year and old ice. Ice forecasting, using a very simple model, allowed the identification of any heavy ice expected to pass over the site and the regions where more information on ice severity was required. During the first two weeks at the drill site, the inertial oscillations of the ice were very small and not noticeable. Later the oscillations became much larger and the ice went through several complete loops, which created a minor problem for the drilling operation. Ice drift was measured by means of GPS buoys placed onto the ice and recovered by helicopter. This method worked well as the ice moved very slowly so that the buoys were within range for 2 to 3 days. A recent publication indicates that tropical conditions existed at the pole about 55 million years ago. Preliminary. Results indicated that the Polar Cap region was a shallow fresh water sea until about 15 million years ago. At that time, the region between Greenland and Norway opened, allowing the water from the Atlantic Ocean to flow north, with the result that the upper 15 million years of sediments are saline.
