Polytechnic of Central London Spitsbergen Manhaul Expedition, 1976
View through CrossRef
A seven-man party from the Polytechnic of Central London spent from 25 July to 26 August in north-west Spitsbergen. Field work included botanical survey and sampling, recording of human sleep patterns, and the making of a 16 mm colour film. The party had the support facility of a former Scottish fishing vessel, the Copious, which it shared with the Cambridge Spitsbergen Expedition. The group landed in the far north of Vasahalvøya on Makarovbreen. Overland glacier journeys were made from Makarovbreen south to Liefdef jorden and Bockf jorden, and from the lower end of Woodf jorden across to Kongsf jorden via Blomstrandbreen—roughly 160 km in all.
