Daly Range
The Daly Range or Daly Mountains ( da, Daly Bjerge) is a mountain range in Peary Land, Northern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park. It forms the eastern end of the northernmost mountain range on Earth.2002 American Alpine Journal, p.286 The area of the range is barren and uninhabited. History The mountain chain was named by Robert Peary after Judge Charles P. Daly, President of the American Geographical Society and member of the executive committee of the Peary Arctic Club in New York. In 1900 Peary saw the range from the coast and was the first to put it on the map. The Daly Range was further surveyed in 1907 by Johan Peter Koch, Aage Bertelsen and Tobias Gabrielsen, the northern team of the ill-fated Denmark expedition, when they reached their northernmost point, Cape Bridgman.

Greenland
Greenland ( kl, Kalaallit Nunaat, ; da, Grønland, ) is an island country in North America that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. It is located between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Greenland is the world's largest island. It is one of three constituent countries that form the Kingdom of Denmark, along with Denmark and the Faroe Islands; the citizens of these countries are all citizens of Denmark and the European Union. Greenland's capital is Nuuk. Though a part of the continent of North America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe (specifically Norway and Denmark, the colonial powers) for more than a millennium, beginning in 986.The Fate of Greenland's Vikings , by Dale Mackenzie Brown, ''Archaeological Institute of America'', ...

Cape Bridgman
Cape Bridgman ( da, Kap Bridgman) is a headland in the Wandel Sea, Arctic Ocean, northeast Greenland. The cape was named by Robert Peary after Herbert L. Bridgman, one of the members of the Peary Arctic Club in New York. Geography Cape Bridgman is located on the northern side of the mouth of Frederick E. Hyde Fjord , Peary Land. Cape John Flagler is the headland on the southern side of the fjord entrance. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park. In 1900 this headland was Robert Peary's easternmost accurate geographic exploration in the north of Greenland, for further south he encountered fog. In 1907 it became an important landmark for the Denmark expedition which mapped for the first time the unknown area to the south and southeast of the cape, as well as part of the Daly Range The Daly Range or Daly Mountains ( da, Daly Bjerge) is a mountain range in Peary Land, Northern Greenland.

Operational Navigation Chart A-5, 3rd Edition
An operational definition specifies concrete, replicable procedures designed to represent a construct. In the words of American psychologist S.S. Stevens (1935), "An operation is the performance which we execute in order to make known a concept." For example, an operational definition of "fear" (the construct) often includes measurable physiologic responses that occur in response to a perceived threat. Thus, "fear" might be operationally defined as specified changes in heart rate, galvanic skin response, pupil dilation, and blood pressure. Overview An operational definition is designed to model or represent a concept or theoretical definition, also known as a construct. Scientists should describe the operations (procedures, actions, or processes) that define the concept with enough specificity such that other investigators can replicate their research. Operational definitions are also used to define system states in terms of a specific, publicly accessible process of preparation ...

Wandel Sea
The Wandel Sea ( da, Wandelhavet; also known as McKinley Sea) is a body of water in the Arctic Ocean, stretching from northeast of Greenland to Svalbard. It is obstructed by ice most of the year. This sea is named after Danish polar explorer and hydrographer, Vice Admiral Carl Frederick Wandel, who in the years 1895–96 explored the coastal waters of Greenland as part of the Danish Ingolf Expedition. Geography This arctic sea is located at 82° north longitude and 21° west latitude. Seas farther north and northwest of the Wandel Sea were once frozen year-round but now may have open water in late summer, as of August 2018.ftp://ftp-projects.cen.uni-hamburg.de/seaice/AMSR2/3.125km/ The Wandel Sea stretches westward as far as Cape Morris Jesup.

Bliss Bay
Bliss Bay ( da, Bliss Bugt) is a bay in the Wandel Sea, Northern Greenland. The area of the bay is uninhabited. Administratively Bliss Bay and its surroundings belong to the Northeast Greenland National Park. Bliss Bay is clogged by fast ice year round. Formerly there was an automatic weather station in the bay. The bay was named by Robert Peary after E. W. Bliss, one of the founding members of the Peary Arctic Club in New York. Geography Bliss Bay lies in the northeastern shore of Johannes V. Jensen Land, NE Peary Land, about WNW of Cape Bridgman and east of Constable Bay. It is a fairly large bay, located between Cape James Hill to the west and Cape J.P. Koch in the east. A river, Lokes Elv, discharges into the head of the bay.''Prostar Sailing Directions 2005 Greenland and Iceland Enroute,'' p. 130 Kaffeklubben Island lies to the NW off the mouth of Bliss Bay.

Johannes V
Johannes is a Medieval Latin form of the personal name that usually appears as "John" in English language contexts. It is a variant of the Greek and Classical Latin variants (Ιωάννης, ''Ioannes''), itself derived from the Hebrew name '' Yehochanan'', meaning "Yahweh is gracious". The name became popular in Northern Europe, especially in Germany because of Christianity. Common German variants for Johannes are ''Johann'', ''Hannes'', '' Hans'' (diminutized to ''Hänschen'' or ''Hänsel'', as known from "''Hansel and Gretel''", a fairy tale by the Grimm brothers), '' Jens'' (from Danish) and ''Jan'' (from Dutch, and found in many countries). In the Netherlands, Johannes was without interruption the most common masculine birth name until 1989. The English equivalent for Johannes is John.

Ice Cap
In glaciology, an ice cap is a mass of ice that covers less than of land area (usually covering a highland area). Larger ice masses covering more than are termed ice sheets. Description Ice caps are not constrained by topographical features (i.e., they will lie over the top of mountains). By contrast, ice masses of similar size that ''are'' constrained by topographical features are known as ice fields. The ''dome'' of an ice cap is usually centred on the highest point of a massif. Ice flows away from this high point (the ice divide) towards the ice cap's periphery. Ice caps have significant effects on the geomorphology of the area that they occupy. Plastic moulding, gouging and other glacial erosional features become present upon the glacier's retreat. Many lakes, such as the Great Lakes in North America, as well as numerous valleys have been formed by glacial action over hundreds of thousands of years. On Earth, there are about of total ice mass.

Bertelsen Glacier
Bertelsen Glacier ( da, Bertelsen Gletscher) is a glacier in northern Greenland.Google Earth Administratively it belongs to the Northeast Greenland National Park. Between 2006 and 2010 there was an automatic weather station near the glacier. The glacier was mapped with accuracy by Lauge Koch during an aerial survey in May 1938. It had previously not been seen by Robert Peary during his 1902 exploration of the area that put the adjacent Moore Glacier in the map. The glacier was named in honour of Aage Bertelsen, who had taken part in the 1906–1908 Danmark Expedition. Geography The Bertelsen Glacier is one of the main glaciers in eastern Peary Land. It is a valley glacier, a branch of the larger, northwest-flowing Moore Glacier, joining it from the northeast. It is located in the area of the easternmost subranges of the Roosevelt Range, between the H. H. Benedict Range to the southwest and the Daly Range to the northeast.

Moore Glacier
Moore Glacier ( da, Moore Gletscher) is a glacier in northern Greenland. Google Earth Administratively it belongs to the Northeast Greenland National Park. Between 2006 and 2010 there was an automatic weather station in the glacier. The glacier was named by Robert Peary after Mr. Charles Moore, who convinced US President William McKinley to keep supporting Peary's Polar ventures in the face of the United States Department of the Navy opposing further explorations. Geography The Moore Glacier is the largest of the valley glaciers located in the area of the easternmost subranges of the Roosevelt Range. It flows roughly in a northwestern direction from the southeast and stretches between the H. H. Benedict Range to the southwest and the Bertelsen Glacier to the northeast. The Moore Glacier has its terminus at the head of the southeastern shore of Bliss Bay, which is permanently clogged with ice. The Stjernebannertinde, highest peak of the H. H.

Dennis Schmitt
Dennis Schmitt (born May 23, 1946) is a veteran explorer, adventurer and composer. Early life Schmitt grew up in Berkeley, California, the son of mixed German and American parentage. His father was a plumber. Displaying early aptitude with languages, music and mathematics, Schmitt graduated from Berkeley High School in 1963, and went on to study linguistics at UC Berkeley with Noam Chomsky in his late teens. Chomsky recruited Schmitt, aged 19, to travel to Alaska's Brooks Range and attempt to learn the Nunamiut dialect. Career Schmitt lived for four years at an Alaskan Eskimo village named Anaktuvuk Pass before leading expeditions, including the Sierra Club. In 2003, Schmitt discovered one of the candidates of being the northernmost land in the world. Deciding that Greenland should name its own islands, he simply called it "83-42", a name that has remained. Two years later, in 2005, Schmitt discovered a new island formed by the retreat of an ice shelf in East Greenland. Uuna ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
