North America, Greenland, Staunings Alps, East Greenland

Publication Year: 1971.

Staunings Alps, East Greenland. Our expedition of ten men operated in the Roslin Glacier area from July to September. Projects included the determination of valley-glacier depths, mapping by plane table and theodolite, oxygen-isotope analysis of ice samples, temperature-depth profiles, glacier flow rates, ablation measurements and meteorology. Full details will be published shortly. Time did not permit many peaks to be climbed but Hird, Dalmore Junior and Junction Peak were ascended. The exact location and computed heights of these will be given in subsequent publications.
