Description

Bruxelles, Charles Bulens, 1911. Large 4to (35.0 x 27.1 cm). 99 pp.; ten tissue-guarded photographical plates; two maps. Original printed wrappers. = This is the seldom-seen first part of the results of the Campagne Arctique on the research vessel Belgica. It includes the itinerary with daily oceanographical, meteorological and astronomical observations and contains chapters on Météorologie (Gerlache), Magnétisme Terrestre (Nippoldt) and Électricité Atmospérique (Ludeling) around Novaya Zemlya. The fine photographs show coastal features, in particular of the narrow strait Matochkin, which separates the two main islands. Baron Adrien Victor Joseph de Gerlache de Gomery (1866 -1934), an officer in the Belgian Royal Navy, was organizer and leader of the expedition. Later, he organized a similar expedition to the South pole. Covers partly discoloured and with some light wear - more so on spine ends; some light, mostly marginal foxing, otherwise very good, unmarked.
