Description
Summary:This work, published in Swedish in 1881, describes the most famous voyage of the The Finnish geologist and Arctic explorer A. E. Nordenskiøld (1832-1901) who did the first crossing of the North-East Passage. The text includes details of the flora, fauna, people and geology encountered on the journey along with a review of previous exploration in the region.From 1983 until 1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions. At the time it was the most extended data compilation on ferromanganese deposits world wide. Initially published in a proprietary format incompatible with present day standards it was jointly decided by AWI and NOAA to transcribe this legacy data into PANGAEA. This transfer is augmented by a careful checking of the original sources when available and the encoding of ancillary information (sample description, method of analysis...) not present in the NOAA-MMS database. ...
