Photography in the Arctic Archipelago during the First International Polar Year, 1882–1883
August 1, 1882, marked the start of the First International Polar Year, IPY-1, when natural science researchers conducted observations from stations positioned across the Arctic and Antarctic. IPY-1 took place as photography increasingly played a part in Arctic exploration, and with the polar year c...

August 1, 1882, marked the start of the First International Polar Year, IPY-1, when natural science researchers conducted observations from stations positioned across the Arctic and Antarctic. IPY-1 took place as photography increasingly played a part in Arctic exploration, and with the polar year came an opportunity to further photographic experimentation and the emerging photographic documentation of Arctic lands. Here, I do a first review of the use of photography during three IPY-1 expeditions to the Arctic Archipelago, arguing that focused and strategic planning was key to the development of Arctic photography from an almost incidental expedition activity to a ubiquitous pursuit for images. Le 1er août 1882 a marqué le début de la première Année polaire internationale (API1), au cours de laquelle les scientifiques ont effectué des observations depuis des stations situées dans l’Arctique et l’Antarctique. L’API1 a eu lieu alors que la photographie prenait de plus en plus d’importance dans l’exploration de l’Arctique, et cette année polaire a été l’occasion de poursuivre l’expérimentation photographique dans l’Arctique. Cet article examine la photographie au cours de trois expéditions dans l’Arctique pendant l’API1, soutenant qu’au cours de celles-ci, la photographie arctique est passée d’une activité d’expédition presque accessoire à une recherche intentionnelle et continue d’images. |
