Jacobsen-McGill University Arctic Research Expedition to Axel Heiberg Island, N.W.T.
Reviews this expedition to study the evolution of the mountainous and strongly glacierized and glaciated area of the central part of western Axel Heiberg Island. It was initiated by G. Jacobsen, had a four-man reconnaissance survey in 1959, a 27-man operation in May-Aug. 1960, an 18-man party to spe...
