Botanical Observations on the Penny Highlands of Baffin Island

En savoir plus sur le livre

The narrative centers on F.H. Schwarzenbach's participation in the 1953 Second Baffin Island Expedition, where he documented his botanical research in a comprehensive report that remained unpublished due to funding issues. In 1975, Doris Löve translated a draft of this report into English, which was later referenced in a 1980 publication. A rediscovered original translation allowed Schwarzenbach to compare it with the 1962 German report, enriching the text with 1953 images. This work fills a gap in literature about Ayuittuq National Park and serves as a historical document on mid-20th-century polar research methodologies.
