Abstract
SURVEYS IN SPITSBERGEN.βIn the Geographical Journal for November Mr. R. A. Frazer gives an account of some work which he did on the edge of New Friesland in company with Mr. N. E. Odell and Dr. T. G. Longstaff in August 1921. The party travelled north-eastward for about 25 miles from the head of Klaas Billen Bay into the highland ice of the interior. Crossing the watershed between the western and eastern drainage areas, they surveyed the salient features in a small area lying between the Mount Svanberg group to the south and the peaks around Mount Chernichev to the north. Weather and travelling conditions were bad, and time was short, but the work which was accomplished fills one of the gaps in the skeleton survey of the Russian Arc of Meridian Expedition of 1898β1902.
