Abstract
THE account of the Danish North-east Greenland Expedition, given by Lieut. A. Trolle before the Royal Geographical Society on December 7, 1908, is printed in the January number of the society's journal, with several instructive illustrations and a map. During this expedition, which lasted two years, the little-known fjords and coast of north-east Greenland were explored, and much other valuable scientific work was accomplished, though the tragic death of the leader, Mylius Erichsen, and his two companions, Hagen and Brönlund, while on a sledge expedition, gives melancholy interest to it. In his lecture Lieut. Trolle only referred in general terms to the results of the scientific work carried on by the various observers during the expedition, as these will be published later, but the subjoined extracts from the paper, and the two illustrations here reproduced by permission of the Royal Geographical Society, will show that the expedition was marked by notable achievements.
