The Arctic Seas Climatology, Oceanography, Geology, and Biology

The Arctic region has long held a fascination for explorers and scientists of many countries. Despite the numerous voyages of exploration, the na­ ture of the central Arctic was unknown only 90 years ago; it was believed to be a shallow sea dotted with islands. During Nansen's historic voyage o...
