Det er ikke sandsynligt, at Isforholdene skulde lægge
den norske Expedition Hindringer ivejen for Udførelsen af
denne Undersøgelse, og heller ikke for dens Fortsættelse
paa Strøget nordenom Island. Ved at denne Vej følges,
banes en vigtig Overgang til det egentlige Ishavsdyb. som
dernæst maatte blive at gjennemskjære med et Snit fra et
Punkt i nordost for Island til et Punkt paa Norges Kyst
nordenfor Trondhjem. Paa denne sidste Del af Rejsen
ville sandsynligvis alle Ishavsdybets vigtigste Naturforhold
komme tilsyne i .Iagttagelserne.
Med gunstige Vejrforhold vil den ovennævnte Del af
Expeditionen Plan muligens kunne blive, udført i en
saavidt kort Tid. at der efter Tilbagekomsten til Norge endnu
bliver Anledning til videre Undersøgelser. Om disse da
bør rettes paa en Linie tvers over Ishavet mod Jan Mayen
eller paa Overgangen mellem Bankerne foran Nordlands
Kyst og Ishavsdybet. vil bedst den indtil da vundne
Erfaring og Hensyn til den tilbagestaaende Arbejdstid kunne
afgjøre.
Inat the Expedition will meet with impediments from
ice. either in this region or in the tract north of Iceland,
there is little reason to apprehend. This course will lead by
a direct transit-passage to the depths of the Arctic Ocean,
which have then to be traversed from a point north-east
of Iceland to a point on the Norwegian coast north of
Throndhjem. The observations taken on this, the latter
part of the passage, will in all probability disclose the most
important of the conditions distinguishing the depths of
the Arctic Ocean.
Provided the weather be favourable, the Expedition
will possibly get through this part of the Scheme and
return to Norway in time for further operations. Whether,
in that case, it will be best to conduct the investigation
along a line traversing the Polar Sea in the direction of
Jan Mayen, or in -the tract extending between the banks
off the coast of Nordland and the depths of the Arctic
Ocean, must depend on the nature of the experience till
then. acquired, and on the time that may yet remain
available for continuing the cruise.
Bestyreren af det danske meteorologiske Institut, der
har Stationer i Torshavn paa Færøerne, og paa Island i
Berufjord og Papey paa Sydostsiden, i Reykjavik og
Styk-kisholm paa Vestsiden samt i Akureyri og paa Grimsey
paa Nordsiden, har anmodet Bestyreren af det norske
meteorologiske Institut om under Expeditionen at inspicere de
af disse Stationer, hvortil der maatte blive Anledning.
Da de nævnte Stationer ere erkjendte for at være af
fundamental Betydning for hele Europas og ikke mindst for
Norges Meteorologi, vil Expeditionen kunne yde denne
Videnskab. hvis Fremme ligger indenfor dens Arbejders Kreds,
en ganske væsentlig Tjeneste ved at imødekomme det af
det danske Instituts Bestyrer fremsatte Ønske. Stationerne
ligge lige i den Vej. som Expeditionsskibet efter denne
Plan vil komme til at følge og ville afgive de mest
passende Stoppepladse til Indtagelse af Forsyninger, • til
Verification af Kronometrene og de magnetiske Instrumenter,
til Udforelse af Arbejder ombord, der kræve hurtigere
Fremme og vanskelig kunne udførçs i Søen. til
Undersøgelse af Naturforholdene paa Kysten, til Tilflugtssteder
under Vejrforhold, der umuliggjøre Arbejde i Søen m. v.
De Undersøgelser, der ville blive Gjenstand for
Expeditionen Arbejder, ere i det væsentlige følgende:
1. Lodninger til Bestemmelse af Havbundens
Configura-’ tion. Under disse komme Samling af Prøver af
Bundens Materiale samt Here af de Operationer, der

Undersø-geiser.

The Director of the Danish Meteorological Institute,
which has Stations on the Færoe Islands (Thorshavn) and
in Iceland (south-east coast: Berufjord and Papey; west
Coast: Reykjavik and Stykkisholm: north coast: Akureyri
and Grimsey). deems it highly desirable that the Director
of the Norwegian Meteorological Institute should inspect
such of those Stations as the Expedition may furnish
opportunity of visiting. Now. the said Stations are
acknowledged to be of fundamental importance to the meteorology
of Europe. — and not least to that of Norway. — wherefore
the Expedition could very materially promote that science
by acceding to the request preferred by the Director of
the Danish Institute to the Director of the Norwegian.
Moreover, the Stations lie one and all in the route the
Expedition will take pursuant to the Scheme of Work;
they are excellently adapted for stopping-places, at which
to provision the ship, verify the chronometers and the
magnetic instruments, do work on board that does not
admit of delay, or can with difficulty ’be accomplished at sea.
investigate physical and other conditions on the coast. &c. &c.:
and finally, they would serve as. harbours in stress of
weather, when all work at sea was impracticable.
The following is a General Specification of the objects
which the Expedition will seek to carry out: — •
1 To determine by soundings the contour of the
sea-lied. When taking them, samples .of the bottom
will lie simultaneously collected, and divers of the
operations performed necessary to serve as a basis
for the work specified below.
2. To determine the direction and • fate of currents.
The direction and rate of surface-currents will be
