Expeditionen antages at afgaa fra Bergen i Midten
af Juni til Tromsø. Forsaavidt Rejsen sker gjennem
Vestfjorden. kunde Lejligheden benyttes til at tage en
Temperaturrække i det dybeste af Vestfjorden udenfor Tranø,
hvor de nye Dybvaudsthermometre kunde prøves. Turen
til Tromsø antages at kræve 4 Døgn, I Tromsø standses
for at tage ombord en Mand. der medfølger Expeditionen
som Kjendtmand for Finmarkens Kyst, Beeren Eiland og
Spidsbergen. Derpaa gaar man ind til Alten, hvor den
meteorologiske Station inspiceres, og Skrabning (Trawl)
udføres i Altenfjorden. Herfra til Hammerfest, hvor
Expeditionen indtager Forsyninger for Øst-Ishavsturen.
Magnetiske Observationer til Bestemmelse af Misvisningen og
Kompassets Deviation foretages i Altenfjord eller ved
Hammerfest.
Fra Hammerfest sejles til Porsangerfjorden, hvor der
loddes, tages Temperaturrækker og skrabes. Herfra, om
Vejret (Taage) ikke er til Hinder, ind i Tanafjorden, hvor
de samme Arbejder udføres. Derfra til Vardø, hvor den
meteorologiske Station inspiceres.
Fra Vardø styres (omkring 27de Juni) først østover,
derpaa nordover til Beeren Eilands Parallel og derpaa
vestover, og Linjen for 0° ved Havbunden bestemmes. Ere
Omstændighederne gunstige, forsøges Landgang paa Beeren
Eiland. Herfra opsejles 2 Tversnit over Banken mellem
Beeren Eiland og Norge for at bestemme dens Afheld mod
Ishavsdybet. og derpaa sejles til Hammerfest, idet et Par
Stationer lægges paa Vejen. Med en Fart af 6 Mil i
Vagten. 16 Loddestationer (15 med Temperaturrække. 13
med Skrabe (Trawl)) vil Turen fra Vardø til Hammerfest
(efter den Tid som Erfaringen fra 1877 har vist at der
medgaar til de forskjellige Arbejder paa forskjelligt Dyb)
tage 11 til 12 Døgn. I Hammerfest gjøres klar til 2den
Tur vestover. Afgangen derfra kan sættes til omkring den
Ilte til 12te Juli.
2den Tur beregnes med 6 Knobs Fart. 18 Stationer
(17 Temperaturrækker, hvoraf mange ganske korte i
Polar-strømmen, 6 Skraber paa Banken. 2 Skraber paa stort
Dyb — Lodning, Skrabe oju Temperaturrække ü 17 Timer)
til 121/2 Døgn. Paa Udrejsen fra Hammerfest undersøges
Temperaturforholdene i Dybet omkring Station 201 fra
1877. hvor der viste sig et paafaldende anomalt Forhold.
ally tlie finest month in the year in those latitudes. Hence,
the run westward and subsequent investigation of the
Greenland Sea north of Jan Mayen, will occupy the second
of the three intervals, or periods, planned in this Scheme
of Work.
By the middle of June the Expedition will, if
possible leave Bergen for Tromsø. Should the route selected
lead through the Vestfjord, a series of temperatures might
be taken in the deepest parts of the fjord, off Tranø, and
the new deep-sea thermometers tested. Four days will
probably be sufficient for the passage north to Tromsø. At this
port the Expedition will take on board a pilot for the coast
of Finmark. Beeren Eiland, and Spitzbergen. The next
place on the route is Alten, where the Meteorological
Station will be inspected, and the fjord dredged and trawled.
From here the Expedition courses on to Hammerfest, at
which port stores will have to be shipped for the exploratory
tour to the Murman Sea. Magnetical observations to
determine the deviation of the compass shall be taken either
at Hammerfest or in the Altenfjord.
From Hammerfest the course runs on to the
Porsangerfjord. where soundings and serial temperatures will be
taken, and the dredge and trawl worked. From this point,
weather permitting (it is frequently foggy hereabouts), the
Expedition will steam on to the Tanafjord, and there
prosecute similar exploratory work. The next place to be
touched at is Vardø, where the Meteorological Station will
be inspected.
From Vardø the Expedition will first stand eastward
(about the 27th of June), then northward for the Beeren
Eiland parallel of latitude, and then westward, determining
by the way the boundary of the glacial bottom-area.
If anyway practicable, the Scientific Staff will land on
Beeren Eiland. From this point the Expedition shall
explore a couple of transverse sections on the bank between
Beeren Eiland and Norway, with the object of determining
its incline towards the depths of the Arctic Ocean, and
then run back to Hammerfest, working at one or two
stations by. the way. Steaming at the rate of 6 miles’ an
hour, and with 16 sounding-stations, at 15 of which serial
temperatures will have to be taken and at 13 dredging and
trawling-work done, the passage back to Hammerfest via
Vardø (judging from last year’s experience as to the time
required for the different investigations at various depths)
can be made in 11 or 12 days. At Hammerfest the
vessel has to be got ready for the second of the cruises
west-vjard, the departure of the Expedition being fixed for about
the 11th or 12th of July.
The speed of the vessel being supposed to average 6
knots, this second cruise will, with 18 stations (17 serial
temperatures many of tjiose in the Polar current
being however quite short — 6 hauls of the dredge on
the bank, and 2 at great depths [sounding, dredging, and
taking temperatures estimated to occupy 17 hours}), take 12
days and a half. < )n the run out from Hammerfest, the
Expedition shall investigate the thermal conditions
prevailing in deep water round Station 201. where, on last
