Extract

The 600-ton Norwegian sealer Norsel, commanded by Captain Guttorm Jakobsen, made the last of her annual relief trips to Queen Maud Land when she went south last December to bring home the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition from Maudheim. During this trip the writer was attached to the expedition as naval observer. The ship remained at Maudheim for three weeks while an aerial survey was being carried out by the Swedish air unit which she had brought with her; during this time advantage was taken of fine weather and favourable ice conditions to make two survey trips along the barrier, one to the eastward and the other to westward from Norsel Bay where the ship was harboured.
