Excerpt: ... assented to this transfer, and Mr. Longyear directed the bank in Trondhjem to exchange stock of the par value of 66,000 kroner, in denominations of 500, to the stockholders. Thus ended the active career of the Arctic Coal Company. Mr. Longyear was on the whole much gratified by the outcome. As is the usual case of pioneer enterprises, no money was made by the pioneers, but there was considerable satisfaction in having opened for the use of mankind an entirely new source of fuel-supply and, apparently, at a critical time when such a new supply may be of tremendous consequence to northern Europe. He regarded it as a wonderfully interesting experience. 6. the new company The new Store Company appointed Karl Bay as its general manager. They asked Gilson to return and take charge of the Advent Bay mine; they engaged Saether to act as their representative at TromsjzJ at an increased salary. They sent Henrik Lund to America to investigate coal mining and to purchase machinery. He was not very familiar with the responsibilities put on him, and he applied to the Arctic Coal Company to get advice, which was willingly granted. Shipping The Stock-pile. The Store Company shipped the stock-pile left by the Americans on Spitsbergen and got good prices for it. They sent up a winter crew of miners, but as the War prevented them from procuring additional machinery they had got out by April, i9i7, a little more than i8,000 tons, and expected to ship 40,000 tons during the season. They actually had sold 38,000 tons, i8,000 subject to regulation in case the total fell short. The price averaged i00 kroner per ton f.o.b. Longyear City, and from i50 to i60 c.i.f. in Norway.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from America in Spitsbergen, Vol. 2 of 2: The Romance of an Arctic Coal-Mine, With an Introduction Relating the History and Describing the Land and the Flora and Fauna of Spitsbergen Coal-mining in Spitsbergen, and particularly of the works at Advent Bay, resulted in a report which was eminently satisfactory. The additional machinery recommended by him for making the plant more effective and more economically productive, was ordered during the winter, most of it in England, that country being nearer than the United States or Germany when repairs should be needed. Gibson, the new general manager, sailed from New York on January 8, 1910, stopping in London and Sheffield for ten days to arrange for the shipment of the equipment. While at Sheffield, he received a confidential memorandum in regard to the possibility of the Arctic Coal Company's purchasing the Advent Bay possessions of the Sheffield Company, which cer tified that their mine was actually in a position to turn out two hundred tons of coal of very good quality per day from a seam more than a meter in thickness, with machinery and plant capable of producing a much larger output as the pit was Opened up. There is no trouble with water, gas, or black damp, said the writer; neither are there any engineering difl'iculties, so that if not less than, say, twenty thousand tons of coal per annum are turned out, the cost of production and standing charges are reduced to such a figure as to allow of a profit being made. All the houses are fitted with electric light, and the mine is ventilated by a large electric fan; but there is only one elec tric coal-cutter at work, so that it would be desirable to get.

Download or read book Svalbard written by Roger Norum and published by Bradt Travel Guides. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bradt guide to Svalbard (Spitsbergen), including Franz Josef Land and Jan Mayen, is a unique, standalone guidebook to this evocative Arctic archipelago, a place that is plunged into darkness for four months each year and where there are 4,000 snow scooters for a population of just 2,500. This new sixth edition has been thoroughly updated throughout and offers new material on everything from adventure tours to accommodation, environmental change to restaurants. Also covered are the restoration of Barentsburg and the opening of Svalbard's historic mines to visitors. Newly updated and amended, this edition reflects important recent changes in the archipelago, making it the perfect guide to a quintessential bucket-list destination. Possibly the most remote destination in the developed world, Svalbard is as off the beaten track as you can get in Europe today. A destination where there are more polar bears than people, Svalbard is the planet's most northerly settled land and the top (if not the end) of the world. It was on and around Svalbard that most of David Attenborough' Frozen Planet was filmed. A trip to Svalbard easily lends itself to notching up geographic superlatives (most northerly kebab, most northerly souvenir shop, etc) and adventurous travellers seek out experiences such as husky driving and hikes across the permafrost, charmed by the island law that requires everyone to carry a rifle anywhere outside of Longyearbyen, a constant reminder of Svalbard's 3,000-strong polar bear population. The main tourist period falls in Svalbard's brief summer, from June to August, when it's light around the clock and not very cold. However, increasingly popular for winter sports - especially because the next few years will enjoy unusually high Northern Lights activity - are the so-called 'light winter' months (March-May), when there is both sunlight and snow. The winter season itself (November/December-March) offers many possibilities for outdoor adventure - and the polar night is an experience in itself. Despite winter temperatures that can drop to over 40 below zero, Svalbard's glorious mountains, majestic fjords and sprawling valleys are the perfect setting for adventurous journeys out to the back of beyond, giving visitors a unique vantage point on a unique tourist destination. This brand-new edition of Svalbard provides all of the practical and background information you'll need to explore this wild place, turning the hostile into the hospitable. Bradt's Svalbard is written by Roger Norum, an expert in the region who writes regularly on northern Norway for the press and who teaches Norwegian language and translation at University College London. He is also a Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, where he carries out research on the links between tourism, travel writing and environmental change in the European Arctic.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of the Polar Regions written by Adrian Howkins and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 976 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge History of the Polar Regions is a landmark collection drawing together the history of the Arctic and Antarctica from the earliest times to the present. Structured as a series of thematic chapters, an international team of scholars offer a range of perspectives from environmental history, the history of science and exploration, cultural history, and the more traditional approaches of political, social, economic, and imperial history. The volume considers the centrality of Indigenous experience and the urgent need to build action in the present on a thorough understanding of the past. Using historical research based on methods ranging from archives and print culture to archaeology and oral histories, these essays provide fresh analyses of the discovery of Antarctica, the disappearance of Sir John Franklin, the fate of the Norse colony in Greenland, the origins of the Antarctic Treaty, and much more. This is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of our planet.
