Talk by Ebbe Munck
In 1947 a Danish expedition under the leadership of Count Eigil Knuth established the northernmost base in the world, at Bronlundsfjord on Latitude 82. For the last three years members of the expedition have lived there, and they are due to return this summer. Ebbe Munck , himself an explorer, assisted in the establishing of this base and has been in close communication with it ever since. In this talk he describes the objects and some of the findings of the expedition.
