Dealer Notes

Skrifter Utgivna av Kartografiska Sällskapet i Stockholm N:r 5. De Geer in the present work remarks on the inadequacy of existing maps when the search for Nobile’s Italia expedition began. The large map reproduced here incorporates information on North Spitsbergen, the region in which the search was concentrated; “the first photographic copies [of the map] were handed to the Swedish relief expedition at its start with the airplane Uppland” (p. 4). De Geer was a member of the Swedish Arc Measurement Expeditions of 1899-1902, some of the results from which were the basis for the map.
