u THE OCEANOGRAPHY OF THE SEA OF GREENLAND.^ (With 2 plates.) (A resume of the observations made during the expedition of the Belffica, in 1905.) By D. Damas. In 1905 the Due dOrleans undertook what has proved to be afortunate cruise to Spitzbergen and northeast Greenhmd upon theBelgica, commanded by M, A. de Gerlache. The oceanographicobservations made during the cruise by the commandant and M. Koe-foed, working in connection with the Norwegian Bureau of Fish-eries, form a valuable contribution to our still very imperfect knowl-edge of the ocean comprised between these two great polar lands. The region exj^lored by the Belgica in 1905 constitutes a specialbasin and merits the name Sea of Greenland, wdiich has recentlybeen given to it. It is situated between Spitzbergen and BearIsland on the east and Greenland on the west. To the south itopens out into the Sea of Norway a little below 70° north latitude;its meridional limit is therefore the least well defined. The ancientvolcano Jan-
The Nimrod Expedition was a British scientific research expedition to Antarctica that took place between 1907 and 1909. The expedition, led by Ernest Shackleton, aimed to reach the South Pole and carry out various scientific studies. The expedition was named after the ship used, the Nimrod, a small wooden schooner. The team consisted of 15 men, including scientists, geologists, meteorologists and other specialists. Despite many challenges and setbacks, the Nimrod expedition made significant achievements. They established a base camp, known as Cape Royds, on Ross Island and conducted various scientific experiments, including studies of local wildlife, geology and meteorology. Shackleton led a small team of three men, including himself, in an attempt to reach the South Pole. Although they came within 97 miles (156 kilometres) of the pole, they were forced to turn back due to harsh weather conditions, lack of supplies and the risk of not being able to return to their base camp. Although the Nimrod Expedition did not achieve their ultimate goal of reaching the South Pole, they made important contributions to Antarctic exploration and scientific knowledge. They discovered the Beardmore Glacier, which became an important route for future expeditions, and collected valuable geological and biological specimens. The expedition also marked Shackleton's leadership and determination, which would later be tested in his more famous Antarctic expedition on the Endurance in 1914-1916. The Nimrod laid the foundations for future expeditions and set the stage for further exploration of Antarctica.
