	ABSTRACT: Late Wisconsinan glacial and relative sea level history of Amund and Ellef Ringnes Islands, Nunavut, Canada. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The interior of Amund Ringnes Island was overridden by granite-free Innuitian ice flowing north from a lowland divide spanning the central Queen Elizabeth Islands.
		Although Ellef Ringnes Island experienced widespread Late Wisconsinan glaciation, it remains uncertain whether this was due to Innuitian ice flowing north from this lowland divide, or a local ice cap.
		The continuity of the isobases across Amund and Ellef Ringnes islands is consistent with the glacial geologic evidence that suggests Massey and Hassel sounds were occupied by grounded ice during the last glaciation.

	Ellef Ringnes Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ellef Ringnes Island is one of the Sverdrup Islands in Nunavut, Canada.
		Ellef Ringnes Island was the last landmass to be visited by the Earth's wandering North Magnetic Pole.
		They determined that the average position of the North Magnetic Pole in 1994 was located on the Noice Peninsula, southwest Ellef Ringnes Island, at 78.3° N, 104.0° W. The pole passed away from the island that year and now lies some 250 miles (400 km) to the NNW [1].

		Ringnes Bryggeri ble etablert i 1876 av brødrene Amund og Ellef Ringnes, som kom fra Ringnes Gård i Krødsherad (Hallingdal).
		Ringnes skal være mer kompetent enn konkurrentene, og tilby kundene kunnskap.
		Da Amund og Ellef etter en del år tjente nok penger på bryggeridriften i Oslo, kunne de kjøpe den tilbake og i dag er gården er renovert og oppgradert til et konferansesenter med topp moderne standard for overnatting, kurs og forpleining.

	Magnetic Pole - MSN Encarta
		The magnetic poles are located at considerable distances from the geographical poles, at the northern and southern ends of the magnetic field, at the polar areas of the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere.
		The north magnetic pole is currently situated (1997) to the west of Ellef Ringnes Island in the Queen Elizabeth Islands of northern Canada, about 1,300 km (800 mi) from the North Pole.
		The south magnetic pole is currently situated in the Southern Ocean near the Adélie Coast of Antarctica, about 2,600 km (1,600 mi) from the South Pole.

	Amund Ringnes Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amund Ringnes Island is one of the Sverdrup Islands in Nunavut between 78 and 79 degrees of latitude.
		It lies east of Ellef Ringnes Island and west of Axel Heiberg Island.
		The island was named by Otto Sverdrup for Oslo brewer Amund Ringnes, one of the sponsors of his expedition.

		Postglacial emergence of Amund and Ellef Ringnes islands, Nunavut: implications for the northwest sector of the Innuitian Ice Sheet
		These suggest the Ringnes Islands occupied the northwest radius of the Innuitian uplift, which is congruent with glacial geological evidence suggesting parts of the Ringnes Islands were covered by the Late Wisconsinan Innuitian Ice Sheet.
		The absence of an isobase embayment across the Ringnes Islands suggests a relatively uniform ice load across both islands and Hassel and Massey sounds.

	U.S. Air Force AIM Points: Military to stage Arctic air crash exercise as polar overflights increase (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The military plans to stage its exercise out of an abandoned weather station on the Isachsen Peninsula on Ellef Ringnes Island, about 2,800 kilometres north of Edmonton and only 150 kilometres away from the magnetic North Pole.
		But the notoriously foul weather on Ellef Ringnes, which scores 99 out of 100 on Environment Canada's climate severity index, has already downgraded those plans.
		But the storm lifted, and about 30 personnel were stationed on Ellef Ringes on Wednesday, camping in trailers left by an environmental team working on the old weather station.

		Canadian Rangers patrol two islands near Isachsen, an abandoned weather station found on Ellef Ringnes Island, during sovereignty operations in early April that were curtailed by blizzards and -40C weather.
		Overconfidence, inadequate training and out-dated equipment all contributed to difficulties experienced by the Canadian military during recent exercises in the High Arctic, according to an internal report.
		The exercises took place in early April at Isachsen, an abandoned weather station found on Ellef Ringnes Island, 150 km above the magnetic north pole.

		Because the core is always in flux and because the solar wind affects magnetic forces, earth's magnetic poles shift constantly, even from day to day.
		In 1994 the magnetic north pole was located near Ellef Ringnes Island in the Canadian Arctic, around 1,400 km from the geographic pole; it moves toward the northwest by approximately 15 km per year.
		Similarly, over the past century the southern magnetic pole has moved from the Antarctic continent out to sea.

		At Banks Island, AM fungi were present and colonized at a high intensity in all specimens of Potentilla hookeriana Lehm.
