	Nordaustlandet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nordaustlandet (sometimes translated as North East Land) is the second largest island of Svalbard, with an area of 14,600 km².
		Much of Nordaustlandet lies under large ice caps, Austfonna (Europe's largest glacier), Vestfonna and Sørfonna, the remaining parts of the north being tundra inhabited by reindeer and walruses.
		Austfonna is the third biggest inland glacier in the world (after Antarctica and Greenland), being up to 560 metres thick and 200 km in circumference.

		The concentration of large granitic clasts in the easternmost known tillite outcrops suggests derivation from the east and/or south.
		The clasts studied are not similar to granites known elsewhere on Nordaustlandet.
		The petrology, petrochemistry and ages of the granitoid clasts from the Aldousbreen tillite locality lead to the conclusion they were derived from a source terrane, or terranes, as yet unknown in the west and northern Nordaustlandet.

	Nordaustlandet West - Map and Pictures
		Nordaustlandet has the two larger ice caps of Svalbard, Vestfonna and Austfonna.
		Svartknausflya, on Nordaustlandet is a barren polar desert almost devoid of vegetation.
		Nordaustlandet island, with Kong Karls Land and Kvitoya is a part of the North East Svalbard Nature Reserve.

		On and around the ice at the entrance to the strait, which divides West Spitsbergen from ice-clad Nordaustlandet, there is a good chance of seeing Bearded and Ringed Seals, Polar Bears and Ivory Gulls.
		The basalt pillars, rising hundreds of meters, and the overhanging ice cap with its waterfall are an awe-inspiring sight.
		The bare, sandy hills are a strong contrast to the world’s third largest ice cap, which plunges into the sea not far away.

		The high number of observations from the northeast corner of Nordaustlandet (B7) in the 19th century are from after 1863, the year Svalbard was first circumnavigated.
		From northeastern Nordaustlandet - Kvit"Greek not transcribed"ya (B7, B8) 11 observations of large numbers are known; 6 of these were recorded in this century.
		Four of these are from Kvit"Greek not transcribed"ya (B8), 1 from northeastern Nordaustlandet (B7) and 1 from S"Greek not transcribed"rporten (C6).

	Our Furthest North
		That evening, running before a near gale, we reached Murchison Fjord on Nordaustlandet at the north entrance to Hinlopen where the bleak surroundings, seen through scudding fog and rain as we anchored, brought home our isolation.
		We spent the next week exploring Hinlopen, including finding several uncharted anchorages, south to Barentsøya where we transited Heleysundet with its fearsome reputation for strong currents approaching 10 knots that have sucked sailing ships to their doom: crushed in the ice that crashes back and forth through the channel for most of the year.
		In the end it transpired that we reached our farthest north of this cruise, or probably any other for that matter, at 80 Degrees 35 Minutes North, just south of Parryøya, named after a British explorer who was there on one of the early attempts to reach the North Pole.

		The extent and intensity of Grenvillian versus Caledonian tectono-magmatic activity on Nordaustlandet is under investigation in this project.
		This area may either be part of a Caledonian root zone, with intense Caledonian reworking, migmatization and magmatism, or an external foreland with little reworking of Grenvillian or older migmatitic terranes.
		The geology of Nordaustlandet is also of utmost importance for understanding geophysical and drill hole data from the vast buried basement area of the Barents Sea Shelf (the Barentsia microcontinent) and the Timan-Pechora region of northern Russia (Europrobe´s TIMPEBAR project).

		Of course it is all a matter of luck, especially as we can expect to run into sea ice as we push north and east.
		Ice conditions permitting, our aim is to reach the Hinlopen Strait and Nordaustlandet, the second largest island in the group, covered in part by vast ice sheets.
		Depending on ice conditions, our aim on this voyage is to circumnavigate Spitsbergen clockwise or anti-clockwise, with the emphasis on exploring key locations in the east, where Polar Bears abound.

		Spitsbergen is the largest island of the archipelago with Nordaustlandet, Barentsoya, and Edgeoya being other relatively large islands lying to the east.
		The most important of these is the Billifjorden fault zone which is mapped over about 2/3 the length of the island.
		A summary map of seismicity between 1977 and 1986 shows the three major concentrations of earthquake activity that we found in Svalbard.

		Svalbard is the northernmost tip of Europe and its settlements are the northernmost permanently inhabited spots on the planet.
		The islands cover a total of 62,050km², the largest of which are Spitsbergen, Nordaustlandet and Edgeøya.
		The combined permanent population is less than 3000, nearly all of which is concentrated in the main settlements of Longyearbyen and Barentsburg on Spitsbergen.

		I was dressed in full Arctic regalia, which may have been appropriate attire for my normal task of shuttling guests in and out of the Zodiacs, but was decidedly inappropriate for leading one of our long hikes ashore.
		Of course, it could have been that they were just eager to get away from me after I had led them out into and over perhaps the most rugged stretch of the high arctic we had yet seen on this expedition.
		Nordaustlandet is situated well north on the eastern side of Svalbard and therefore doesn't receive much of the life-giving warmth from the Atlantic jet stream.

		Kinnvika, the site of the old station was well chosen.

	A Geographical-Historical Outline of Svalbard
		The principal islands are Spitsbergen, Nordaustlandet, Barentsøya, Edgeøya, Kong Karls Land, Prins Karls Forland, and Bjørnøya (Bear Island).
		This surge-behavior is characteristic for at least 30% of all glaciers in Svalbard and possibly up to about 60% of all glaciers displays this kind of behavior from time to time, with a recurrent interval of 50-100 years.
		Unfortunately, however, shortly north of Nordaustlandet both ships were stopped by solid sea ice and the expedition had to return to England.

	Late summer, september 1997
		The SE coast of Nordaustlandet is covered by the largest gletscher in Europe, with a gletscher front, looking like a mini Antarctic ice barrier of more than 200 km long.
		Near the large glacier on Nordaustlandet I watched a single immature Sabine’s Gull Xema sabini, but these birds are clearly mostly on migration already: there were many observations in W. and S Norway and w Sweden this week.
		Auks were rare and far between, especially in view of the enormous numbers of little Auks (Dovekies) Alle alle and Brunnich’s Guillemots (Thick-billed Murres) that nest in these areas, and this created the first impression of few birds that I mentioned initially.

		After lunch, go ashore at the “polar-desert” of Svartknausflya on Nordaustlandet Island, an area that gets so little precipitation that hardly any plant life can grow and survive.
		Depending on the ice conditions, sail along the south side of the Nordaustlandet heading even further south towards Kong Karls Land.
		There is a good chance to see flows of pack ice in this area and you might be lucky to see polar bears, ringed seals, bearded seals and even walruses, in addition to the flocks of seabirds always present in the summer.

		Of course, since it was summer it would be light well into August, and it had proven rather handy whilst I was attaching several sticks of dynamite and a timer to the fuel dump at the newly constructed Russian submarine base on the island.

		To one side of us lay the Arctic Ocean, to the other was Nordaustlandet and the rest of Svalbard.

		In one of the thrust-sheets a quartz-monzonite have been dated to 2709 ±28 Ma and show that the basement complex also includes some older rocks.
		The rocks of western Ny Friesland differ greatly from those further to the east in Ny Friesland and on Nordaustlandet, which is dominated by Grenville-age metasediments and granites.
		The pre-Caledonian position of the West Ny Friesland Terrane is suggested to be close to Northeastern Greenland based on the remarkable similarities of the rocks and the ages.
