	Encyclopedia: Harald Sverdrup
		Harald Ulrik Sverdrup (November 15, 1888 – August 21, 1957) was a Norwegian oceanographer and meteorologist who made a number of important theoretical discoveries in these fields.
		Having first worked in Bergen and Leipzig he was involved in the North Polar expedition of Roald Amundsen between 1917 and 1925, before taking the chair in meteorology at Bergen, where his primary interest slowly became oceanography.
		He was made director of California's Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) in 1936, initially for 3 years but the intervention of World War II meant he held the post until 1948.

	Otto Sverdrup
		During an 1898-1902 Arctic expedition, Norwegian explorer Otto Sverdrup, using Fridtjof Nansen's crush-resistant ship, the Fram, discovered three islands in what is now the Canadian territory of Nunavut.
		Britain's possessions in the far north had been transferred to Canada in 1880, and it was thought that the whole area was "sewn up".
		Having a Norwegian announce the discovery of new lands in Canada's ice-bound north was an embarrassment - Sverdrup was even pushing his own government to send patrols over to police the islands to demonstrate that they were "Norwegian".
