	Expeditions
		Yet when we first came to the mountain world of Queen Maud Land, I felt that we still had a remnant of reverence and awe.
		We were the first human beings there on a journey of exploration in a mythic and enigmatic land.
		In Queen Maud Land, which is just about as far away as you can get, it is easy to think about incomprehensible things, the land still belongs to the realm of dreams.

		Queen Maud Land (Norwegian: Dronning Maud Land) is the part of Antarctica lying between the terminus of Stancombius-Willson Glacier, at 20°W and Shinnan Glacier, at 44°38'E in the area claimed by Norway on January 14, 1938 as a dependent territory.
		The area originally identified by Amundsen as Queen Maud Land lay between 37° and 50° E. In 1985, Norway established the Tor research station at Svarthammaren on Queen Maud Land's Princess Martha Coast; and in 2005, Queen Sonja of Norway opened another research station named Troll at Jutulsessen.
		Dronning Maud Land, identified as the area lying from 45° to 20°E, is formally claimed by Norway.

	Possible Physical Evidence of Atlantis
		The strange thing was that the coast of Queen Maud Land had been covered with a thick sheet of ice for many centuries and its shape was only known now to modern mapmakers through the use of modern seismographic equipment.
		The critics point out that the land mass shown on the map may have a similar coastline to that of Queen Maud Land, but the similarity is not unmistakable.
		Though this might not explain the coastline of Queen Maud Land on the Piri map, it might be the reason that there was such a strong belief in the existence of a southern continent.

		The right part of this ERS-1 SAR image, gathered on 16-1-1992, shows peaks of the Heimefront Range in Queen Maud Land of Antarctica, about 300 km inland from the coast of the Weddell Sea.
		The escarpment of the Heimefront Range separates the plateau of the Amundsen Ice, situated south of the mountains, from the ice stream Veststraumen which moves from the upper right to the lower left part of the image.
		Rough, partly wind eroded ice surfaces below the cliffs, covered with blocks of ice avalanches and crevasses, appear as zones of remarkably bright radar return.

	DRONNING MAUD LAND
		Dronning Maud Land (20°W - 45°E) whose name was given for Queen Maud of Norway when the Norwegian Captain Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen discovered it in 1930, is without doubt one of the Jewels in the Crown of the Antarctic "Far Side".
		No less awe-inspiring is Dronning Maud Land's more than 3000 km -long coastline, where the striking unbroken white wall of the "barrier" presented by the seaward edge of immensely-thick, floating ice-shelves, mark the birthplace of enormous tabular icebergs.
		The Schirmacher Oasis (70°46'S; 011°50'E) of central Dronning Maud Land is an Antarctic desert oasis comprising a low lying ~ 50 km² area of undulating ice-free hills interspersed with a number of glacial lakes.

	Strategy for Norwegian Research in Antarctica
		Bottom water formation in the Weddell Sea is closely related to the general patterns of water circulation in the oceans and ocean water's interaction with glacial ice and the atmosphere.
		Recognising Norway's commitment to focusing on Queen Maud Land, the Research Council of Norway recommends that Norwegian research in the southern part of the Weddell Sea be continued through Norwegian participation in the expeditions of other countries.
		The continued investigation into cultural history and the establishment of effective regulations for the protection and management of Norway's cultural heritage in the Antarctic and the sub-Antarctic islands should, therefore, be based on international cooperation, and on support for Norwegian participation in the expeditions of other countries.

		The ice-free coast of Queen Maud Land shown in the map is a colossal puzzle because the geological evidence confirms that the very latest date that it could have been surveyed and charted in an ice-free condition is 4000 BCE.
		It is not possible to pinpoint the earliest date that such a task could have been accomplished, but it seems that the Queen Maud Land littoral may have remained in a stable, unglaciated condition for at least 9,000 years before the spreading ice-cap swallowed it entirely.
		He was, in addition, considered to be a great expert on the lands of the Mediterranean, and was the author of a famous sailing book, known as the Kitabi Bahriye, which provided a comprehensive description of the coasts, harbors, currents, shallows, landing places, bays and straits of the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas.
