The Arctic 136 years ago today: First International Polar Year (09 Oct 1882) https://buff.ly/2RCxEvF By the 1870s polar exploration was becoming increasingly nationalistic, but some realized that a coordinated approach involving multiple simultaneous expeditions might be more fruitful. This thinking led to the International Polar Year, when from the summer of 1882 to that of 1883, researchers from Austria-Hungary, Britain, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the US operated meteorological stations around the Arctic circle in what was to be the first great international scientific project. #arctic #history #welovemaps #map #1880s #1882 #austriahungary #arctichistory #canadianhistory #arcticexploration #greenland #janmayen #keewatindistrict #northwestterritories #norway #nunavut #october #october9 #russianempire #svalbard #swedishhistory #britishempire #northpole #maps #polarexploration #historygeek #historynerd #historyteacher #todayinhistory #historybuff (at Point Barrow) https://www.instagram.com/p/BotOTL6gLf7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gjpdqz89jo0a

The Arctic 85 years ago today: Erik the Red's Land (12 Jul 1932) http://omniatlas.com/maps/arctic/19320712/ In return for Denmark abandoning any claims on Svalbard, Norway had agreed to recognize Danish sovereignty over Greenland. However, northeast Greenland remained dominated by Norwegian whalers and trappers and in 1931 declared itself for Norway as Erik the Red's Land. The dispute was brought before the World Court in 1933, which ruled against Norway and led it to abandon the claim. #arctic #history #welovemaps #1930s #1932 #britishempire_commonwealth #canada #canadianhistory #denmark #eriktheredsland #franzjosefland #greatbritain #greenland #ireland #janmayen #japan #july #july12 #manchuria #maps #newfoundlandandlabrador #northwestterritories #norway #norwegians #nunavut #quebec #russia #svalbard #sverdrupislands #unitedstates (at Myggbukta, Ostgronland, Greenland)

The Arctic 76 years ago today: Greenland Protectorate (09 Apr 1941) http://omniatlas.com/maps/arctic/19410409/ Concerned about the possibility of a British/Canadian invasion of Greenland, the United States and the Greenlandic government quickly established diplomatic relations after the fall of Denmark. However when, in June 1940, the Germans conquered France, the US began moving to support the British war effort. The strategic importance of Greenland grew with this trans-Atlantic partnership and in 1941 the island agreed to US military protection. #arctic #history #welovemaps #1940s #1941 #april #april9 #canadianhistory #france #germany #greatbritain #greenland #italy #janmayen #japan #maps #norway #unitedstates #worldwarii (at Nuuk, Greenland)

❰ 𝗦𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗗/𝗝𝗔𝗡 𝗠𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗡 ❱ Imagine what it would be like to sail through these lands, specially when you have a hot tub in the back of your boat 😳 (image: 8 & 10) scroll to see this amazing series by our friend Leo Thomas #wearepangea ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿: @theolator ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❰ 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗦 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗦 ❱ Surreal hot tub session under the midnight sun. Next to glaciers and mountains right in the Arctic Ocean, I could have never imagined myself sitting in a hot tub with a bunch of amazing folks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When sailing through Svalbard, its not always as glamours as it may seem on the photos, I’ve shared. There are always loads of hours in between, where there is nothing to photograph. Times of waiting and watching out for the next motif to appear. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Even from far distance, you hear the noise when a chunk of ice breaks away from the glacier and hits the water. A loud cracking, followed by a thunderous boom and finished by waves splashing against the boat - a magnificent yet humbling sound.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❰ 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘 ❱ Sitting in the Arctic Ocean, halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole, these islands have a few thousand inhabitants, mostly by Norwegian researchers, miners, and meteorologists. More than half the land is covered in glaciers, and with no roads beyond the towns, the snowmobile is popular. Beerenberg volcano towering over Jan Mayen, while in Svalbard, seven national parks preserving the unspoilt but delicate arctic ecosystems. 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲: @matadornetwork ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •• 𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗘𝗔 • 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 • 𝗖𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 • 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 •• « #europe #norway #svalbard #janmayen #travel » (at Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9HBs3pBUmo/?igshid=15droo3z0tc56

Have you heard of Jan Mayen? 🌋 Jan Mayen is a Norwegian volcanic island in the Arctic Ocean. Our friend @matsgriseth just completed his first expedition to Jan Mayen, possibly being the youngest expedition leader sailing from Svalbard to Jan Mayen. ⛵️ A trip surrounded by whales and beautiful scenery. 🐋 Here they’ve anchored up with a view of the Beerenberg volcano in the background. Would you want to go? 📷@matsgrimseth #hellyhansen #janmayen #seilnorge tags- 🌎 #ig_world_colors #igs_world #awesome_photographers #instatags @insta.tags #theworldshotz #wonderful_places #loves_world #just_features #worldbestgram #loves_united_world #igworldclub #bestcitybreaks #ig_worldclub #insta_world_photo #worldplaces #super_world_channel #global_capture #hot_shotz #global_hotshotz #got__greatshots #lost_world_treasures #worldwidecapture_ #lovetheworld #world_inside https://www.instagram.com/p/B24eKtVp1N3/?igshid=15enpc9b4610q

Couple of weeks ago I had a wonderful weekend in Helsinki with my boyfriend. Certainly I decided to take my art supplies with me. Unfortunately I couldn’t decide what to leave behind, so I took all I had;) For my defence I can say I tried to use all of them) But a black thin liner and my awesome Winsor&Newton sketchers’ pocket box are my favourites. One day we spent on the local beach and I did this small drawing of a summer cafe. Once again I was amazed with Scandinavian architecture and their excellent taste. The evening we spent at the city centre quay. In front of us was this cute red boat with a restaurant on board, I loved it and I drew it!) There are so many beautiful vessels in Helsinki port! Of all sizes, styles and materials! There are boats more than hundred years old! I think the only hundred years old ship in St. Petersburg I’ve ever seen was сruiser Aurora:)
