Hardcover / 2004 / Bokmål
What epoch-making scientific discoveries were made during the expeditions, and by whom? Is polar research Norway's scientific flagship? Public interest in the major expeditions has dominated in relation to the research aspects of the activity. But it is research into topography, ocean currents, meteorology, biology, climate, etc. that has perhaps been the most important justification for the expeditions. What epoch-making discoveries were made, and by whom? Has the research been used to promote national interests? Is polar research Norway's scientific flagship, with major academic repercussions? Where does Norwegian research in the polar regions stand today, in an international community?
