CHAQ2020 - Snow Hill Island - Plans and drawings
CHAQ2020 - Snow Hillön - Planer och ritningar
The first Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901-1903), led by Otto Nordenskjöld, sailed to Antarctica on the ship Antarctic captained by CA Larsen, and established a research station on Snow Hill Island. There six members overwintered and performed paleontological, meteorological, geomagnetic and geological studies, while the rest of the expedition set sail for South Orkney. After the winter, on the way back to Snow Hill Island, the Antarctic got stuck in the ice and sank. At this point, the expedition members were divided into three groups. One of these overwintered an extra year on Snow Hill Island, whereas the other two groups were forced to build stone huts in order to overwinter at Hope Bay and Paulet Island. An Argentinean vessel, the Corbeta Uruguay, rescued the expedition in November 1903. CHAQ 2020 is an Argentinean-Swedish project with fieldwork in the area around the Antarctic Peninsula aiming to investigating and documenting the historical remains of the first Swedish South Polar expedition under the leadership of Otto Nordenskjöld 1901-1903. The material was collected in January and February 2020. This catalogue entry collects the drawings and plans created from data gathered at Snow Hill Island. The drawings of the winter station were carried out using traditional methods and are available both as pencil originals with notes and cleaned up ink drawings. The plans were produced using scan data from the Faro Focus m70 on January 12, 13, and 19.
Syftet med forskningsprojektet var att dokumentera lämningarna efter Otto Nordenskjölds Antarktisexpeditionen 1901-1903. Materialet består av fotografier, planer, ritningar, 3d-modeller och drönarfilmer från Snow Hillön, Hoppets Vik och Seymourön. Denna katalogpost samlar de ritningar och planer som skapades på Snow Hillön. Se den engelska beskrivningen för mer information. Ritningarna av vinterstationen skapades med hjälp av traditionella metoder och är tillgängliga både som originalskisser med noteringar och renritade i bläck. Planerna är skapade med hjälp av den skanningsdata som samlades in på den tolfte, trettonde och nittonde januari med en Faro Focus m70 skanner.
