Accession no.: Y: 2012/20/100
Object name: Chalk and charcoal sketch
Title: A.P. Olsen Land peaks across Tyroler Fjord from Clavering Island airstrip, N.E. Greenland, August '99.
Description: This sketch was drawn looking N from the airstrip, on the last day of the expedition, waiting for the Twin Otter to pick the group up. The sketch has a style which reflects that it was a perfect sketching day, with neither mosquitos nor cold winds, which enabled the artist to take much longer over its completion. It lacks the "quickfire" style of sketch undertaken in the normal 1/2-3/4 hour time.
Medium: Chalk and charcoal sketch
Artist: Woolmore, Ray
Note: Clavering Island airstrip, on the firmer sand and gravel banks of the Tangen Delta. Lat. 74°21'N, long. 21°45'W. (Danmark-Gronland 1:250,000 Sheet 74 Ø.2 Clavering Island.)
