Title: Ravnedalen and bergstrewn Inderbredningen from Fangersund island, Dove Bugt, NE Greenland, August 2006
Description: The expedition members were ferried by Zodiac to the Fangersund Island to the north of their subsidiary camp. the sketch title wrongly names the valley shown as Ravnedalen; it is, in fact, the parallel valley to Ravnedalen to the south. The only Inuit archaeological feature found by the expedition was a fox trap. They did, however, see snow hare and ptarmigan, and even a polar bear swimming offshore.
Medium: Chalk and charcoal sketch
Artist: Woolmore, Ray
Note: Looking westwards from Fangersund Island, just north of the subsidiary camp on the eastern side of Inderbredningen. Lat. 76°17'N, long. 21°25'W. (Kalaallit Nunaat Gronland 1:100,000 Sheet 76 Ø.1 SV)
