Object name:	Chalk and charcoal sketch
Title:	The vast snow domes of the southern Staunings Alps seen across Karstryggen, NE Greenland
Description:	Most of the expedition visited these slopes of the lower southern end of Karstryggen, which not only offered extensive views over the snow domes of the southern Stauning alps, but also provided pasture for several herds of musk-oxen, some with tags, indicating that one female, at least (tag 353) had been tagged as a 3 year old in Coloradodal in Jameson Land (50 kms away). The many snow patches on the plateau provided mosqito-free refuges for the musk-oxen.
