Chalk and charcoal sketch |
| Title: |
Base Camp looking across to Copeland Fjord and the cloud-covered Blosseville Bjerg, Clavering Island, NE Greenland, August 1999 |
| Description: |
This sketch was drawn on the penultimate day of the Expedition, with low cloud cover. The river nearby had only an intermittent flow; and to obtain a good water supply our "water engineer" and stalwart of Arcturus Expeditions, Peter Roberts, had to dig holes in the river bed and let the mud and sand particles settle out before it could be used. |
