	The peaks of the Staunings Alps, looking across Pingo Pass from Pingo Dal, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/57 by Woolmore, Ray Unlike the two days earlier, the peaks of the Staunings Alps looking west from Pingo Dal Camp were completely clear of cloud. Still many ringed plover and dunlin in valley
	Looking north from foothills of Gurreholme Bjerge across Pingo Dal to the peaks of Werner Bjerge, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/58 by Woolmore, Ray From the Pingo Dal subsidiary camp established by Robert Burton, there was easy access fo the foothills and deep valleys of Gurreholme Bjerge, giving extensive views of the Werner Bjerge to the north
	Outlying ridge of the Gurreholme Bjerge, overlooking Pingo Dal Camp, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/59 by Woolmore, Ray After one day of depot laying Robert Burton, Arcturus Pingo Pass Expedition leader established a subsidiary camp here in the bottom of the valley, east of several pingos. This camp gave us easy access to deep valleys in the Gurreholme Bjerge, and on one long day to Orsted Dal.
	The Gates of Stordal Record: Y: 2012/20/6 by Woolmore, Ray A landscape of which the artist noted "I did this sketch on the expedition’s rest day after our long day’s return trek from Myggebukta. On this day in the morning, I had walked up Stordal to the “gates”, and to the very small trappers’ hut “Arvehytten” (No. 353 in Peter Schmidt-Mikkelsen 1994.)"
	Pingo Pass Base Camp, overlooking the Schuchert Dal glacier, Staunings Alps, NE Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/60 by Woolmore, Ray For the eleven stalwarts on the Arcturus Pingo Dal Expedition, leader Robert Burton, the Base Camp offered an incomparable view along Schuchert Dal, and across to the peaks of the Staunings Alps
	Pingo Pass Base Camp, looking west to Gannochy glacier and Staunings Alps, NE Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/61 by Woolmore, Ray After our trek down Pingo Dal we returned to Pingo Pass Base Camp on 22 July and renewed our observations of ringer plover, knot, snow buntings and sanderlings
	Looking west from Pingo Pass to Gannochy glacier and Staunings Alps, NE Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/62 by Woolmore, Ray The extensive views over the glaciers of the Staunings Alps as seen from Pingo Pass Base Camp were most impressive. Most of the expedition ventured down to the snout of the glacier which occupied the northern end of Schuchert Dal
	Innominate snow peak on ridge between the Roslin glacier and Schuchert Dal, from Pingo Pass, NE Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/63 by Woolmore, Ray The artist spent 1-2 hours on this detailed sketch of one of the snow peaks of the Staunings Alps from Base Camp, and nearly froze. In afternoon he climbed up to a viewpoint above the camp to take a panorama of the Staunings Alps
	Looking south down Schuchert Dal to Roslin Glacier moraine and Snekuppel, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/64 by Woolmore, Ray We later descended down to the eastern side of Schuchert Dal, where Robert Burton was to set up his second subsidiary camp, opposiste the moraines of Roslin Glacier. We passed several pingos, one featured here. Descending from the valley we disturbed seven arctic hares and several musk-oxen. Arctic skua were "bugging" members most of the time.
	Looking north up Schuchert Dal from Schuchert Dal Camp, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/65 by Woolmore, Ray Robert Burton, leader of Arcturus Pingo Pass Expedition, established our second subsidiary camp on 26 July on eastern side of Schuchert Dal, opposite snout and moraines of Roslin Glacier, and just south of two spectacular pingos. On 27 July Rolf and artist encountered pair of gyrfalcons (one male, one female) on plain to south of the camp
	The crater lake of Pingo No 3 on Schuchert Dal with cloud-covered Pingo Pass, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/66 by Woolmore, Ray This was one of two active pingos found on edge of Schuchert flood plain between Pingo Pass to the north and our subidiary camp on eastern side of Schuchert Dal opposite outlet of Roslin Glacier. (The two pingos were surveyed in the 1960s by geographers J. Cruikshank and Eric Colhoun from Queen's University, Belfast.)
	The Gannochy Glacier, Staunings Alps Record: Y: 2012/20/67 by Woolmore, Ray Pingo Pass Base Camp at 500m offered superb views of the Staunings Alps and its peaks and glaciers opposite. The artist sketched this stepped glacier while waiting for Twin Otter to pick up. Plane landed at 12.30pm (half an hour later) and briefly disgorged artists Bruce Pearson and James Morrison. Bob Burton wnet off with them for his Arcturus Artists' expedition at Mestersvig. At 1.45pm the twin otter returned to take our expedition to Constable Point, en route to Akureyri
	Icebergs seen from Milne Land Base Camp, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/68 by Woolmore, Ray Towering icebergs left stranded in this bay of Scoresby Sund (Hall Bredning). The airstrip was on the higher deltaic sands and gravels carrying the melt-water rivers flowing from the "Korridoren" ice-cap. The Arcturus Milne Land expedition 1997 led by Robert Burton established its Base Camp in this northern corner of the nameless bay, close to a river, which in a few days would burst its banks, after heavy rain, and nearly flood the camp.
	Cairn on rounded hill above Milne Land Base Camp, looking west to inland peaks, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/69 by Woolmore, Ray This hill was an easy climb on smooth rounded rock outcrops, and offered magnificent views over the Milne Land ice-caps and peaks.
	Nordhoeks Bjerg from East Loch Fyne Record: Y: 2012/20/7 by Woolmore, Ray A lanscape of which the artist noted "This sketch of Nordhoeksbjerg, the 1502m peak on the western side of Loch Tyne was drawn from our idyllic camp site by the Bunnhuset Hut, on the eastern side of Loch Fyne. Earlier in the day 35 barnacle geese, 20 pinkfeet geese and 3 glaucous gulls had passed by our camp."
	Flooded Base Camp and ice-bergs, Milne Land, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/70 by Woolmore, Ray After a few fine days, heavy rain ensued for two days, causing river to overlfow and nearly flood the camp. The mess tent in the centre of the sketch was where we revived our spirits with the same. The Arcturus leader, Robert Burton, managed the situation very well.
	Inuit fox-trap/cache near Base Camp, Milne Land, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/71 by Woolmore, Ray Indicative of the artist's growing interest in Inuit archaeology, this was drawn in the few fine days following return from Bregnepynt and the Bear Islans. Hesitates to put date of origin, as Inuit returned to the Scoresby Sund area in 1930.
	Looking north to the mountains and glaciers of Renland from Haven Camp, Bear Islands, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/72 by Woolmore, Ray A most spectacular location, close to the pinnacles and spires of the Renland peaks. The Arcturus expedition led by Robert Burton spent three days exploring this westernmost Bear Island. On the last day, before being picked up by a small power-boat, they experienced torrential rain with water overflowing from the ground.
	Looking north to Bear Islands from Bregne Point Camp, Milne Land, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/73 by Woolmore, Ray After a very wet final day on the westernmost Bear Island they were transported by motor boat (owned and driven by one of the Scoresby Sund Inuit) to Bregne Pynt, the final subidiary camp before returning to Base Camp. Three days at the Pynt were dry but dull, though on the day of departure clear blue sky and sunshine enhanced the dramatic views all round.
	Looking north to Bear Islands and Renland from Bregne Point Camp, Milne Land, N.E. Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/74 by Woolmore, Ray A magnificent scenic location looking north to the serrated peaks of the Bear Islands, and the ice peaks of Renland. After a wet day and voyage from the westernmost Bear island we dried out and relaxed. Artist surveyed a possible Paleo-Eskimo tent ring with another expedition member.
	Point 388 (m), Peter's Peak, looking west to inland ice of Milne Land, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/75 by Woolmore, Ray Peter Roberts, a stalwart of Arcturus expeditions, climbed the pyramidal rock peak, shown in the sketch, while most of us relaxed in the sunshine of the last idyllic days at Base Camp.
	Point 388 (m), Peter's Peak, looking west into inland ice of Milne Land, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/76 by Woolmore, Ray Peter Roberts, a stalwart of Arcturus Expeditions, climbed the rock peak (388 m) shown on left of sketch. Others, like artist, sought more relaxing routes, merely exploring the valley below the peak, while Rod Corner and Hugh Lang botanised, and Peter Barratt successfully fished for char. A marvellously sunny and relaxing end to the expedition.
	Looking across Hall Bay to Jameson Land, from south of Milne Land Base Camp, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/77 by Woolmore, Ray A short walk inland from Base Camp in the idyllic few days following our return from Bregnepynt and the Bear lslands. There were char galore in this part of the river.
	On sketch - Ingmikertikajik from Base Camp by Kukajik Beach. On mount below - Icebergs and Ingmikertikajik from Syd Kap Base Camp, North-East Greenland. (date 31 August is wrong) Record: Y: 2012/20/78 by Woolmore, Ray Arcturus Base Camp above Kukajik Beach. This 1990 expedition was led by Crispin Day.
	Looking south-west to Renland and Ofjord from above Syd Kap Base Camp, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/79 by Woolmore, Ray View looking south-west from the Arcturus Syd Kap Expedition's Base Camp 1998, led by Crispin Day. The Base Camp was several kilometres east of the deserted Inuit village of Syd Kap; but only just above the beach camp site used as a summer holiday settlement by Inuit from Scoresby Sund.
	Loch Fyne Sirius Station, Hold-with-Hope, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/8 by Woolmore, Ray One of two views of huts at Loch Fyne drawn on consecutave days, the artist noted "We stayed overnight in this Hut, en route to Bunnhuset, on the eastern side of Loch Fyne. The hut, still in good condition was built by the Danish Nanok trapping company in 1945, and is now used by the Danish Sirius Patrol. I explored further north along the coast where I found basalt sills, with hexagonal columns. On the gravel spit north of the hut I was dived on aggressively by two arctic terns, though I did not discover the nest they were protecting."
	Abandoned modern dwelling and icebergs, Syd Kap, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/80 by Woolmore, Ray Nearby this dwelling was a large shed. there was evidence the house was still visited and used on a temporary basis. Only a few kilometres along the coast from the Arcturus Expedition's Base Camp, it was visited by all its members. Beach debris 50 feet or more above sea-level indicated that very large bergs had collapsed and caused freak high waves flooding up from the shore.
	Inland Camp, looking south-west to Renland and Bear islands, Kjoveland, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/81 by Woolmore, Ray Crispin day, leader of the Arcturus Syd Kap Expedition 1998, skilfully chose this site for the inland camp. The two huge rocks made its location, adjacent to the river flowing into the Kangerterajiva Bay, instantly recognisable. they also provided shelter for tents and cooking. There was easy access from this camp onto the surrounding hills, including Pythagoras Bjerg (1378m).
	Looking north from near summit of peak 967 to the Stauning Alps and peak 1187, Kjoveland, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/82 by Woolmore, Ray This was the only one of the peaks surrounding the expedition's inland camp which was climbed by myself. All of the other surroundings peaks were climbed by others in the expedition, including the highest, Pythagorasberg (1376m) by the Arcturus leader, Cripsin Day, David Shaw, and Mike and Diana Cavanagh
	The icy peaks of Renland looking west from the valley beneath Pythagoras Bjerg, Kjoveland, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/83 by Woolmore, Ray Much of the valley slope of Pythagorasberg (1376m) is strewn with huge boulders (looking like musk-oxen in this sketch), either huge erratics or rocks fallen in landslide. I walked to the gap overlooking the Nordvestfjord, looking across to the icy peaks of Renland. Hugh Lang and David Shaw followed much the same route
	Looking east from near Inland Camp to Nordostbugt and Schuchert Elv, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/84 by Woolmore, Ray The artist noted about this sketch "I took this excursion northwards to look into the Holger Danskes Briller Valley and its lakes, with an unimpeded view of the southern Stauning Alper." Both Peter Roberts and the artist were visited by an inquisitive arctic fox on this ridge. The sketch shows the outlet river of the Holger Danskes Briller Valley and lakes, and also the mass of bergs trapped and grounded in the Nordostbugt. Beyond the long promentory on the east of Nordostbugt are the huge delta of the main Schuchert Flod, and the distant shoreline of Jameson Land
	Inland camp and peak 535, Kjoveland, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/85 by Woolmore, Ray Crispin Day, leader of the Syd Kap Arcturus Expedition 1998, skilfully chose this site for the inland camp. It could easily be found, offered shelter for the camp, and gave easty access to all the sourrounding hills, of which 535 to the south was the lowest, and an easy climb, but with extensive views all round.
	Syd Kap Base Camp looking south-west to Ingmikertikajik and Renland, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/86 by Woolmore, Ray Our expedition doctor, Hugh Lang, was called down to the Scoresby Sund summer camp on the Beach to deal with a badly scalded Inuit baby. After administering the necessary treatment and salve he returned to us, but followed by a young Inuit carrying a sack of fresh char. When we returned from the Inland Camp, another sack of fish was brought to us by young Inuit, and the sketch shows them sitting and eatin the chocolate we gave them as rewards for the fish
	Ruins of Inuit winter dwelling (foreground) looking south across Hall Bredning and Ingmikertikajik, Syd Kap, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/87 by Woolmore, Ray This sketch shows one of a linked group of Thule winter-dwellings, easily accessible from the Arcturus Expedition Base Camp, just above the Kukajik Beach. Multi-shaped icebergs in Nordvest fjord passed by or were temporarily grounded
	Gurreholm Station looking west across Nordost Bugt to Syd Kap and Kjoveland, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/88 by Woolmore, Ray The Arcturus Syd Kap expedition, lead by Crispin Day, spent the last two nights of the expedition at this large and historic Trappers' Station, having been transpoerted from Kukajik Beach by a Scoresby sund Inuit in two journeys. On the last day a Twin Otter made the first landing for 20 odd years on the steep sloping grass strip just above the Station, and transported the party back to Constable Pynt; minus Crispin Day and Peter Roberts who were taken back by boat to Milne Land.
	Ehrenbjerg Ffeld, Tyroler Fjord and A.P. Olsen Land from Theodolit-plateau, Clavering Island, NE Greenland, July '99 Record: Y: 2012/20/89 by Woolmore, Ray A long view up Tyroler Fjord which separates Payer Land from O.P. Olsen Land. Only Simon Fraser, one of the two Arcturus leaders, climbed the sharp pyramidal peak of Ehrenberg Fjeld (1,239m).
	East Loch Fyne, trapper’s hut, Hold-with-Hope, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2012/20/9 by Woolmore, Ray One of two views of huts at Loch Fyne drawn on consecutive days, the artist noted "On a sunny morning we walked from the Sirius Loch Fyne Hut, across the sandy flats of the Bendelv, to eventually reach the Bunnhuset Hut on the eastern side of Loch Fyne, where Robert Burton established our camp for three days. Bunnhuset, now derelict, was built by Norwegian trappers in 1926. We used the Hut for cooking and Robert did a few repairs to the roof and walls. On the following day Robert led three of us into Tobias Dal, while Hugh Montgomery rested his injured knee (he had fallen into a small river just before we had reached Bunnhuset)."
	Clavering Island ice-peaks from Theodolit-plateau NE Greenland, July 1999 Record: Y: 2012/20/90 by Woolmore, Ray An easy climb up to the plateau, with its multi-coloured rocks and pinnacles, very much a cold desert. From the plateau the ice-peaks at the centre of the Island seemed very close. The artist was accompanied by fellow expedition member and long-time friend, David Shaw
	Clavering Island from the Revet Hut - Clavering Island NE Greenland Expedition, July 1999 Record: Y: 2012/20/91 by Woolmore, Ray Looking over the tidal mud-flats at the head of Rudi Bugt, with the Clavering Island peaks of Dunken and Bramsen Bjerg (1273m) behind. Soon after completing this sketch, the artist and his companions watched two adult wolves and young padding across the mud-flats.
	Moskusheimem (Revet) and Clavering Island snow-peaks, North-East Greenland, July 1999 Record: Y: 2012/20/92 by Woolmore, Ray First visit to the famous Revet Hut, with Clavering Island and Revet Arcturus Expedition 1999, led by Kathleen Cartwright and Simon Fraser. The artist noted about this sketch "We set up tents outside, but used the room containing the stove for cooking, meals and shelter. The hust brings back good memories of Dr Hugh Lang, a stalwart of Erskine and Arcturus Expeditions, and an expert botanist, sitting in an armchair, and on his last expedition before he died from cancer three months later, at the age of 79"
	Payer Land and the Great Glacier from the pass below Ehrenbjerg Fjeld - North-East Greenland - July 1999 Record: Y: 2012/20/93 by Woolmore, Ray Only three, including the artist, of the Arcturus expedition managed to cross the icy and deep river en route to the Pass and the Great Glacier. The Great Glacier descending from the Payer Land ice-cap appears on the lefthand side of this sketch with peak 1239(m) above.
	Trappers' boat and Revet Hut, North-East Greenland, July 1999 Record: Y: 2012/20/94 by Woolmore, Ray Whether this now sand-filled boat was ever used by the famous Henry Rudi, tenant of Revet in 1927-30 and 1938-42, is an interesting question.
	Courtauld Bjerg and Grantafjord - North-East Greenland, July 1999 Record: Y: 2012/20/95 by Woolmore, Ray This sketch marks the furthest point west reached by the artist along the shore of Grantafjord. Many of the names in this area stem from the Cambridge University Expeditions led by J.M. Wordie in the 1920s
	Courtauld Bjerg and Grantafjord - North-East Greenland, July 1999, Clavering Island, North-East Greenland, July 1999 Record: Y: 2012/20/96 by Woolmore, Ray Looking north from the Clavering Island Base Camp to the sharp peak of Ehrenbjerg Field (1239m), on Payer Land, and later climbed by one of the Arcturus Expedition leaders, Simon Fraser.
	Revet hut, looking across Copeland Fjord to Blosseville Bjerg, NE Greenland, August 99 Record: Y: 2012/20/97 by Woolmore, Ray Looking south over Revet and mud flats of Tengen to Copeland Fjord, Blosseville Bjerg (1233m), Jordanhill (1410m) and the peaks of Tagbergen.
	The cloud-covered peaks of Ehrenbjerg Fjeld and Giesecke Bjerg from Clavering Island - NE Greenland - August 1999 Record: Y: 2012/20/98 by Woolmore, Ray This tarn was only an evening walk above the Base Camp, and was often a landing place for long-tailed ducks, divers and geese. Between the Camp and the Tarn were extensive banks of rich yellow arnica.
	Base Camp looking across to Copeland Fjord and the cloud-covered Blosseville Bjerg, Clavering Island, NE Greenland, August 1999 Record: Y: 2012/20/99 by Woolmore, Ray 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.
	Amitsorssuaq from the South Record: Y: 2018/1/1 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'This was my second backpacking expedition to Greenland, this time to the vast plateau area of cariboo [sic] pasture and innumerable lakes on the western side of Greenland. The two week expedition was organised by Commander Angus Erskine and ledn by the natural history writer, Robert Burton'.
	Innuta's boat at Harefjord harbour looking south to the edge of Inland Ice, North-East Greenland Record: Y: 2018/1/10 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'Expedition members had walked over the C. Hofmann Halvo ridge from their camp on Rypefjord, and had descended to the safe harbour of Ternevigene, on Harefjord, where the two expedition boats had already been moored. On the lower slopes of the ridge, densely vegetated with bilberry, dwarf birch and willow, were found several Thule sunken dwellings. The sketch shows Innuta's boat "Nuumit 19".'
	The view east from Renodde Camp, to the south-western tip of Milne Land, NE Greenland Record: Y: 2018/1/11 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'Renodde was the site of Innuta's semi-permanent camp, where he stored his "tent-house" in a massive wooden box. The expedition stayed two nights at Rennode, during which time a gale blew much ice into the harbour, forcing the two Inuit skippers to move their boats to a more sheltered location. Jean Stenico and myself discovered several Thule Culture tent rings on the southern slopes of Renodde.'
	Innuta's tent-house at Renodde, Gaseland, NE Greenland Record: Y: 2018/1/12 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'Renodde, the site of Innuta's tent-house, was not just an important site for hunting by the Scoresby Sund Inuit Community, but with its high mountains and ice-bergs was a most dramatic location. During a gale, all the expedition members' tents were blown down. Only Innuta's solid tent-house remained intact.'
	'Umanak' mountain, West Greenland Record: Y: 2018/1/13 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'Having forsaken back-packing expeditions because of age in August 2009, I travelled on Hurtigruten's MS Fram on a scenic voyage along the west coast of Greenland, from Kangerlussuaq to Umanak via Sisimut and Disko Island, returning via Ilulissat. At Umanak I ventured on to the low plateau above the town, and there completed this rapid sketch of the famous heart-shaped mountain just above me.'
	'Inussut', cairn on coastal path above Ilulissat Icefjord, West Greenland Record: Y: 2018/1/14 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'Having seen the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Ilulissat Icefjord Glacier from sea-leveel in a Zodiac in 1990 I walked to the northern land side of the glacier and ice-bergs. I took the opportunity to sketch a cairn marking the coastal path. En route to this cairn I passed through the extensive "dog" ville [sic] and also a sign warning of the extreme danger of sudden tsunami waves caused by the collapse of huge ice-bergs.'
	Phalarope Camp Record: Y: 2018/1/2 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'A sketch of one of many idyllic camp sites, overlooking lakes and smaller pools, often containing phalarope. Our leader, Robert Burton, kept the expedition well-informed of the numerous birds all around.'
	Herbert Island Record: Y: 2018/1/3 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'This 1986 expedtion "In the Footsteps of Peary" was organised by Commander Angus Erskine and led by Will Higgs. Jean Balfour, a past Chairman of the Countryside Commission for Scotland, and John Arnott, of the BBC, were amongst its members. Though Sir Wally Herbert, arguably the first man to walk to the North Pole (1968-9), lived with the Inuitn on Herbert Island, the island was named after [an] earlier explorer with the same surname.'
	Ice-bergs at the mouth of McCormick Fjord Record: Y: 2018/1/4 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'Very little was left of Peary's Hut, apart from a few rusty nails, at this extremely cold location. The expedition walked north-eastwards along the Fjord, finding a few examples of the Labrador Tea plant. Eventually the expedition was picked up by the Inuit boat returning John Arnott from his BBC recording project in Siorapaluk, the most northerly inhabited village in Greenland.'
	Herbert Island from Four Mile Delta (Dal) Camp Record: Y: 2018/1/5 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'The Inuit boat put the expedition ashore at a husky dog "camp" at the southern end of Four Mile Dal. We returned to Quannaq walking eastwards along the coastal plain, but also took an excursion on to the ice-cap.'
	Sun Gletscher across McCormick Fjord Record: Y: 2018/1/6 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'This viewpoint, near the head of McCormick Fjord was the furthest north the expedition ventured. The lowland around Lake Taserssuit contained much of natural history interest, including red-throated divers, and examples of Labrador tea (Ledum palustre) and a rare lousewort (pedicularis suedetica) found by the expedition botanists, Dr Hugh Lang and Jean Balfour.'
	The hunters' house, Suuninnguaa at Sydkap, offshore iceberg and Ingmikertikgik, NE Greenland Record: Y: 2018/1/7 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'Syd Kap was the second stop on the "boat" expedition exploring the fjords of Scoresby Sund organised by Arcturus and led by Kathleen Cartwright, using two small boats and their drivers from the Scoresby Sund Inuit community. A magnificent scenic location much used in the summer by the Scoresby Sund community.'
	The view south-westwards from Sydkap cam to Hall Bredning bergs and Milne Land, NE Greenland Record: Y: 2018/1/8 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'This sketch shows the huge ice-bergs coming down from the inland ice-cap along the Nordvestfjord before exiting onto Hall Bredning. The expedition spent two days exploring Syd Kap on foot, including visiting the many Inuit archaeological remains.'
	The jagged peaks of the inner Bear Islands from Bear Island camp, NE Greenland Record: Y: 2018/1/9 by Woolmore, Ray Artist's description: 'The dramatic jagged peaks of the Bear Islands with the trapped ice-bergs were seen to full advantage from the expedtion's landing places on the Islands. In 1997 the artist had dran the peaks of Renland from Haven Camp on the western-most of the Islands.'
