Margaretatop
Margaretatop is a mountain in eastern Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park.Google Earth History At the time of Lauge Koch's 1949–51 expeditions this summit was named after Margareta Hediger by American geologist John Haller, a Fellow of the Geological Society of America. The peak is marked as "Margaretatopp" and "Margarita Spids" in some maps. ''Margaretasø'' is a small lake in neighboring Rendal at where the reflection of the mountain can be seen on its surface. This lake was named by John Haller after the same person. Geography Margaretatop is the highest point of Andrée Land. It is a roughly high peak that rises in the southwestern part of Andrée Land, east of the Rendal valley and northeast of the shore of the Isfjord, a northern branch of Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord ( da, Kejser Franz Josef Fjord; kl, Kangerluk Kejser Franz Joseph) is a major fjord system in the NE Greenland National Park are ...

Andrée Land (Greenland)
Andrée Land is a peninsula in King Christian X Land, East Greenland that is bounded by Kejser Franz Joseph Fjord, ''Isfjord'' and ''Geologfjord''. History The peninsula was named by A.G. Nathorst on his 1899 expedition after Swedish Arctic explorer Salomon August Andrée, who had made an attempt to reach the North Pole by balloon in 1897. One of the aims of Nathorst's 1899 venture was to search for traces of the lost Andrée's Arctic Balloon Expedition, whose fate was unknown until 1930, when it became known that Andrée had crash-landed on the pack ice and died on Kvitøya. The region was later visited and accurately mapped during Lauge Koch's expeditions to East Greenland. Geography Andrée Land is located about 100 km inland from the Foster Bay of the Greenland Sea. It is bound by Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord in the southeast, and two branches of it, the Isfjord —beyond which lies Fraenkel Land— in the SW and the Geologfjord, beyond which lies Strindberg L ...

Isfjord
Isfjord, meaning 'Ice Fjord' in the Danish language, is a fjord in King Christian X Land, eastern Greenland. The Isfjord is part of the Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord complex''Prostar Sailing Directions 2005 Greenland and Iceland Enroute'', p. 120 in the area of the Northeast Greenland National Park. Geography The Jaette Glacier in the west and the Gerard de Geer Glacier in the north flow into the head of the Isfjord. Louise Boyd Land rises at the fjord's western end between the two glaciers. This tributary fjord extends between high mountains in a northwest–southeast direction for about 50 km until its mouth in the Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord at the southern end. To the northeast the fjord is bound by Andrée Land and to the south and southwest by Frænkel Land. The Margaretatop, highest point of Andrée Land, rises north of the shore of the mouth area of the fjord.

Lauge Koch
Lauge Koch (5 July 1892 – 5 June 1964) was a Danish geologist and Arctic explorer. Biography Lauge Koch was born in 1892 to Karl and Elisabeth Koch. His development as a scientist was greatly influenced by his father's second cousin Johan Peter Koch - a polar explorer, a member of several Greenland expeditions, including Ludvig Mylius-Erichsen's and Alfred Wegener's (in the latter's expedition (1912-1913) to cross Greenland, he led a sledging party). He received his higher education at the University of Copenhagen, where he began his studies in 1911, in 1920 he received a master's degree, and in 1929 a doctor's degree, having defended a dissertation on the topic " Stratigraphy of Greenland". General He was the renowned leader of 24 Danish government expeditions to Greenland, and the central character in the ''Lauge Koch Controversy'', an international and intra-national conflict. Beginning in December 1935 a bitter conflict arose between Koch and eleven of the most promin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Operational Navigation Chart B-9, 1st Edition
An operational definition specifies concrete, replicable procedures designed to represent a construct. In the words of American psychologist S.S. Stevens (1935), "An operation is the performance which we execute in order to make known a concept." For example, an operational definition of "fear" (the construct) often includes measurable physiologic responses that occur in response to a perceived threat. Thus, "fear" might be operationally defined as specified changes in heart rate, galvanic skin response, pupil dilation, and blood pressure. Overview An operational definition is designed to model or represent a concept or theoretical definition, also known as a construct. Scientists should describe the operations (procedures, actions, or processes) that define the concept with enough specificity such that other investigators can replicate their research. Operational definitions are also used to define system states in terms of a specific, publicly accessible process of preparation ...
