Observed everywhere along the North Siberian coast where a landing was made, up to Taimur Island, and on the west side of Cape Chelyuskin.
The birds were seen, as a rule, only singly or a few together.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the groundbreaking observations made by Fridtjof Nansen and his companion Hjalmar Johansen during their epoch-making 1893â"1896 expedition to the Arctic. The initial three sections of the book present Nansen's personal observations, complemented by his verbal commentaries compiled during the preparation of this work. The last section comprises observations made during the Fram's drift with the ice floes in the summers of 1895 and 1896. Much of the book is devoted to the ornithological discoveries made during this historic voyage, including the previously undocumented summer breeding habits of Ivory Gulls, Fulmars, Kittiwakes, and Glaucous Gulls, all observed in their natural habitat at the northernmost extreme of life on earth. A remarkable array of other bird species are also discussed, many of them encountered for the first time by the authors. The work provides an unparalleled glimpse into the natural world of the Arctic, observed as it existed in an age before human interference indelibly altered the climate and its ecosystems.
