Stockholm to Spitsbergen: The Geologists' Pilgrimage

Abstract

WE geologists who were privileged to take part in the jaurney to Spitsbergen before the meeting of the Geological Congress in Stockholm had good reason to count ourselves fortunate. Perfect weather, genial companionship, comfortable surroundings, admirable organisation and guidance, and a route through the strongholds of Thor of the Hammer, in which intense scientific interest was constantly united with entrancing beauty of scene—surely the combination would have roused enthusiasm among much more stolid folk than the impressionable race of hammerers!
