摘要:

Pursuing archival leads, the author made a detailed photographic survey of several dozen names, dates and other inscriptions carved in the rock of Anikiyev Island off the eastern end of Rybachiy Peninsula, on the north coast of the Kola Peninsula. Of 45 foreign inscriptions, at least 23 were Danish in origin; they fell into two periods, 1595–1615 and 1675–1709, with a concentration in the period 1684–98. Of the ports of origin named in the inscriptions, eight lie in Denmark or Schleswig, with Flensburg and Sønderborg being particularly prominent. The Russian inscriptions present are all of fairly late date—mid‐17th to early 19th century. The author has attempted, with considerable success, to match these indications of Danish and Russian seafaring and trading in the area of Rybachiy Peninsula with information on the topic derived from archival sources.

摘要:

The article examines the changes in the structure of the vegetation cover resulting from the building of a corduroy road in the Samotlor Swamp, a major oil‐producing area of West Siberia. The road runs through three major associations: a pine‐shrub‐sphagnum complex, a string‐bog complex, and a string‐bog‐with‐pools complex. The impact of the road on each of these is studied in turn in great detail, with emphasis on the changes in species composition with time, depending on distance from the road.

摘要:

The problem of measuring precipitation and determining its monthly sums is discussed. It is shown that the monthly amount of precipitation in the uninvestigated part of Antarctica can be calculated from a map of annual precipitation. Data on the intensity of precipitation are presented. The author also analyzed the spatial distribution of the number of days with precipitation of more than 0.1 mm and monthly precipitation by season and by year.

摘要:

The Schirmacher Ponds, a group of shallow ponds of melt‐water in the New Schwabenland portion of Queen Maud Land, were the subject of a year‐round investigation in 1976–77. The investigation yielded data on the runoff rate within the drainage basin, the extent of ice cover, radiation regime and temperature.
