Abstract
The sixth volume in the series consists of Sophus Tromholt's monograph Under Nordlysets Straaler, first published in Danish in 1885 and then in a slightly different English version (Under the Rays of the Aurora Borealis, in two vols.) later in the same year. Both editions are included here, digitized from copies kept by the University Library of UiT The Arctic University of Norway. They are introduced by a biographical essay and summaries of contents by Kira Moss, UiT in Tromsø.
Highlights
While recounting the background for the expedition and his personal experiences during the journey to and stay in Kautokeino, Tromholt includes vivid depictions of the region’s ethnography, history, and natural history, with a special emphasis on the local Sami population
The series would not have been possible without the aid of scholars willing to write the introductions; in this case, Kira Moss, currently working as a librarian at the University Library, University of Norway (UiT)
