Abstract

THE Oxford University Arctic Expedition 1935–36 wintered in North-east Land at 80° 23 N., 19° 31 E., where single photographs of the homogeneous auroral arcs were taken in order to determine their direction. The photographs were reduced by the method used by Wesoe1 and Stormer2. Persistent cloudiness prevented many photographs being made, but the average of fourteen measurements was 73° E. of N. for the region 80° N. to 76° N., 15° E. to 40° E. The individual determinations were 84°, 78°, 65°, 68°, 91°, 65°, 66°, 70°, 73°, 67°, 70°, 95°, 85°, 48° E. of N.
