Abstract
A NEW map on a scale of 1: 200,000 of the coast-lands of East Greenland between Sofia Sound in about lat. 73° N. and Young Sound in about lat. 74° 10′ N. based on surveys by Norwegian expeditions in 1929 and 1931 has been published by Norges Svalbard og Ishavs-Undersakelser. This includes the coasts to the north and south of the Norwegian meteorological observatory at Myggbukta in Mackenzie Bay in lat. 73° 29′ N., long. 21° 34′ W. This coast was first sighted by Hudson in 1607 and has since been explored by various expeditions, including those of Clavering in 1823, Nathorst in 1899 and in the north by Wordie in 1926. While much detail is still omitted, the new chart shows many advances on previous ones.
