Noua Belgica. Racoviţă - De Gerlache: conexiunea romano-belgiană

  • Subiect: New Belgica. Racoviţă - de Gerlache: a Romanian - Belgian link On 16 August 1897, a Belgian navy captain Adrien de Gerlache left Antwerp for the Antarctic with an international crew on a robust three-master, the "Belgica" The expedition was the first Antarctic expedition of a purely scientific nature. It was also the first to spend a winter in the austral polar night, and to make extensive use of photography. On 3 March 1898, and for twelve months, Belgica was imprisoned in the ice. The ice-bound ship drifted over 3.200 kilometers and was finally released on 14 February 1899 after much effort. The expedition returned with an important scientific harvest and a complete annual cycle of observations, which are still relevant for scientific comparisons today. The scientific data covered many fields: bathymetrical and hydrological soundings, numerous botanical and zoological samples, a large amount of oceanographical, meteorological, geomagnetic, glaciological and geological observation data. Beside nine Belgians, the crew consisted of six Norwegians (inel. Roald Amundsen), two Poles (inel. the scientist Henryk Arctowski), one Romanian (the scientist Emil Racoviţă) and an American (Dr. Frederick Cook, explorer of the North Pole).
