    Report on the Fulmarus Glacialis-Expedition Bear Island (1981)
    In:  Verslagen en Technische Gegevens (0928-2386) vol.32 (1981) nr.1 p.1

    Description: Bear Island, in Norwegian called and in Dutch ‘Bereneiland’, is situated in the Barents Sea at 74°25' N and 19°00' E. The island is rather isolated: about 450 km to the south the most nearby land is the Norwegian Nordkapp and to the north about 230 km of sea must be crossed before reaching the the most southern point of Spitsbergen. Bjørnøya belongs geographically to Svalbard (meaning “Cold Coast”), the group of islands in the Arctic Ocean under Norwegian sovereignity. The most important and best known island of this group is Spitsbergen. The name of the island was established in 1596 when two Dutch sailingvessels discovered the island during an attempt to find a passage east to China along the north. Gerrit de Veer was writer on board of one of these ships of which the captain was Jacob Heemskerck and the navigator Willem Barentsz. De Veer accurately described the killing of a “white bear” near the island and tells that they consequently named the island “Beyren Eylandt”.

    Report on fulmarus glacialis expedition II Jan Mayen june-august 1983 (1984)

    Description: Apart from being mysteriously attracted to the arctic environment we had several good reasons for ornithological research on Jan Mayen. The bird-life of this isolated arctic island was poorly known. Reports of ornithologists visiting Jan Mayen almost 50 years ago give some information on the species living there but are rather incomplete. Almost no data are available on the number of birds or on their distribution, and details on e.g. morphology of several species are unknown. Such data are of basic interest for all biological studies. Information on number and distribution of birds is, apart from its scientific interest, indispensable in decisions concerning management of the area. A special reason to go to Jan Mayen was the Fulmar Fulmarus glacialis (Norwegian: Havhest ; Dutch:Noordse Stormvogel). In a long-term study it is tried to reveal patterns in the Fulmar’s distribution and morphology. Such patterns may be the basis for a reconstruction of the evolutionary history of this species. In morphology the Atlantic Fulmar shows a wide variation in colour of the plumage and in size. General trends are that Atlantic Fulmars become darker and smaller towards colder breeding-areas. Data on colour and size of Jan Mayen Fulmars were very incomplete and confusing, and formed one of the last important gaps in the knowledge on Atlantic Fulmars. Field studies on Jan Mayen could solve this problem.
