| 500 | |a Stationed at a lonely wind-pounded outpost in an isolated backwater of World War II, the nineteen men of the Greenland Ice Cap Detachment were charged with erecting a weather/rescue station on the ten-thousand-foot-high Ice Cap to serve the Polar aircraft-ferrying route to Europe and to provide vital weather data for the expanding war effort. Greenland's Icy Fury is a lighthearted accounting of one of the least accessible and least known but most stunning parts of the globe - southeast Greenland - and its natural history, geography, geology, glaciers, and foremost, its savage weather and awesome climate. The Polar route to Europe afforded stepping stones for then-short-range aircraft, even though the landing fields were mere pinpoints in the wilderness, but hazardous flying conditions took a heavy toll of planes and airmen | ||
| 500 | |a Hitler's Nazis as well as the Allies knew that Greenland's white expanse was a virtual weather factory that played a key role in the day-to-day weather of the North Atlantic shipping lanes and the battlefields of western Europe. Ironically, few people today even realize that American troops were stationed in Greenland during World War II or what obscure role these troops played | ||
| 500 | |a . A member of the all-volunteer Ice Cap Detachment, and a graduate geologist before the war, Wallace Hansen found time to look at the rocks, fjords, glaciers, and wildlife of southeast Greenland and to set down the framework for this book. Greenland's Icy Fury is aimed at inquisitive readers who appreciate the outdoors, are curious about their world, and would enjoy decidedly offbeat bits of WWII nostalgia | ||

Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1. Digital Library Federation, December 2002 Includes bibliographical references (p. 265-267) and index Stationed at a lonely wind-pounded outpost in an isolated backwater of World War II, the nineteen men of the Greenland Ice Cap Detachment were charged with erecting a weather/rescue station on the ten-thousand-foot-high Ice Cap to serve the Polar aircraft-ferrying route to Europe and to provide vital weather data for the expanding war effort. Greenland's Icy Fury is a lighthearted accounting of one of the least accessible and least known but most stunning parts of the globe - southeast Greenland - and its natural history, geography, geology, glaciers, and foremost, its savage weather and awesome climate. The Polar route to Europe afforded stepping stones for then-short-range aircraft, even though the landing fields were mere pinpoints in the wilderness, but hazardous flying conditions took a heavy toll of planes and airmen Hitler's Nazis as well as the Allies knew that Greenland's white expanse was a virtual weather factory that played a key role in the day-to-day weather of the North Atlantic shipping lanes and the battlefields of western Europe. Ironically, few people today even realize that American troops were stationed in Greenland during World War II or what obscure role these troops played . A member of the all-volunteer Ice Cap Detachment, and a graduate geologist before the war, Wallace Hansen found time to look at the rocks, fjords, glaciers, and wildlife of southeast Greenland and to set down the framework for this book. Greenland's Icy Fury is aimed at inquisitive readers who appreciate the outdoors, are curious about their world, and would enjoy decidedly offbeat bits of WWII nostalgia Hansen, Wallace R. / (1920- ) ram Hansen, Wallace R. / 1920- fast Hansen, Wallace R. / 1920- Hansen, Wallace R. 1920- United States / Army fast World War (1939-1945) fast United States / Army United States Army Search and rescue operations Greenland History 20th century 1900 - 1999 fast Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1940-1945 gnd rswk-swf HISTORY / Military / World War II. bisacsh Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 / Groenland / Récits personnels américains ram Bases militaires américaines / Groenland ram Meteorologische Beobachtung swd Geschichte 1940-1945 swd Reisebericht swd Militärstützpunkt swd Armed Forces / Search and rescue operations fast Geologists fast Meteorologists fast Military meteorology fast Search and rescue operations fast Geschichte Weltkrieg (1939-1945) World War, 1939-1945 Greenland Military meteorology Greenland History 20th century World War, 1939-1945 Search and rescue operations Greenland World War, 1939-1945 Personal narratives, American Geologists United States Biography Meteorologists United States Biography Reisebericht (DE-588)4076645-7 gnd rswk-swf Meteorologische Beobachtung (DE-588)4169664-5 gnd rswk-swf Militärstützpunkt (DE-588)4169972-5 gnd rswk-swf USA Grönland Südost (DE-588)4117977-8 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Grönland Südost (DE-588)4117977-8 g Meteorologische Beobachtung (DE-588)4169664-5 s Geschichte 1940-1945 z Reisebericht (DE-588)4076645-7 s 1\p DE-604 Militärstützpunkt (DE-588)4169972-5 s 2\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=18194 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
