Already in 1888, Fridtjof Nansen took a camera with him on his journey over the Greenland ice cap. The same year, Kodak had introduced a roll camera that could take 100 photographs, so the expedition avoided having to take a lot of heavy equipment with them.<\/p>\n<p>The collection contains photographs from Norwegian and foreign polar expeditions to both the north and the south. Mapping was an important part of expeditions to unknown areas, and there are systematic sets of photographs from Svalbard, Greenland and Antarctica. Various kinds of research were carried out on many expeditions, and photographs in the library cover everything from geology to geophysics and oceanography. Economic activities in polar regions, like mining in Svalbard, sealing in the White Sea, whaling in the Southern Ocean, and hunting and trapping in Greenland and Svalbard are represented in the collection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-47f1gn-fd3a3bf668a6d084fcf8c253dcd20c6a'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-5' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-5' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-5' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Modern photos\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Modern photos\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Modern photos\">Modern photos<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-5' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-5' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Nowadays, the Norwegian Polar Institute performs a great deal of fieldwork in Svalbard and the waters off Svalbard, and also in Antarctica. Personnel on cruises and doing fieldwork take photographs that are stored in the photograph library. These record modern research, mapping, scenery, animals and plants. With many active employees taking photographs in the field, our photograph library is expanding all the time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-3204mf-bc85e3b370243a7943749772968a1b32'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-6' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-6' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-6' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Areas\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Areas\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Areas\">Areas<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-6' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-6' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Our photo library covers these areas among others:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alaska<\/li>\n<li>Bear Island<\/li>\n<li>Franz Joseph Land<\/li>\n<li>Greenland<\/li>\n<li>Jan Mayen<\/li>\n<li>Iceland<\/li>\n<li>Novaya Zemlya<\/li>\n<li>Svalbard<\/li>\n<li>Antarctica<\/li>\n<li>Bouvet\u00f8ya (Bouvet Island)<\/li>\n<li>Peter I Island<\/li>\n<li>South Georgia<\/li>\n<li>South Shetland Islands<\/li>\n<li>South Sandwich Islands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6378,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"emne":[],"class_list":["post-3751","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/npolar.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/npolar.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/npolar.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npolar.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npolar.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3751"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/npolar.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3751\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50625,"href":"https:\/\/npolar.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3751\/revisions\/50625"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npolar.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/npolar.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npolar.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3751"},{"taxonomy":"emne","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npolar.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/emne?post=3751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
