Towards Unknown Lands: The Norvegia Expedition 1929-1930

Storyline

The Norvegia expedition of 1929-30 was the third in a series of expeditions organized by Consul Lars Christensen of Sandefjord for the purpose of conducting practical scientific research in Antarctica. Its task was, in addition to carrying out certain work related to whaling, to establish a depot on Bouvet Island and to take aerial photographs of this new Norwegian possession. The expedition would then attempt to reach new land in the vast and unknown areas between Enderby Land and the Weddell Sea.
