Description

Explore the profound impact of Nordic research on the Arctic and Antarctic through this scholarly volume from Routledge. Throughout the twentieth century, glaciologists and geophysicists from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden provided significant scientific contributions that shaped our understanding of the polar regions. This book examines how polar research became a matter of security and policy during the Cold War, as scientific knowledge gained military importance. Beyond the technical data, the text explores how these scientific efforts helped establish the polar regions as Nordic spaces in both cultural and political terms. Readers will learn how scientists from Norden exerted influence far beyond their population size, geographical area, or economic activity. This work presents a view of Norden that extends well beyond traditional borders, offering deep insights into the history of polar science and its global implications.
