Description

The Sorgfjorden project, an archaeological research expedition, was conducted between the 8th and the 20th of July, 2017. The expedition documented remains from a Russian-Swedish geodetic expedition during 1898-1902 in the area around Sorgfjorden on northeastern Spetsbergen, Svalbard.

Traditional documentation methods were combined with new technologies in order to fulfill the expedition's goals. Archival and printed materials were collected and studied in preparation for the expedition.

The project was carried out by researchers from Sweden and Norway with experience in research in the polar regions.
