A seven-man party from the Polytechnic of Central London spent from 25 July to 26 August in north-west Spitsbergen. Field work included botanical survey and sampling, recording of human sleep patterns, and the making of a 16 mm colour film. The party had the support facility of a former Scottish fishing vessel, the Copious, which it shared with the Cambridge Spitsbergen Expedition. The group landed in the far north of Vasahalvøya on Makarovbreen. Overland glacier journeys were made from Makarovbreen south to Liefdef jorden and Bockf jorden, and from the lower end of Woodf jorden across to Kongsf jorden via Blomstrandbreen—roughly 160 km in all.

The Cambridge Spitsbergen Expedition, 1938 (Polar Record No. 17, p. 4), was led by L. H. McCabe for intensive geomorphological work in the Campbell Range at the head of Billen Bay, Ice Fjord. The principal work on nivation and corrie erosion (McCabe, 1939) was supplemented by topographical and geological survey, while some detailed investigations were made on the raised beaches and “soil polygons.” During this work a party of three crossed the ice divide by sledge to East Fjord, Wijde Bay, and spent ten days working from the northern side of the Stubendorff Glacier. The Stubendorff Mountains in this region were chosen for comparison of corrie erosion on account of their contrasting geological constitution. They are carved out of tough folded metamorphic rocks while the Campbell Range is formed of softer horizontal Carboniferous rocks.

The Paleogene chapter of Svalbard history is a quite distinct one. It begins with an unconformity, albeit a sub-parallel one representing a late Cretaceous hiatus. Resting on Albian and older strata, the Van Mijenfjorden Group of six formations totals a thickness of about 2500 m in the Central Basin of Spitsbergen. The outcrop is ringed by Early Cretaceous strata in a broad syncline (Fig. 20.1). The strata are largely non-marine, coal-bearing sandstones, with interbedded marine shales and they range in age through Paleocene and Eocene.From latest Paleocene through Eocene time the West Spitsbergen Orogeny caused (Spitsbergian) deformation along the western border of the Central Basin, but it is most conspicuous in the folding and thrusting of Carboniferous through Early Cretaceous rocks. The orogen extended westwards to and beyond the western coast of central and southern Spitsbergen including Precambrian and Early Paleozoic rocks, which had already been involved in earlier tectogenesis. The eastward-verging thrusting extended beneath the Tertiary basin and reactivated older faults to the east.In the wider context Svalbard, adjacent to the north coast of Greenland, had been an integral part of Pangea from Carboniferous through Cretaceous time. The northward extension of the Atlantic opening reached and initiated the spreading of the Arctic Eurasia Basin at the beginning of the Paleogene Period. This led to the separation of Svalbard together with the Barents Shelf and northern Europe from Greenland by dextral strike-slip transform faulting. In the course of this progression, oblique collision between northeast Greenland and Svalbard caused
