Since the first attempts by Europeans to penetrate Greenland's
interior in the 18th century, its geometric center, Eismitte
("middle ice" in German), has been one of the most forbidding but
scientifically rich locations in the Arctic. Tracing its history
from European contact through to the Cold War, this study shows how
Eismitte was a setting for scientific knowledge production as well
as diplomatic maneuvering, providing new insights into the history
of polar exploration and the intertwining of the scientific and
geopolitical spheres. Author Janet Martin-Nielsen draws on new
research in private, government, military, and institutional
archives in multiple countries to explain how this very remote
place became a highly charged site of collaboration, contestation,
and competition.
