Abstract
Until the last decade or so, scientific material concerning the Queen Elizabeth Islands has been derived almost entirely from the work of expeditions. Some of these, it is true, went to the area only in attempts to discover new lands, to traverse the mythical "open polar sea", or to reach the North Pole itself, but several expeditions also made careful and detailed scientific observations. At least two such meteorological records are still of interest and value in the study of the climate of the northern part of Ellesmere Island.
