British Arctic Air Route Expedition : ウィキペディア英語版 | British Arctic Air Route Expedition The British Arctic Air Route Expedition (BAARE) was a privately funded expedition to the east coast and interior of the island of Greenland. The expedition, led by Gino Watkins, aimed to draw improved maps and charts of poorly understood sections of Greenland's coastline, and to gather climate data from the coast and interior icecap during the north polar winter. The expedition served in Greenland in 1930-1931. ==Base hut== The expedition travelled to Greenland aboard the Quest, a historic sealing vessel previously used by Ernest Shackleton in 1921-1922. Upon their arrival in Greenland, the expedition set up their land-based headquarters: the ''base hut'', a winter camp located on a fjord coastline west of Tasiilaq, then known as ''Angmagssalik''. Here most of the members of the expedition's shore party overwintered, made contact with local Inuit, and sent out light expeditions to chart and survey adjoining areas of coastline.〔
