MAEIOX EXPEDITIOX TO DAVIS STRAIT AND BAFFIN BAY 



The Currents in the Arctic Archipelago 



Figure 25. — The basis for the curreuts indicated by the arrows has been 

 obtained from a number of observations on the drift of floating objects, 

 such as ships, wreckage, buoys, ice, etc. The arrows show quite conclusively 

 that the general movement of the water and the ice is from the northwest 

 out into Baffin Bay and Davis Strait. (The map is taken from Mecking, 

 1906.)
