As large sea areas have not been sounded due to financial reasons, the description of the north easterly and easterly areas of Svalbard in particular are essentially based on experiences. This English version has been largely translated by Roy Cooney who has previously translated publications for the NHS and UKHO. This edition, as previously, is a joint project between The Norwegian Polarinstitute (NP) and Norwegian Hydrographic Service (NHS).
This book's revision is based on earlier editions and received reports. In 1990 it was reprinted with reported changes and corrections.
