Royal Navy East Greenland 1966

The expedition set out with the aims of exploring the region west of the Femstjernen glacier, to make a number of first ascents of unclimbed peaks and to complete a programme of geological research. The expedition made a large number of first ascents of peaks up to ~2,000m. Geological research and a botanical collection were also carried out during the course of the expedition. Sadly, in the course of the climbing, Garden was killed by a fall into a crevasse and Stocken by rock fall.
