Summary: | Among his varied Resistance activities during the Nazi occupation of Norway, Tore Gjelsvik co-edited an underground newspaper called Bulletinen (The Bulletin). Four of the paper’s previous editors were arrested and the fifth, who handed it off to Gjelsvik, fled to neutral Sweden to avoid capture. Gjelsvik went on to become a geologist and to serve as director of the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI) from 1960 to 1983 (Fig. 1). In July 1982, toward the end of his appointment, he wrote a brief foreword to the maiden issue of Polar Research (Fig. 2), a periodical whose production and distribution posed no risk to life or limb. |
