The La Recherche Expedition of 1838 to 1840 was a French Admiralty expedition whose destination was the North Atlantic and Scandinavian islands, including the Faroe Islands, Spitsbergen and Iceland. The expedition in the Scandinavian countries from 1838 to 1840, was a direct continuation of shipments in 1835 and 1836. A letter dated 22 March 1837 revealed that Joseph Paul Gaimard and Xavier Marmier were preparing a trip to Copenhagen and Christiania (Norway) whose purpose was to gather additional information on Iceland and Greenland.

  • The La Recherche Expedition of 1838 to 1840 was a French Admiralty expedition whose destination was the North Atlantic and Scandinavian islands, including the Faroe Islands, Spitsbergen and Iceland. The expedition in the Scandinavian countries from 1838 to 1840, was a direct continuation of shipments in 1835 and 1836. A letter dated 22 March 1837 revealed that Joseph Paul Gaimard and Xavier Marmier were preparing a trip to Copenhagen and Christiania (Norway) whose purpose was to gather additional information on Iceland and Greenland. On 13 June 1838 the French corvette La Recherche left Le Havre in France, bound for Northern Scandinavia. Joseph Paul Gaimard (1796–1858), a physician and zoologist was the commanding officer of the expedition. The expedition was on a purely scientific nature, rather than a colonial venture in cooperation with the governments of Norway and Sweden. Gaimard invited the Sámi minister and botanist Lars Levi Læstadius on the voyage for his knowledge in botany and Sámi culture. Auguste Bravais, a French scientist and , a French artist, also accompanied the expedition. The company was given an international dimension. Gaimard had hired many renowned European scholars. The Arctic exploration in the 1870s marked a watershed in the history of international scientific cooperation. The first evidence of this cooperation was, in 1882, the International Polar Year. (en)
  • La Rechercheexpeditionen 1838–1840 var en vetenskaplig forskningsresa till det arktiska området som företogs med den franska korvetten La Recherche. Expeditionens ledare var Joseph Paul Gaimard och expeditionen finansierades av franska staten. Den franske kungen Ludvig Filip understödde välvilligt företaget eftersom han 1795 som landsflyktig rest genom Nordnorge och Finland och bevarade detta äventyr i nostalgiskt minne. I expeditionen deltog forskare från Frankrike, Danmark, Sverige och Norge samt konstnärer och författare från Frankrike. Expeditionen hade en bred ansats och skulle omfatta såväl vetenskapliga observationer som konstnärliga avbildningar och skönlitterära beskrivningar. De viktigaste resultaten kom från de undersökningar som gjordes av fysiker, astronomer, geografer och meteorologer i Nordnorge. Bland annat gjordes banbrytande observationer av jordmagnetism, norrsken och fossila strandlinjer vid Altafjorden. De konstnärer som deltog i expeditionen gjorde också intressanta bilder av samiska miljöer som tidigare inte hade avbildats i någon större utsträckning. (sv)
