''Expedition cartography'' on Spitsbergen

Up to a few years ago, ''expedition cartography'' was synonymous with mapping topography during expeditions. At present, it consists mainly in the production of thematic maps presenting the findings of geoscientific field work. This paper refers to results of expedition cartography carried out on Spitsbergen, where, for more than one hundred years, excellent informative maps were drawn during various expeditions. Especially Wolfang PILLEWIZER's contributions are dealt with comprehensively.
